I've always been a jigsaw puzzle junkie, the bigger the better, and I have a hard time pulling myself away from a puzzle until it's been completed. I prefer the good old fashioned physical jigsaw puzzles, but sometimes virtual puzzles are more practical.

The puzzles offered in Holiday Jigsaw Christmas 4 (as well as Christmas 1-2-3 and Thanksgiving Day 1 & 2 etc.) just aren't that appealing to me, mostly because all of the pictures are staged and unappealing. What I mean by staged, is that the photographer takes a few Christmas themed objects, and places them on a background perfectly aligned, such as two cups of hot cocoa next to a plate of Christmas cookies. I like pictures of animals or beautiful sceneries, and all this puzzle has to offer is food and family type pictures. That's all good if you're into that type of puzzle, but I prefer the pictures that are offered in Earth Chronicles puzzles, which has twice as ,any puzzles.

There are 100 puzzles available in each of the 5 categories, Decorations, Winter, Family, Treats and Presents. Any puzzle can be modified with the amount of pieces you want, the style of cut and whether or not you want the pieces to rotate.

There are several tools available, you can choose to ghost the image of the puzzle on the background, or have a real picture shown in three different sizes. There is a Magnifying glass and a Hint icon, you can use the Border only option or the Sort option, and you can store extra pieces in the box until you have more room. Who knows, maybe next year's version will have better pictures, but I doubt this series will ever change. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

You would think that after three previous versions of the Holiday Jigsaw Christmas puzzle games (and getting not-so-good reviews), that the developer '8FLOOR GAMES', would know that we are tired of:

OLD PUZZLES
EXACT REPLICAS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS
SAME OPTIONS/SETTINGS
SAME BASIC MUSIC

And that we want our Holiday puzzle games to be:

You would think that after three previous versions of the Holiday Jigsaw Christmas puzzle games (and getting not-so-good reviews), that the developer '8FLOOR GAMES', would know that we are tired of:

OLD PUZZLES
EXACT REPLICAS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS
SAME OPTIONS/SETTINGS
SAME BASIC MUSIC

And that we want our Holiday puzzle games to be:

NEW
A GOOD VARIETY OF PUZZLES
ENJOYMENT & FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
MUSIC THAT MATCHES THE THEME (and not necessarily music that you hear in an elevator)

If you've played any of the previous versions from any of the other Holiday Jigsaw puzzles, then you know that you are given five categories for which to choose from. In this game, you are given the following:

DECORATION
WINTER
FAMILY
TREATS
PRESENTS

You also get the same settings/options, but I won't go into detail, as other reviewers probably will. Under options, you get the following: magnifying glass, ghost, image, border, hint, and sort. Under options, you get the following: music and sound volume, and choice of background colors: pink, green, blue, or off-white.

If you happen to have an extra FREE game token lying around the house, and the date is about to expire, then MAYBE you might want to use it on this game. If not, and you've played Holiday Jigsaw Christmas puzzle 1, 2, or 3, then you probably won't be purchasing this one, as it is exactly the same. Show less
