I was pretty excited to hear the long-awaited sequel for Peggle was nearly upon us. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm hit a brick wall when I learned the game is an Xbox One exclusive (at least for now). The pain doesn’t stop there though. Here’s Jeffrey Grubb at VentureBeat:<\/p>\n
\n Peggle 2 on Xbox One has graphical issues. On at least a handful of levels, the framerate takes a huge dive. This isn\u2019t some 3D-intensive first-person shooter. Peggle 2 is still just a 2D physics-based puzzler with the occasional particle effect. Regardless, PopCap must have still struggled to optimize it for Microsoft\u2019s latest console.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n I was pretty excited to play Peggle 2 with my wife. Unfortunately, to accomplish that, I\u2019d need to buy her another Xbox One or send her to a friend\u2019s house. The title features online play, but you can\u2019t pass the controller or play locally.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ick. Well, here’s hoping the inevitable iOS\/Steam versions are a bit more polished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I was pretty excited to hear the long-awaited sequel for Peggle was nearly upon us.
