Advantages: Amazingly original game. Definitely recommended

Disadvantages: The Adventure mode is a bit short. If anything its too addictive!

There are some games which look completely insane, some which are completely insane and some with are insanely fun to play. Peggle is all three.

From the first time you play the game and a Unicorn greets you you know that you aren't going to be bored whilst playing this vibrant and addictive puzzle game.

The aim of all the levels is simple. You have a peg board and you have to fire 10 balls at pegs. Each peg that is hit is removed and you are awarded points. The premise is simple but the need for "just one more game" after already playing for a few hours is quite shocking and bordering on some worrying addiction.

You can choose from a number of different characters each of which have different "powers" when a green peg is hit. For example the Beaver gives you two balls in one go whilst the Owl (Zen Master Hu) can guide your shot so you can get more points.

The length of the single player is quite short but really it's just a long tutorial for the challenges. Some of which are easy, some of which are agonisingly hard. I'm still yet to complete the later challenges and I doubt I ever will.

What is also great about this game is the multiplayer addition. This is where you compete with other people in order to get the highest score. Sometimes the luckiest shot can get you the win online and Peggle shows them off amazingly by going into slow motion when your about to hit the last peg.

I have had this game for a while now and I'm still playing it. I've played nothing like this before and the originality shows, it still keeps me entertained and I find myself going back to levels in order to beat my old high score by trying different characters or ways of beating the level.

Summary: Fantastic game, bright, colourful and has kept me easily amused.
