Puzzle Arcade is a game that IGN would definitely recommend downloading the trial before ponying up any cash. Even with a good number of modes and solid controls, Puzzle Arcade can't offer the same sense of accomplishment that doing a real jigsaw puzzle provides. It doesn't help that you can just hop on the web and find any number of free jigsaw puzzle games to toy around with at a moment's notice.

Digital Battle writes: "You'd never think that jigsaw puzzles could make for good console gaming, but the sheer fact that Puzzle Arcade exists on Xbox Live Arcade is all the proof anyone could need. And you too can experience this proof for eight hundred Microsoft points."
Redundent. Pointless. And other words meaning 'Serves no known or useful purpose'.
Not a bad virtual puzzle title, but the real thing simply can't be beat and this lacks the 'fun' factor that is so needed in arcade titles. An admirable attempt, but GamePlanet just can't recommend this one.
