Microsoft Pandora's Box

Summary: The first Puzzle Game I liked!
Review: This is a thoroughly addictive game. The graphics are great, and the puzzles are neither too easy nor too difficult. But it does get progessively harder and more complex the more puzzles one solves... One drawback (and the reason for only 4 stars) is that I have to completely exit each and every application running at the time, even those in the background (that's right: CTRL-ALT-DEL and close everything in the list except for Explorer and Systray) before I can play Pandora. This also happens on my other computer system. It sure ties up resources, but other than that: intriguing, and it has the power to keep you at your PC all night (no kidding!).

Summary: GREAT GAME
Review: This is the best puzzle game I have ever seen. Just nothing to compare it with, I have searched and and can find nothing that even comes close to this game, I just wish Microsoft would come up with another one like this.

Summary: WHAT A GAME!
Review: This was one of the best computer games I have played. It really kept you going. Couldn't wait to get on and play it every night. Was very sorry to see it end. Played it twice. if anyone knows any simular games out there please post it.

Summary: Our kids are fighting for the computer to play this one
Review: We finally found a computer game my daughter likes! It's way too old for her (she's 7), and we actually bought it for me. But the kids got so excited watching me play that they have dived in themselves. The game includes some built in "cheats" (if you solve some puzzles, you win a token that will give you hints or even solve a puzzle you are having trouble with) so it doesn't get too frustrating for the younger players. And the underlying stories are fascinating for them -- they want to find more trickster stories about Anansi and other folk tale characters in the program. I don't think my kids would have had the attention span to stick with it until they saw me spending time on it and solving the puzzles, however.

Summary: Challanging, non-violent, and addicting!
Review: Yesterday, I visited some friends who were in the midst of a four-day gaming party. A laptop was open and it had Pandora's Box on it (one of the gamers, Lee, was an artist on the 3-D puzzles). Not being a part of the on-going D&D game, I spent the next three hours (or was it four) unravelling the first level. It was midnight before I could be torn away from it! I haven't liked a computer game since Tetris. I hate the blow-it-up stuff, and Myst just takes too long. Pandora's Box has the beauty of Myst, the immediate gratification of Tetris, and an appreciate lack of bombs and body parts. Now I have to get a PC emulater for my Mac. Drat!
