Playing Peggle 2 just makes me happy. Whether I’ve just hit an unbelievably improbable shot or I’m watching a gratuitous display of abominable snowman twerking by new Peggle Master Berg after triggering a level-ending Extreme Fever, its ability to bring a smile to my face is uncanny. Way back in 2007, the original pachinko-meets-pinball Peggle was arguably the best puzzle game to come along since the legendary Tetris, and its sequel brushes off a few annoyances to become the first no-brainer, just-play-this-now game on the Xbox One.
Peggle 2 is similar to Rock Band 2 as as follow-ups go. It takes an inherently compelling formula involving colored pegs, tweaks it ever so slightly, and adds a couple new twists. The ball -- still fired from a cannon at the top of the screen -- feels both a tad smaller and a bit bouncier as well. Or perhaps the pegs you’re aiming to clear are themselves a bit larger. Regardless, it’s neither better nor worse than the enjoyably approachable physics of Peggle 1, it’s just different.
