This 3D jigsaw puzzle game is the fifth in the series and last one released. It's a cut down version of the previous games, far less meaty, so it doesn't have as much to offer. There is a useful tutorial to complete to introduce you to the mechanics of the game. There are also the usual 4 tiers of difficulty but this time the levels range from 85 pieces at the easiest level up to 258 for the most difficult level - this can be compared with approximately 250 and 700-900 pieces respectively for the other games. It lacks the mystery story component that has accompanied other titles. Instead of being welcomed by one of the story characters and getting snippets of the action as you progress, in this game you are immediately placed in the jigsaw screen and invited to start sorting and linking pieces together. This exploration involves wandering through a few rooms and inspecting a range of Kinkade paintings, some of which can be scrolled to reveal even more. There are a few activities including adding coloured paints to one, degrees of light and shade to another, and three of them divide up into pieces and give you plenty of practice at sliding tile puzzles. A large composite puzzle also displays small cut out sections taken from the various paintings in the house, and you are challenged to identify which painting each one belongs to by adding the painting title beneath the relevant extract. |
