Summary: I want more!
Review: I love these puzzles and have solved them many times. It's totally addicting. I can play for hours. I love that the puzzles are of various art works... photos, paintings, and sculptures from all over the world. There's just one problem... I'm ready for a new updated version. Now!

Summary: Great Challege
Review: I really enjoy each type of puzzle. Then seeing what the picture is when the puzzle is complete. I also liked the fact that after the puzzles are complete they each tell something about the picture and that the pictures are something located in the city that you are in. I think that the instructions are very good and I would recommend this to my friends.

Summary: Pandoras Box
Review: I recently purchased Pandoras Box. I cannot get enough of this game. I am not a fan of these shootem up or role playing games. This game is excellent for all family members. My 9 year old daughter puts me to shame in this game. She loves the game and is excellent at solving the puzzles that I get stuck on. We play this game for hours on end. I am not a big fan of Jigsaw Puzzles, but this game is terrific. The different types of puzzles are very intriguing and addictive. If you like solving puzzles and like a challenge I would highly recommend this game.

Summary: Great Game!!
Review: I was very familiar with Pajitnov,s work as I played Tetris on a Game Boy until I got it over 300,000 on 5 occasions, before donating it along with the Game Boy to a charity auction. Pandora's Box is right up there in same level of interest; I went completely through it 3 Times, with the exception of the Image Hole Puzzles which I personally did not care for. The program I have is the Puzzle Game Of The Year Edition with the 50 extra puzzles and I've been through the extras three times also. My only complaint is that there is no "Second edition" with different puzzles. Maybe MS can twist Pajitnov's arm and get him to make another program. I have bought 3 more CD's and gave them to my Grandchildren, who also got a big bang out of the game. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I'm 71 years old. I guess you could say that the game has timeless appeal. HO-HO-HO.

Summary: When is the next one coming out?
Review: I'm not a big fan of computer games, but this one is trulyunique! It is much more relaxing than a game like Tetris (another oneI like!) that moves at an increasingly frenetic pace.

Pandora's Box is a game where you can take your time and enjoy! The pictures that make up the puzzles are beautiful and I like most of the puzzles - ...the one with the moving hole isn't very good. I really enjoy the Rotascope and the FocusPoint puzzles.

Another advantage of this game is that all ages can enjoy it. Children can be on an even playing field with adults as people have different skills with these spatial things. Math and reading is not required. It might be a good game for parents to play with their children!

Microsoft has developed a great game and it seems many people are enjoying it! It's the only one like it that I've seen and it's very reasonably priced.

I just hope that they come out with Pandora's Box 2 relatively soon!

Summary: The best puzzle game ever
Review: I'm not the type of person that likes the blood, guts and gore games, so when I discovered Pandora's Box it was a real surprise. The different games contained in this software are easy to learn, yet challenging. It starts out with easy versions of the puzzles and gradually the puzzles are more difficult to solve. There is no "time limit" to any of the puzzles and you don't get killed. The game itself will save at any point and you can pick up where you left off in the game.

The graphics are well done, and you learn a little bit about locations, artifacts, and ancient art along the way. Sometimes the narration between levels gets a little hokey, but it's not a distraction overall.

If you like pure puzzles, this is the one to get.

Summary: Great fun, great challanges!
Review: I've read reviews saying Pandora's Box wasn't aimed at young children, but my 7 YO twins can't get enough of the challanging puzzles in this game. For visual learners, this is a real delight. I wonder sometimes WHOSE young kids reviews are aimed at, because this is definately the best software purchase I've made in years. Most kids software is fun for a few hours, and then is tossed aside. My kids have been playing Pandora's Box for more than a month now, and are nowhere near the end, nor are they bored. They fight over who gets to solve the next puzzle! This is a real winner in our house!
