I don't own this, but my sister does and when I was visiting her in GA I got to play it. I am really into the puzzle thing and I loved this game. Not only does it give you the puzzle to build but it gives you clues to find so it seems like more then one game to play. The bonus is all the historical facts you learn on your way thru. I have always loved history so this was one of the best games I have played on the PC. I can't wait to buy Bravarian Castle!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle and gradually increased the difficulty as I grew accustomed to manipulating the pieces and connecting the sides. Having recently visited Notre Dame, I had a ball putting together this puzzle and look forward to trying the others by Wrebbit. Working this puzzle requires a good computer and, as another on-line reviewer noted, frequent saves to prevent lost work. The software taxes the computer memory and sometimes causes crashes. I've updated my machine since playing Notre Dame, so, now that I've ordered Bavarian Castle from Amazon, I'm hoping the new puzzle will be better tolerated by my hardware.
Good luck to all who love a challenge!

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.

I had problems with this game. I chose the beginners' level and put together most of the puzzle only to find some sections missing. I sent Wrebbit an email and got a reply that maybe the missing pieces were under a window on the table. I checked and replied that the pieces were not on the table. It has been two weeks and I have not heard more from Wrebbit.
Also, I found the use of the display to be very poor. I have an XGA screen, which I think is now pretty standard. The program used only a VGA (640 X 480) window in the middle of the screen. To compensate for the lack of screen real estate they have a complicated system of procedures to scroll the small window over the tabletop. It would be much better if they used all of the real estate on the XGA screen and simplified the complicated procedures.

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.

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.
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! :)
