I was just playing the puzzles in banjo kazooie arcade and they looked mroe fun then this. Can you even upload your own picture and use it as a puzzle? And whats with all these 100 or less piece puzzles? Can I not make one thats 5000 pieces and will take me months to complete?

According to the video, the full version allows you to take photos with the vision camera, and make puzzles that way.

I agree with Richard on this one though... the results may not be pleasant.

Hey, at least its some kind of innovation
the dynamic puzzle picture, AWESOME
btw if you guys didn't know the placing the peice over a picture is an actual method of jigsaw in reality as well...
its all the fun of jigsaw, and none of the mess!
but i agree that it should allow upto 5000 peices or even more

okay okay, im kidding, im not that much in love with this game. but its a little nice to see technology change every little thing. the video puzzle game type thing on surface was pretty amazing.

The Wii does this.. It's easier to control with the Wiimote, and it's in the Photo Channel, so you're free to use whatever pictures you want, and not have to PAY for f'ing pictures to play with. And it's multiplayer..
And.. I might be wrong, but I think it works with movies, too.. Although I've never actually tried sticking a movie on there, so... *shrugs* maybe not..?

Either way, Wii - 1 | 0 - Xbox

(PS, that's not a fanboy type point, although I am one, that's just a "There's better stuff out there, for free" point..)
