I find it slightly more interesting than staring at tile patterns, which is better than it sounds because I can usually find something pretty entertaining about a tile pattern (generally inventing an archaic set of movement rules and seeing from which tile I can reach the largest grouping of tiles). I think the trick to Peggle is that, while not amazingly interesting, it has nothing that makes you want to quit. Once you start a round, nothing aggravating stops you from playing, the level design is quite varied, and the whole thing is vaguely pleasant. If you're the kind of person who actually gets bored (IE: too lazy to amuse yourself), then Peggle is a godsend. As a sidenote: I was a huge fan of the Fire Emblem series, and then I played Path of Radiance. Path of Radiance was the first I played without an emulator, and thus the first I played without savestates. Fire Emblem is vastly more enjoyable when you have savestates.

I feel the exact same way about Peggle. And Fire Emblem. Of all my RPG loving friends, I don't play Fire Emblem anymore. Do not worry. I feel the exact same way about Peggle. And Fire Emblem.

I'm thinking maybe it's not the luck dependency that's the true factor, but just that <i>Peggle</i> is simply truly just <i>not that good</i>.
