Peggle Nights

The Short


Pros
- More Peggle, but at night!
- Still the perfect drug
- Attempt to mix things up by making the animals superheroes is cute
- One new animal, and her powerup might actually be my favorite over the dragon's (gasp!)

Cons
- Originally released at $20! What?
- Essentially just an expansion pack that does nothing new aside add a ton more levels
- Might ruin your life. Like Peggle.

This review isn't going to be very long. Just saying. 

The "Long"

So Peggle is pretty good, guys. And despite having a ton of content, like a drug-addict eventually you are going to want more. And PopCap, the ever benevolent dealer, has delivered in the form of Peggle Nights. While they've released a bunch of free expansions on Steam (and by "bunch" I mean "one"), this one actually costs money, and for good reason: it's essentially the same amount of content in Peggle, only at night. Which means it's just more Peggle.

This probably looks familiar. 

So the game is exactly the same, so read the Peggle review if you need to know about that. there are only two real changes: the aesthetic (which is at "night," where the animals are dreaming of their ideal careers) and one new characters, Tesla, who shoots a line of lightning that is actually pretty awesome. Other than that, it's the same addicting collection of minigames, puzzles, and random pinball shooting with crazy effects all over again.

Just listen to this song during the review. It pretty much covers it. 

Currently, you can get both Peggle and Peggle Nights combined for $15 on Steam (vs $10 each) which is a pretty sweet deal. Trust me: after getting Peggle you are going to want Nights. It's just how this works. It escalates. It's a gateway game; pretty sure you'll be playing JRPGs and level grinding on MMOs and wondering where it all went wrong. Trust me. It's a great feeling.

And Electroboltin'. 

For the cheap asking price and massive number of new levels, Peggle Nights is more than worth it for those looking for more. Which is everybody. So if you liked Peggle, might as well grab this too. Plus the Electrobolt power is awesome.

Now make a real sequel, PopCap, and have some actually unique minigames this time. Like Plants vs Zombies. Oh yeah, make a sequel to that, too. 

Four out of five stars. 

You are the perfect drug.
