Big, Arcade-Style Challenges for Strategic Thinkers
Fans of the Peggle PC series will quickly recognize the forces at work in this chaotic, pachinko-style pinball game. You'll need to practice using the stylus to fine-tune your aim while calculating the perfect moment for each release, and you'll get a rush out of sending balls flying at strategically located bricks, pegs, and obstacles to score points and conquer a broad array of challenges. The advanced physics of previous Peggle games is now at work in this DS edition, which means the trajectory of each bouncing ball is calculated in real time, and the results of a shot may change if your aim is off by even one pixel. The precision of your angles also means that there's quite a bit of math-practice hidden in what seems like a purely entertaining game. Watching what happens after you let the ball go is a big part of the fun, since even the most skilled players are sure to get a few tantalizing, unlikely bounces each round.

All-New Underground Challenges
One place fans of the PC-based Peggles won't have a leg up is facing the parts of this game that are set in the Bonus Underground -- an exclusive, DS-specific addition to the Peggle universe. All in all, with 120 levels, two full-featured adventure modes, and 90 challenge stages to try and conquer, you can be sure that Peggle Dual Shot brings more than it's fair share of challenges to the portable NDS system. There's even a duel mode that lets you go head to head with the computer or take on a friend and establish grounds for bragging rights.

Unique Artwork and Magical Masters
In the course of your training, you'll also enjoy the backdrop set by a colorful, fantastical world, and you'll meet ten unique Peggle Masters. From Bjorn, the Super Guide unicorn, to the Renfield Pumpkin, master of Spooky Ball, these quirky, personable characters have their own specialties and magic powers, adding depth and a little bit of back story accent the strategic elements of each contest. And the unique, illustration-inspired artwork is packed with bold colors that really ground the Peggle's magical feeling in a world all its own.

Customer Reviews

Two games in one
I was so happy to hear they were putting Peggle on the DS. Considering the small size, I think the graphics are good, it's hard to compare with a full sized PC screen. The game is still fun. The only complaints I have is the "close up" feature can be annoying when you are trying to just move the pointer slightly. Also, there is a glitch in some levels where the pointer moves to the top of the screen and you can't move it (or it is a flaw in my own game card, I don't know). You have to wait for it move itself out, kind of like unlocking or something. In a timed game, this would be extremely frustrating. All in all, a fun game if you like Peggle in the full version.

Not as good as PC or iPod
I love Peggle. I became addicted to Peggle on my iPod, then I got it for my PC so I was so excited that it was coming out on DS. I hate to say it but the DS game is disappointing. The graphics aren't good and the ball doesn't have the free bouncing action that it does on the iPod or PC. If you've never played Peggle before you will probably enjoy the DS version but if you're already a Peggle fan like me you'll probably be a little disappointed.

A lot of fun for a small cost.
I took a chance on this title after reading reviews and have to say that this is a great game. It's an affordable price that packs a lot of fun! My husband starting playing as well and now we are both hooked on Peggle. Levels are fun to re-play because you can choose the character you want to play and each has a special power plus the music that plays when you clear a level is pretty funny. I don't think you will regret this purchase.
