Peggle Nights is a casual puzzle videogame developed by PopCap Games. It was released worldwide September 16, 2008, for PC, and was later ported to Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Why it rocks

 * 1) Like the original game the gameplay is quite original and additive.
 * 2) Simple but colorful graphics and backgrounds.
 * 3) *The ambience of the game, about entering the Masters' dreams is quite nice.
 * 4) Eleven awesome Peggle Masters with awesome superpowers, for example:
 * 5) *Bjorn who shows where the ball will go.
 * 6) *Splork who makes an explotion.
 * 7) *Lord Cinderbolt who launchs a Fire Ball
 * 8) *Master Hu who improves your shot
 * 9) *And Marina, the new master who makes a lighting from the first peg hitted by the ball to the Free Ball Bucket
 * 10) Pleasant classical music that sounds at the most precise moments
 * 11) Is funny to play with other people in Duel Mode
 * 12) PopCap launches some levels packs to the game, giving people the ability to expand the gaming experience
 * 13) *One of them was an art contest, making people have a chance to have a level with their own drawing, which is quite nice.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game is simply the same Peggle game with different levels and added features.
 * 2) Like the original game there are some infamous levels like Stage 12 and Challenge Mode
 * 3) *To get the biggest scores is necesary to play levels to many times.
 * 4) The previous mencionated levels packs now can't be downloaded in PopCap's website because you have been redirected to Electronic Arts's site, the only way to download them is with external links like the previous showed links.

Reception
Approbation towards aspects of the original Peggle were prominent in reviews of Peggle Nights, such as its “balanced” gameplay, level design, addictive nature, and vibrant presentation. The fact of Peggle Nights being simply the same Peggle game with different levels and added features was praised by some reviewers, but lukewarmly-thought-of by others.

Michael Scarpelli of Inside Mac Games called Peggle Nights's levels “far more intricate than in the original Peggle. There are moving pieces and barriers abound and there are a far greater percentage of levels that will take a handful of tries to pass.” The Ace awards were also honored by reviewers,including Scarpelli who reasoned they added replay value to Peggle Nights.

Trivia

 * The opening theme is Clair de Lune, Suite bergamasque No. 3, composed by classical musician Claude Debussy.
 * Anyone can create level packs through PeggleEdit, an unofficial tool developed by programmer Ted John.
