Must have the CD in the drive

I detest games like this that require I mount the CD in the drive. Especially when those games are published by companies with big agendas for laptops and other small devices that DON'T HAVE CD DRIVES! And even if I did have a drive, why should I have to go fetch the CD when I want to play the game? HELLO? I might be on the road? Why did I purchase that 60 GB Hard Drive? So that I would keep my stuff in a bunch of CDs? HELLO ??? Or, maybe this game is so overwhelmingly important that I should dedicate my CD drive to it. HELLO?

Annoyware? Infuriateware? How about boycottware? The only way to teach companies to stop this infantile attempt at antipiracy is to Not Buy Games That Require the CD in the Drive.

Don't buy it unless you want to shuffle CDs every time you want to play it. Don't buy it if your laptop doesn't have a CD drive.

I'm not even going to address the quality of the game.

Unbelievably bad!!!!!

UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read the reviews before I purchased this game. I CAN"T believe how boring this game is. Puzzles are simple to solve and the story line is cheezy!!! I am a puzzle game addict. This one, unfortunately, will be used as a coaster.!

no good

Neither the orignal or the replacement worked and I have returned both. I have yet to receive a refund of my purchse, which also included another game, which didn't work in a completely different way. The fact that the games don't show up on my account as a purchase, which I suppose is because I used 1 click shopping for the first and last time, makes it worse. All I know is its awfully hard to make contact or get satisfaction, when the computer does'nt acknowledge the purchase. Even cotacting by e-mail is made difficult by the redundant pre formed responses by the automated customer service. By the way , I'm running XP pro on an athlon 64 bit processor, and every other game I've purchased have worked.

EXCELLENT!

This games is fun, challenging and it shows you the world! It takes much skill and thought, especially at the upper levels. But the neatest thing about this games is that you get to see works of art, architecture and pictures of exotic and historical places all over the world. Very educational and fun!

If you love puzzles then this is a must!

I don't like most computer games. I only like word games and puzzle games. This is the ultimate puzzle game. Although many of the puzzles are in the same style the become increasingly more and more difficult as you progress through the game. And as a bonus even if you haven't played for a while it is still fun to go back and try them all again. HINT: If you find the piece early go back and solve all the puzzles. Every 10 puzzles you solve you get a reward and as the puzzles get harder you will need all the help you can get!

Excellent puzzle game

This game is a steal for just $10. The puzzles are interesting and consist of piecing together art or sculptures from around the world, using about 6 different types of puzzle varieties. Some puzzles are simple and involve moving picture pieces around until they match up, others are more complex involving "strips" of pictures to be assembled together, or filling in colors to identify certain items from pictures (not as easy as it sounds).. I found the variety of puzzles really kept things interesting. And the exotic music that accompanies the puzzles is fantastic- it varies according to each locale and really adds a great dimension to the game. There's also an overriding mythical story to the game which adds a nice touch, so it doesn't feel like one is just endlessly solving puzzles without a goal. Hoping they will make a Pandora's Box 2 sometime!

FUN!!

Wonderful group of puzzles. Graduated difficulty levels of different kinds of visual puzzles, most of which are variations of jigsaws. I have played almost daily for over a year now and still love it.

This game is not at all new and you can't get new puzzles for it BUT if you like puzzle games this is by far the best on the marked. And it comes with lots of puzzles. I have installed and uninstalled it numerous times - because of the number of puzzles it is "new" again after a few weeks. All pictures are suitable for kids too!
