Still not seen this in action or played it but with it coming to PS3 I might have a look now - what do you actually do?
Its coming to PS3? Damn, would have waited!
Its such a fucking simple concept that shouldnt work, but does.
Basically, you have a screen full of dots (the 'pegs') which come in different colours. Blue do nothing, purple increase your score, green give special power up and the most important, orange, are what you have to clear all of on the board to win the round.
You fire a ball from the top of the screen, hitting pegs as you go down. The more you hit, the more you score and as I mentioned above, the idea is to clear the orange ones.
At the bottom of the screen is a 'bucket' that slides left and right. As your ball falls, if it lands in the bucket, you get an extra ball (start with 10) and if it misses the bucket then you lose that ball.
There are loads of crazy scoring chances though - hit a purple peg gives you a score boost, the more orange you have cleared in the round gives you a bigger multiplier, landing in the bucket gives a bonus score, hitting 2 orange a distance apart gives a 'distance bonus' etc etc etc.
After the ball reaches the bottom (either the bucket or off the screen) the score you got is added to the total.
In SP, you just have to clear all the orange, but in MP it really shines.
4 players can play, each take their own shot on their own board and at the end of everbodies shot, you see a point tally for that 'round'. When taking your shot, you can also view anybody elses screen to see what is happening.
In this mode, you dont have to clear all the orange pegs, its just whoever scores the most after 10 balls. Clearing all the orange gives an extra bonus though.
Its really, really cool - lots of tension as the other take their shots in close games etc... good fun!

Or, just go to YT and check out the vids! LOL
Wonder if the PS3 version will have YT uploading (you can do action replays in the game and at the end of the MP games, you get to see the 'Shot of the Match' from whoever won)...
