Warning: This game was fun until it produced the dreaded "This program has performed an illegal operation..." and aborted. Puzz3D's support technician had no answers. Other 3D games run fine, only this one is unplayable. (My OS is Win98).

I had a lot of fun building the castle, but when I went inside I kept running out of memory and it would crash. I assigned it more than enough to run according to the system requirements, but it still quits. Maybe I am the only one with this problem, but if you want to play this game, I would suggest having enough memory to hold the Library of Congress. I leave you with this final thought: SAVE OFTEN!
Addictive for sure

My husband said that I was addicted when building Notre Dame and I agree that I was. Not only is this great fun but educational. I had not quite completed the Platinum level when we went to England. I found myself enjoying going through the big cathedrals there and was more curious about them because I had built Notre Dame. I don't think I would have found the cathedrals quite so interesting if I had not done this puzzle. I recently just finished the platinum level but did have to go to Wrebbit site and and get the final clue to free Esmeralda. The puzzle clues change on every level. What you find in the first is not in the same place on the last. Now I'm going to try Victorian Mansion.
Not worth the effort

I really enjoyed this game until I completed the first level and could not continue. I kept receiving an error message and the game would shut down. I ended up wasting money on a game that I can no longer play. I would like to say that if there is a chance of this happening to anyone else I would advice them not to purchase this game. Finishing the first level isn't worth the price of the game.
Fun, yet frustrating

I just finished the puzzle, and the exploration inside Notre Dame. My biggest suggestion is to SAVE often! It may have just been my Win95 computer but on two different occaisions, I lost all my work when the program caused an error and had to shut itself down. I would also suggest that you do the master level before going inside the cathedral with the key. If not, any of the puzzles you solve will not be solved on the next level. To save yourself the heartache of having to redo everything, wait until you are a master builder. Other than that, have fun! :)

I have not been able to travel to Germany yet, but on my first visit I want to see the Neuschwanstein Castle. This video game was a dream come true. It is a challenging puzzle, but once you have finished the most difficult level, you can continue to enjoy again and again the beautiful vistas inside and outside the castle. I put it in often, the game is like bringing an art museum inside your home.
Great game

For those of you who are puzzle geeks like me, this is an innovative twist on jigsaw puzzles. You can learn how the game works on the beginner level and work through 4 total levels. Exploring the castle is really cool, but finding the missing sword pieces will make you crazy. My only complaint is that you can't control the viewing zoom level on the pieces. Still worth the time. I plan to buy all of the editions.
Great puzzle fun

I loved this game, and would highly recommend it to puzzle lovers. The mystery inside the mansion isn't that great, though. The film clips were like watching a bad soap opera, and the clues were vague. Just buy the software for the puzzle, and you won't be disappointed. It will consume hours, and all of the pieces are there.
Best 3D Puzzle Game yet

Despite previous reviews stating that there was a problem with the program requiring a patch, I purchased the program to play with my kids. At the easiest level it took us some time to get the hang of the game but eventually we completed building the mansion. Once we tried to enter the mansion however, the program closed citing "illegal operation". I attempted to get the patch from Wrebbit only to find that it has been purchased by Hasbro, and Hasbro will provide no support as the game is discontinued. Hasbro will provide Wrebbit's phone number in Canada, but when contacted by telephone, Wrebbit customer service sends customers to a website that no longer exists (and they know it), claiming there are no other options. A major disappointment all around.
