Engrossing puzzle play makes Passage 3 Christmas Edition worth your time. Essentially, it breaks out the Clear mode from the full version of Passage 3, then dresses it up with Christmas images and music. As with the original game, each tile you place must match all of its neighbors in color (red, yellow, blue, orange, green, and purple) or picture. You start with 30 credits, losing some each time you place a tile incorrectly or discard a usable tile. The aim of this version is to remove designated tiles by filling up an entire row or column to form passages. The game ends after 45 minutes, but you can play as many games as you wish. The settings don't let you adjust the volume of the music and audio, which meant we had to turn off the MIDI carols instead of just turning down the volume. Other than that, Passage 3 Christmas Edition serves as an enjoyable stand-alone game, as well as a tempting free sample of the full game.Publisher's description
From GEKKO Software :This is the Christmas version of the game Passage 3, a game styled after dominoes, Tetris, solitaire, and Scrabble. The player places the tiles on the board according to a certain pattern. Tiles played must match the neighboring tiles in color or symbol. Version 2.6 features accelerated display routines for many systems; completely new Internet access routines for high-score upload and download; and significantly lower CPU load during the game when using Windows XP to avoid heat problems on very fast PCs.

Version: Passage 3 Christmas Edition 2.62
"I was only trying it, when it arrives to the end of it"
Pros: not many, but it doesn't let go farther to try it and see result compared with the old one. May be good, but 5 or 6 levels don't invite me to buy.
Cons: I like much better the one before.

Version: Passage 3 Christmas Edition 2.62
Pros: Many different tiles to work with, hard to try to think steps ahead. A real challenge
Cons: Could not stand the error voice. Grated on my nerves.
Summary: Paused a bit once in a while, slightly aggravating. Quite challenging. Especially liked the idea of a few different playing options.
