    In reply to Zuma's Revenge Micro-Review: Bridging The Mom And Son Gap
    I love Zuma just for the sole fact my wife can lose track of time playing it, thus justifying my game playing and nullifying the "well it's not like I ever play video games!" argument.

    Personally, I love the boss battles - I think they're a fun break from the typical puzzle levels, and play with the game mechanics in a fun and interesting way.

    That said, the checkpoint system is certainly maddening. I've been stuck in the latter half of the 40's for a while now, thanks to that.

    Cool I think I'll buy something that I can find for free online.

    Never got that with games like this. With a miniscule amount of digging you can find almost exactly the same game for free somewhere.

    @ppppp: I'm pretty sure that up until now, Zuma Deluxe has been the only game in the series. The "Deluxe" bit just means you paid for the full version while Zuma is the free one with less levels that you can play on the Pop-Cap website, if my knowledge of Pop-Cap's development style is correct.

    wait, Peggle has a story? "Somebody dropped a BB round on some metal once and noticed that it bounced. So we made a game about it".

    I guess that means the "story" will only contain one level.

    Terrific! I had been worried they had given up on putting this out on XBLA, but they did not disappoint.

    All joking aside, what is it that people like about Peggle? AFter hearing how great it was from numerous sources I played it a couple of times and was not all that impressed and certainly was not addicted.


    Is there something I am missing or is the game just not my cup of tea?

    @AdmiralRupert: I played it for the first time last night and got sucked in to about 2 hours of it. The answer for me is that it's something I can do while watching sports. ^_^


    Beyond that, the gameplay is easy to learn, the graphics are pretty, and the music isn't bad at all. I about busted out laughing when "Ode to Joy" was played the first time.

    I've got both versions. It's $0.99, it's kind of a no brainer.

    $1 is absurdly cheap. I just picked it up, and I can see why there is so much hype for it.It's sort of a cross between pachinko and Bubble Bobble. I normally don't buy games for my Touch either, but I'm glad I did.

    @bakagaijin: BUT they don't have the gameplay music, are you f'ing kidding me? You cannot play this game without the gameplay music, and we shouldn't be reqarding lazy developers that are going to add things 'later'. It's like saying people should play MMOs, how can you say that? Why must they patch their game and add to my experience? If WoW were $0.99 I wouldn't buy it.

    Don't buy this, it's a ripoff - there's no music during gameplay, which is a large part of the Peggle experience. Without music, it's like some crap cellphone game rather than a handheld game console game.

    @iizcallum: Well, it does still have Ode to Joy in it, so they at least got that right, it's the normal gameplay music that's missing.


    And so you guys are saying that we should do the developer's job, putting in the game's original music ourselves?? If you can even find MP3's of the game's songs, and somehow make them play during gameplay but stop during Extreme, and choose different songs on different levels...


    My point is, it's a very lazy developer who doesn't put music in their game, especially if it's a port of a game that had music in it. That's what I expect from the average crappy cellphone game. The iPhone has SO MANY crappy games on it, we shouldn't reward lazy developers.
