While playing Puzzle Arcade lots of things will go through your mind, but the one thought we couldn't shake was "why are we playing this on a video game console?". For all that Puzzle Arcade does well, especially in terms of presentation, you are solving jigsaw puzzles in a video game, probably on a TV that's too small for the job, while a perfectly good table is in close proximity. Puzzle Arcade might find an audience, but it's very niche.

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.
