I love Peggle. Multiplayer could be fun.

I have the full version on my computers at home and work. On my work computer, I've completed 73 of the 75 challenges. I still need to complete the challenge that requires you to score 1,000,000 points on 3 set boards and the challenge that requires you to get 750,000 points on any board. I've tried both numerous times and I can't even get close.

[Canis Firebrand]

I haven't played it in a while. But if and when this hits XBLA, I'll probably get it. It is a good time waster game that is fun as well.

[NJAsmodeus]

Release date on this yet? I love this game on PC. Addictive and fun. Getting the last peg on a board cracks me up every time.

[NJAsmodeus]

After some investigation Peggle was announced at a second quarter release. I believe the third quarter starts April, so more info might surface soon.

I haven't played in forever, but I still smile thinking about the drum roll, Ode To Joy, and fireworks at the end of each level.

Yea, my kids love that part, and my wife laughs everytime that happens. Or maybe it's because I do a dance...:sarcasm:

I don't do a dance, but I do tend to raise my arms in triumph as the orchestra strikes up a glorious song in my honor.

[NJAsmodeus]

9 months later and this baby still isn't born yet? :(

Really want this game.

[Music]

It must be coming soon because there is a hands-on review/preview in the Jan 09 OXM... though the mag does say Release: Early 2009

[NJAsmodeus]

I need my peg fix. I want me some peggle achievements.

[Canis Firebrand]

I cannot wait for this game... It needs to be presented on the 360 in all its glory when you get the last scoring point and the music starts.

[Slitt Vicious]

Maybe I am confused, but is there something I missed about this game?

It just seemed like Plinko except you have a tiny bit of control over what happens. Was there something else to it?

[Duster72]

I have been waiting for the XBLA release on this, so I am pretty excited. They had hands-on stuff on last week's 1up yours, so it must be very close.

[UncleGramps]

I will purchase this game.

[CzarCastic]

I will purchase this game.

This.

Does anyone know if there will be multiplayer support?

[Canis Firebrand]

This.

Does anyone know if there will be multiplayer support?

That would be all kinds of fun.. And if there is... anyone that does not have Peggle... out of the clan.. ;)



:jk:

[Duster72]

Yes. It's 4 player multi-player according to 1UY.

[CzarCastic]

Yes. It's 4 player multi-player according to 1UY.

Nice!:thumbsup:

I love Peggle.

There are a few multiplayer modes and at least one will allow 4 players. I also believe they have multi-player you can play on the same console so you can play offline multiplayer.

I think it includes 75 boards and they are intending to have a good chunk more as paid DLC down the road.

I don't know if i will get it or not since i already have it on the PC.

[NJAsmodeus]

B....b..but the achievements and the leaderboards!

The "Must buy or out of the clan" call has been put into effect...

;)



You know you'll get it miyu... you want to play with us... join us and be with the cool kids that will be playing it.

[xmiyux]

:shrug: I'd rather spend the cash on various Community Games that are new experiences. Or wait for some board games to hit Live.


But who knows, i'm a mercurial fellow who might change my mind when i play the demo. Also, if blueberry expresses interest then it is in immediate purchase.

[NJAsmodeus]

Operation Blueberry Madness is in effect.

A shock and awe campaign of Peggle is the greatest thing since sliced *soy product*.
