This review is from: Jumbo Jigsaw Collection (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

There are 3 major problems with this game. First, when you start a new puzzle, all of the pieces start in the area where you are supposed to assemble the puzzle. It takes too long to move the pieces so that you have an open area. Second, once you move the pieces, there is very little room on the outside of the assembly area to let you sort the pieces. Third, almost all of the pictures are of trees and water, with a floral picture thrown in here and there. Very little variety as far as the pictures. So...save your money!

I found this totally undoable as every time you touch a piece, it gets a shadow behind it making it nearly impossible and there is no place to move the pieces out of the way. I never use it.

I am disappointed in this product. It doesn't have may options, such as only showing the edges of the puzzle and then working the rest or showing the picture in a smaller version. The tips information is not readable. Also there are shodows behind many of the pieces.
