No dying in this game!

I am sooo pleased with this game! I read the two previous reviews and knew I had to have this game. This is a "no pressure" game. You just work puzzles, like on the table at home. These are brain teaser puzzles. You have to get all the pieces put in a certain way to win the puzzle, and it really helps you to exercise your concentration abilities. There are 150 puzzles, and a cute little blue blob, with pink eye lids, to play with. I am challenged, but not overwhelmed by this game. I highly recomend it! We need more games like this. Not all of us enjoy shooting and fighting and being eaten by things games. I just like to challenge my mind. I play my Gameboy to relax! I love this game! Thankyou for letting us post our reviews. It "does" help!

A Different Sort of Gameboy Game

There are no races against moving objects and things falling on you, no running around bizarre landscapes and buildings gathering objects to complete your mission, and no shooting or fighting. You work the clever puzzles at your own pace to clear the screen, and exercise your brain instead of your thumbs. As you succeed at each level, you move on to the next which is slightly/somewhat more challenging than the one before it. A major plus is the password for each level which lets you resume where you left off or drop back to a previous level if you wish. There is a premise/story behind the game - you have to go through all the levels to save the hero and the world - but it is really irrelevant to actually solving the puzzles. Challenging and fun. And with 150 levels, you definitely get your money's worth. What more could you want?

awesome puzzle game

I am an adult who is addicted to Game Boy strategy games and this is one of the best. It is almost as good as Boxxle which is one of my favorites.The only drawback is that there are only 150 levels. I wish there were more. This game takes a lot of thinking and planning to figure out how to break balloons and make matching blocks disappear. It has a password for each puzzle which is helpful when you need to quit (which I don't do to often). I am on level 110 and will be upset when I reach 150. I hope there is a sequel.

Solar System Floor Puzzle

Great fun! An educational toy your child will love!

This puzzle is very sturdy; not as bendy as most puzzles. My daughter loves putting this puzzle together. She is five and we are learning about the Solar System. I like this toy because after you put it together you can quiz your child on Solar system facts. Ask your child to point out which planet is the largest (Jupiter...although in this puzzle they make earth look larger because of the perspective)Ask him/her which planet is the smallest, which planet is closest to the sun...etc...etc...the learning never ends! There are always new solar system facts you can add into your fun! I strongly recommend this toy as a fun learning tool for you and your child. I really love all the Melissa and Doug products.

classic quality

My boys, 7 1/2 and 5, both enjoy this puzzle immensely. It is very well made and the sturdy pieces are easily put together....no bent edges here. When completed this high quality puzzle depicts a beautiful illustration of the solar system which has sparked their interest in learning about planets, stars, comets, etc....highly recommended!

OUT OF THIS WORLD

My 2 1/2 year old son received this puzzle as a gift. It's been a year now and he still loves it. It's a great family puzzle - and its large pieces are quite durable. Highly recommendable.

Super Value

This is a super value. It includes the four most popular puzzles that children like to play with most. This is a good way to teach children new words to things and to think logically.

Every child should own the best wooden puzzles, and this deal is very hard to beat.

Hours of Fun

I do not have the whole set, I have the number puzzle. However, I have often WISHED I had an alphabet one as well because the number puzzle is both fantastically educational and really fun. It was my daughter's most played with toy from the ages of 15 to 19 months. She learned all of her numbers from this puzzle, and how to turn pieces to fit them in (they fit a little loose so it doesn't have to be just right to go in). She would play by herself with this puzzle for long periods. It was the first thing she asked for in the morning and that is what she would do while I made breakfast. The pieces are very robust and have withstood an enormous amount of sucking and chewing without deteriorating. (The tops of the numbers are sealed in somehow with a shiny coating.) My daughter now adores both numbers and puzzles, and is far ahead of where she should be with both, largely because of her experience with this puzzle. It may look incredibly low-tech, but it has big, easy to handle pieces in bright colours and the pieces are things you hear about every day like 1-2-3. It's hard to beat.

Very Entertaining

My 3 year old grandson and I have put this puzzle together many times, and he hasn't gotten tired of it yet after 3 months of play. At first I had to do a lot of it for him, but he is beginning to do it on his own with a little help from Grandma. The color is great and it is very durable. We like the thick and chunky pieces. I just bought two more Melissa & Doug puzzles recently, because I was impressed with this puzzle. I'm sure my grandson will enjoy the T-Rex puzzle as much as this one, and I know he will be playing with these puzzles for a long time. A satisfied customer. Faribault,MN

Great fun and tough and durable

My 2.5 yr old son loves this puzzle. I help him put it together and he just loves the challenge and the construction equipment. I like how tough the pieces are- they have held up even when stepped on and chewed on by a baby. Very nice!

Great fun for learning!

My 3 year old and 4 year old love the puzzles - even my 6 year old has fun putting them together and playing the games. This is wonderful for motor development as well as helping the kids to learn their ABC's and numbers. Each puzzle has 3 games to play to make learning fun. What a wonderful idea - I hope Leap Frog comes out with more puzzles like these.

Leap Pad puzzles

My 2 year old granddaughter absolutely loves these puzzles! She just can't get enough of counting with Pooh and learning her ABCs with Leap. My daughter and I were excited to see so many more options for the leap pad system.

Dragon Shaped Puzzle

I love this puzzle! It is fun and challenging. I believe that it is a good puzle for anyone who wants a challenge. However I find that there is one problem with it. THERE ARE NO DIMENSIONS TO TELL YOU HOW BIG THE PUZZLE IS AFTER YOU PUT IT TOGRTHER!!! I would appreciate it if dimensions were added to the box. I am sure that anyone else who purchases this puzzle would appreciate it to so that they know if they are going to have to purchase a puzzle mat as well if they order this puzzle. If you like puzzles that are not your everyday puzzle I would recommend that you purchase this puzzle because it would make a worthy addition to any puzzle collection.

a firey wonder

This is an amazing puzzle. The detail and specifics to this puzzle will wonder the mind. It doesn't matter how many times you look at this puzzle or how long you look at it you'll never see the same thing twice. There are so many different ways to look at this amazing puzzle. The creator paid extreme attention to detail and the idea of the old century dragons and the idea that they were the ultimate warriors...You can see everything from castles to soldiers, to many smaller dragons on the inside of this puzzle. If you love dragons or mystical creatures this puzzle is a must have.

Impossibles 750-piece Jigsaw Puzzle: Tee Time

Made by University Games

Amazon base price: $15.99

Average review score:

Impossibles is right!

It took Dad and me like two months to do this puzzle, working on it everyday. And my Dad and I do alot of puzzles. So if you're looking for a really hard puzzle, try this one. It's the hardest puzzle I've ever tried to do.

My only complaints: the pieces are way too flimsy and several of them bent easily, and the five extra pieces were way too obvious.

But it's still a wonderful(and difficult) puzzle.

It really IS impossible

This was the hardest puzzle I've ever seen. I got this puzzle for my mother -- she started it in April and finished after the Fourth of July! It really is a challenge, since you will be working with various pieces of all the tees, with very little to go on, except for various pieces of grass! Definitely a great puzzle for someone who is looking for a serious challenge....

You can't put this one down.

This game is super addictive! If you love to play Tetris this is a game for you. It's a type of Tetris with a fun twist on it. Pieces can come from any side, in any shape and you've got to get them to fit in fast. As pieces connect and fill in, some of them disappear changing the shape in the middle of the screen you are trying to fit the next piece in. It sounds so simple, but it does provide a challenge, especially with the odd shapes and different sizes of game pieces coming at you. Klustar one of those games you can play again and again. I definitely recommend it. =)

A fast-paced challenging game....Tetris turned upside down!

This is a fast-paced challenging game with excelltent graphics. It is totally as addictive as Tetris and even more fun.

Magical Tetris Challenge

Made by Capcom

Age Group: 5 years and up

Classic fast-paced Tetris with a Disney storyline
Race against the other Disney characters in a scavenger hunt for coins
Compete against them in challenging games of Tetris
Many variations of the original game
For 1 player

Amazon base price: $3.68
List price: $29.99 (that's 88% off!)
Used price: $34.00
Buy one from zShops for: $89.95

Some older gamers may be hesitant to try Magical Tetris Challenge, since it is filled with cute Disney characters. That would be a shame, because this happens to be one of the best takes on Tetris we've ever seen.

Mickey Mouse lends his ears to this new version of the classic game, but can also jump right in for a quick game of Tetris in its original form. This game features many clever variations on the tried-and-true Tetris. We recommend going through the game's adventure mode. First, you must choose a Disney character to play. Then, you will race the other cartoon characters in a scavenger hunt for coins that are marked with the number that has been assigned to your character. Most coins can only be collected by winning Tetris matches against other characters, and it's a real race against time to get all the coins you need to win.

Success in the adventure mode grants access to more variations of the standard game--like the ultra-challenging Signal Tetris--and a variety of mind-bending fixed puzzles. Trust us, Magical Tetris Challenge may appeal to kids--but it also holds enough challenge to captivate adult gamers. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Many variations of a classic game
Adventure mode adds a new twist
Devious fixed puzzles are a lot of fun

Cons:

Must conquer the adventure mode before some of the best game variations are accessible from the title screen

This is really fun and can be very addicting

This game is so fun. I usually play in the regular tetris mode and it is very addicting. I like how you can pick a disney character and pick the level of difficulty. This game is great and if you like playing tetris than you will love this game.

A "cute" yet addictive game

This Mickey game, is great for kids and adults. My 7yr. old nephew likes to play in the "quest" mode, where he can play with all the disney char- acters. I, find it hard to put down, while I'm playing regular Tetris! As I get more practice in with my new addiction, the games take longer and longer to play...(ie, your batteries can die in the middle of the game. -- I hate when that happens! ) I recommend this game for "kids" of all ages. I'ts pretty hard to share, so you may need more than one copy!

Murder on the Titanic Puzzle

Made by University Games

Amazon base price: $19.99

There's something for everyone in this: Titanic maniacs get a 1,000-piece puzzle presenting yet one more image of the unsinkable ship before it, well, you know. Romantics get to read a tale of wealthy twin sisters who face love and betrayal on that fateful night in the frigid seas. Mystery buffs get a murder that can only be solved by piecing together clues from both the story and the puzzle. It's a perfect marriage of elements that can keep one or more people involved for days before the big picture, in every sense, is revealed. The handsome box for this package is a real eye pleaser, but don't be fooled by the collage of photographs, jewelry, and a gun on its cover: the image is not the same as the one in the puzzle itself. --Tom Keogh

Average review score:

Enjoyed the puzzle!

I had a great time putting the puzzle together. The puzzle was enjoyable and kept my attention. I couldn't wait to finish the puzzle and "solve" the mystery. I own other mystery jigsaw puzzles like this, and the Titanic puzzle is top on my list.

GREAT PUZZLE!

I put this puzzle together with my best friend when she bought it.We had hours of fun trying to figure it out,along with it's story.It gave us good quality time,and many happy memories.Great for all ages!Adults and children alike.I highly recommend this as a family activity.
