Summary: Most intriguing
Review: ... I had played it at a friend's house, and enjoyed it immensely.
A young student and I spent hours just having fun with it. Each puzzle opens up a new dimension. A new way to look at a problem to solve it. Encourages thinking and problem solving.
I don't know why Microsoft discontinued it, but I found it to be most thought provoking.
Mr. Gates, get it back out there.

Summary: A game geared to puzzle lovers
Review: A good puzzle game for adults who are not into the role playing simulation type games. There are many different types of puzzles to work on as well as a travel type game. I wish there were more games geared to adults like Lemmings, Lost Vikings, the old Nintendo Fire and Ice, etc. Games that challenge the mind and not just coordination.

Summary: Very addictive!
Review: And hours of entertainment! The graphics are gorgeous and the satisfaction of completing beautiful photographs and art one after the other is well worth the price. I can't pick a favorite puzzle type because I enjoy playing most of them (except Rotascope). I also liked how there is a quest to fulfill: chase the tricksters around the world and get them back in Pandora's Box. But its' not so time consuming and involving that you can't step away from the computer when reality calls. I love gaming but as a mother of two kids under 3 years, I want to be able to walk away and not worry about being killed in the game. If you only have time to play a puzzle here and there, its' prefectly fine. If you get stuck, you have free-solve tokens to get past those puzzles you don't like, reducing frustration and the GAAH!!! effect. But they're generally not so difficult as to be near impossible to solve for the average person. Each puzzle type is very easy to learn so you don't spend all the time trying to figure out how to get around and can get down to actually playing. I'm going to keep this one around as I think it also provides an exciting geography/cultural/art/mythology "spring board" lesson for children and would be lots of fun for a parent and older child (maybe 9+?) to play together.

Summary: mediocre, grows tiresome easily
Review: For twenty bucks, I wasn't expecting the world. I was expecting more than prettied-up jigsaw puzzles, though. This is the try-to-exhaustion kind of game, not much strategizing involved. Get the ancient "Ishido" instead (if you can find it), it's much more creative.

Summary: Pandora's:puzzles are repetative
Review: I found the Pandora's puzzles a bit boring. While there are several types of puzzles, you have to solve the same type of puzzles over and over again. Only the difficulty of the puzzles change. If you like repetition then this will be fine but, if you like variety this is not for you.

Summary: Hours of fun... and frustration... ;-)
Review: I have spent hours having fun and at times, getting very frustrated. I enjoy it immensely, though. They do give you a tutorial with all the different types of puzzles. I received this from a friend, which shows that friends, can indeed, be mixed blessings ;-) If you are into puzzles, shapes and such, I think you'll enjoy this game.

Summary: Not much here...
Review: I have to disagree with the other reviewers. I think that the puzzles were not mentally engaging. The interface is very pretty but the challenge just wasn't there!

Review: I like this game. The puzzles get a bit repetitive in that they are variations of the same type. But the content is so interesting, and you get to travel all over the world and visit places while challenging your mind. The graphics are quite beautiful and varied.
