Cut the Rope Holiday Gift

SCORE: 84

We like to find free apps whenever we can. When they are up to snuff then we put them in the magazine. Chillingo has a Christmas present for their fans this year - Cut the Rope Holiday Gift. If your like me the whole ‘holiday’ word is so confusing. That is not used for other holidays like halloween, Valentines Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and on and on. For some reason companies freak out about using the word Christmas. They are worried they will offend a few people so they change it. Then by changing it they actually offend the super majority. Which is why it makes no sense to me.

Cut the Rope Holiday Gift has a festive feel. There are stockings, and Christmas trees. I was so hoping for a manger but did not find one. The main goal of Cut the Rope Holiday Gift is to feed this green little character(Om Nom). He eats the candy. Dentists will really appreciate the lessons there since it brings them more business. The colors have a soft feel to them that I liked.

I was hoping for some really festive music in Cut the Rope Holiday Gift. Some Go Fish Songs from their Christmas With a Capital “C” album. Or even some traditional songs like Silent Night or Joy to the World. Sadly none of that was present. Cut the Rope Holiday Gift does not even sound festive. The special effect sounds range from okay to mildly annoying.

You can’t beat the price of Cut the Rope Holiday Gift. It is free. All you will lose is the time and bandwidth. There are twenty-five levels in Cut the Rope Holiday Gift. This is a great way to experience Cut the Rope to see if you want to purchase the entire full game. There are three gold stars per level. Cut the Rope Holiday Gift includes a total of seventy-five gold stars. Getting all of the stars can be challenging. Expect Cut the Rope Holiday Gift to offer you the opportunity of purchasing the full version of Cut the Rope.

Cut the Rope Holiday Gift plays very similar to Save Yammi. Players cut the rope to drop the candy. Om Nom wants to eat the candy. There are also things like bubbles, and a rocket. The rocket is one of the coolest little tools in Cut the Rope Holiday Gift. I enjoyed using it in that last level. Cut the Rope Holiday Gift requires some thought from the family member playing it. Children may request assistance from an adult in trying to solve certain levels.

I had fun playing Cut the Rope Holiday Gift. I love the price. The lessons are in low level physics. Cut the Rope Holiday Gift is a game that is safe for the entire family. I hope to see more games in this particular style. Losing the candy produces a little tantrum from Om Nom.
