It Has Been A Long, Long Wait
I was so thrilled to see this new addition to the 1001 Earth Chronicles series, It will be added to my collection, I own and love them all immensely. The pictures are always gorgeous, always an interesting variety. My favorites are the animals and birds.
This set has seven boxes and they are categorized by subject which I really like. 1) Animals 2) Birds 3) Scenery 4) Flowers and Trees 5) Aquatic and marine life, lakes, ocean views 6) Exotic spices and fruits, colorful foods 7) Native costumes of various countries, colorful buildings, statues, very few people and they are not in silly poses as in other puzzles which I probably can't mention here. But we puzzle lovers know who they are, don't we?!!
The 4 background colors this time are just a bit different than the Chronicles previous, and I really like the soft, new colors. There is a good variety of helpful tools as always. The image of puzzle adjusts to 3 sizes and can be moved around your picture if you need that for help, right click to rotate pieces, pieces can fasten to table, difficulty level depending on how many or few pieces you choose to assemble. Box for sorting out pieces for later use, custom cursor which is just slightly larger version of the normal one. I don't believe the music has changed from the other chronicles, but it provides volume controls.
The images are all very beautiful. I love the ship in the bottle. The colors of each puzzle are nice and bright, I think the colors in Boxes 1 and 2 are especially stunning.
The end of the trial sneaked up on me. I was making slow progress on an animal puzzle. Rotating the pieces was challenging for me and turned me into a slow-poke. But that's what I really like, the harder, the better. I glow with a sense of accomplishment when it is all finished without cheating. Fun, fun, fun!!!
If you are a puzzle nut or geek like myself and another reviewer I know of (we share the same frustrations), I believe you won't be disappointed with this fine collection. For the first time in far too long, I actually have no complaints and plan on diving into hundreds of hours of geeky delight. Just how many pots of coffee is that, anyway?

Basic and repetetive
Beautiful pictures, -some even stunning. So with the number of different pics earned them +1 star.
But then on to the downside, and I could make a long list, but someone else beat me to it. :) So I just narrow it down:
Just lack of options. More sorting boxes would be nice. Moving sorting box would also be nice, as it blocks most of the picture.
Music... tho calming-ish, it's dare I say annoying after a few minutes. I'd like to have an option to see which pictures I've done with a medal (w.e) on front. Etc
Good effort, not good enough. I'll go back to my Ravensburger jigsaw now.

I'M GIVING THEM AN EXTRA STAR ONLY BECAUSE THE PICTURES ARE REALLY PRETTY
As you probably already know, I am a Jigsaw Puzzle Geek, and I used to be a huge fan of the puzzle games offered by this developer. In the beginning, they were new to me, but I caught on to the fact they never change anything but the title. If you haven't purchased any of their puzzle games, this will be an amazing game for novice puzzle geeks, but not for those wanting a challenge, larger puzzles, or customizable features, because there aren't any of those things here! The BF synopsis claims that there are optional game difficulty modes but other than being able to modify a puzzle, I saw no difficulty mode options.
The same features are available once again, but I wasn't expecting anything different from this developer anyway. There is a box to store extra pieces, you can post an image of the picture and chose the size of x1, x2 or x3, or you can ghost the image on the background. There's an available magnifying glass and a hint feature as well as an auto-sort button and border pieces only. You can change the color of the background to pink, green, blue or gray, and any puzzle will be saved if you click that option upon exiting the game. There are also Trophy achievements to earn for completing various tasks and a High Scores leaderboard.
Any Puzzle can be modified with Size options, puzzle shape options and whether or not you want the pieces to rotate. There are 7 different Boxes or categories, Animals, Birds, Flowers, Sea Life, Food and People from around the world. Each category or box has 143 different puzzles for a total of 1001 different puzzles.
In case there's a slim chance that 8 Floor reads these reviews, I'll list a few of my complaints. If they would simply change a few options, I'd be elated to give them 5-Stars once again.
*The music: it's always the same, not just with Earth Chronicles, but with every game they offer, perhaps a second option would be nice.
*The Sort option: the sort option will "sort" the puzzle pieces according to the area they belong. To me, that's practically doing the puzzle for me, when I assemble a real jigsaw (and virtual) I sort the pieces by color and arrange them neatly on the outside of the border, making sure none of them overlap. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to have a few different sorting options, perhaps one that lines the puzzle pieces up in rows, one that sorts shapes of puzzle pieces and one that sorts by color, as well as what's available now.
*The Background colors: are somewhat too dark with certain puzzles, perhaps being able to adjust the intensity of the background colors.
*Screensavers: I don't understand why there's never an option to save these pictures to your computer to actually enjoy??? You complete a puzzle, the puzzle gives you a quickie glance and seconds later, the statistics of the completed puzzle takes over the screen.
*Larger sizes: even when you modify a puzzle, the largest you can hope for is on average about 250 pieces. There are so many puzzle games out there that offer larger puzzles and features that people actually want.
The pictures themselves are getting better, clearer and more beautiful, but the features are so basic and so predictable that the beauty of the pictures simply isn't enough, please 8 Floor, please rise to the occasion :)

Same as the first 4 versions
I have played a couple of the previous games in this series and found them to be rather easy. Game play was also a bit frustrating because I had to click some of the pieces 2 or 3 times to drag them. You also have to put each piece EXACTLY in it's correct millimeter of space or it won't stay put.
Features remained exactly the same: You can pull up the finished photo to put in the background. You can bring up just the border pieces, etc.
Finally, as with a lot of these game developers, if you've played one of their games then you have played them all. It's sad a developer can't come up with new music or a new feature especially when they're on their 5th game in the series.
I love jigsaw puzzles but there are better ones than this out there.
