First Look: Christmas with Weezer
When Tapulous released Christmas with Weezer [iTunes link] for the iPhone and iPod touch last week, I was pretty excited, as it combined three of my favorite things: Weezer, Christmas music and Tap Tap Revenge.The tough economic climate, stresses over moving two days before I leave for Macworld 2009 and a hectic schedule have given me less holiday cheer than usual, but I'm happy to say, Christmas with Weezer is helping to turn that around.
Christmas with Weezer takes Tap Tap Revenge's addictive format and adds to it some Christmas cheer. Not only do Rivers and company perform a bevy of Christmas classics, the interface is all wrapped up for Christmas.
The Kids Mode is great for anyone starting out with TTR or for kids who want to get in on the fun. Christmas with Weezer also features the multi-tap and tap and hold game elements introduced in the recently released, Tap Tap Dance (iTunes link).
Check out the gallery below. Christmas with Weezer is $4.99 and available in the App Store.

christmas music is one of my least favorite things, but I've been rocking tap tap dance lately and weezer is one of my favorite bands, so I got it - Pork and Beans and The Greatest Man that Ever Lived are featured as "hard" songs. Each of the colors are the colors for the "red," "green," and "blue" albums and the background changes to that color whenever that dot is hit, which is a fun feature.
Tap Tap and Weezer should do a full Tap Tap game like the NIN one, with past stuff to (if possible, dealing with the labels can be hard)
"dance" is great, everyone should get it

I can't decide. Is this the worst app yet, or the pull my finger one?
Weezer? They were good maybe back in 2000........

Actually they were good in 1994 through to 1999. Then Matt Sharp left.

Hmm. They were probably the least good back in 2000. I'd say they're finally hitting a stride again with the latest album.

Not even CLOSE to being the worse app, I have it, it's not all that bad. The songs are catchy, and it's tap tap...so couldn't ask for a whole lot more

Yeah, something like that. Their christmas song sucked though. Any way to delete single tracks from Tap Tap?

Weezer gets more annoying ever time I hear them. Back in 1994 it was good but it sends chills up my back, getting stuck in my neck making very tense. Even hear their name does this. The only thing worse is Christmas music - with the exception of "Oh Come Oh Come Emmanual".
