Fun to play. Labyrinth has 3D look. Colors are bright. The finished picture is upside down in box. This is distracting and should be fixed.

I recommend this game!

I'm a puzzle geek at heart, my favorite genre is and always has bee Jigsaw Puzzles, and I love a good Mosaic puzzle as long as they are solved logically rather than making you guess or use a bonus of some kind.

Lately, I haven't enjoyed World's Greatest Cities Mosaic games because of the Mysterylands mosaics, but mostly the Labyrinth style Mosaics because they are so basic and so easily ...Show more

Lately, I haven't enjoyed World's Greatest Cities Mosaic games because of the Mysterylands mosaics, but mostly the Labyrinth style Mosaics because they are so basic and so easily solved, yet it's easy to make a "visual" mistake simply because the cells all blend together. This is just a personal preference, but as far as the Multi-colored Mosaics go, they are top-notched, logic-based griddlers.

The main feature of this series is that they take you to the World's Greatest Cities and tell you some interesting facts about the city you are visiting. You can play in a Casual, Normal or Expert difficulty mode, or you can customize the difficulty mode by choosing if you want to play in a timed mode, if you want bonus points as a time bonus, whether you want numbers crossed off one by one or only when the entire row has been completed, and you can set the number of mistakes allowed from 1-5 and how long it takes for the hint feature to recharge from 30-120 seconds.

The controversial Segment Length Checker feature has returned, (first offered on WGCM #7) but I actually like this feature, especially when solving a larger grid. You can turn it on or off, by clicking the round circle on the left-hand side, but when it's on, it shows you how many cells there are in both the column and row (with directional arrows so you won't get confused) some reviewers love it, others hate it but if you don't want the intrusiveness, you can always turn it off.

There are 3 different types of Mosaics offered in this version:
*Traditional (multi-colored) which has different colors to switch between to help you solve the puzzle. In some of the puzzles, some sections may be locked, requiring you to complete a different color to unlock those sections.
*Mystery Lands which fills in each cell with 3 different kinds of pictures that when complete forms a beautiful scene, often with swimming fish, turtles, boats and even ants and bugs crawling around on the lawn.
*Labyrinth Game is similar to Mystery Lands, but after completing the puzzle, you guide a ball through the maze from point A to B by clicking on intersections of the maze.

You can choose between 10 different Tilesets by clicking on the arrow at the very bottom of the right-hand side (I believe it is located under the ?Hint icon) but I didn't notice any new features this time around. As I stated earlier, the filled-in cells on some of the Mystery Lands and Labyrinth style mosaics are very similar and it can make it difficult at times to tell where one color left off and the other begins, and it's easy to make a mistake.
