Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This game lets you create challenging, personalized jigsaw puzzles from your own photo collection. The straightforward interface and step-by-step wizards make constructing a jigsaw puzzle a quick and pain-free process. On the other hand, solving a puzzle can be as difficult as you'd like, as you can set the number and size of pieces, as well as choose from angular, jagged, wavy, or traditional piece styles.
However, since the trial version won't let you save your progress, many users may elect simplicity. The included MIDI music is probably intended as a plus, but we found it unenjoyable and distracting and were glad we had the option to disable it. If you don't feel like creating your own puzzle, you can elect to assemble one of the few predesigned templates. Fans of traditional jigsaw puzzles will likely find this game entertaining.
Publisher's description
From Inertia Software :Jigsaw Mania is a jigsaw puzzle game for the PC. As well as including over 600 high quality puzzles, Jigsaw Mania can also create puzzles easily from any picture with a wide range of options such as altering the number of pieces and changing the piece shape/size. In addition to this, Jigsaw Mania allows you to "Gift-wrap" jigsaw puzzles into self-contained executable files which you can then email to someone who doesn't have Jigsaw Mania. So for example, you could create a puzzle from a holiday snap, gift-wrap it and then email it automatically to a friend or family member. Jigsaw Mania makes the whole process simple and easy to understand. With over 600 puzzles included plus the ability to make and send your own, Jigsaw Mania offers an outstanding set of features, and endless hours of enjoyment for your entire family.

Version: Jigsaw Mania 2.13
"5 minute trial not long enough"
Pros: It was free.
Cons: My trial period was 5 minutes after I finished downloading the puzzles. I had to scroll down the screen to see more puzzle pieces even on the smallest piece setting.
Summary: Not worth the time to download from what I could tell, but with a 5 minute trial, how could I know whether or not I could fiddle with it to make it like I want it? Others probably loved the wierdly shaped pieces, I didn't, but then I didn't have TI... read more >>

Version: Jigsaw Mania 2.13
"To be able to make your own is fantastic!"
Pros: The jigsaws are good but to be able to turn photos of your pictures into jigsaws is amazing!!!!
Cons: There is not a vast amount of pictures and some are not very challeging.
Summary: I have been using this game on and off for over 4 years now, although I feel that the pictures could be of a better variety and not just american style photos, I like the fact that my children can play on this game without the hastle of getting a ji... read more >>
