= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Let's Tap (Video Game)

Let's TAP is a simple concept that works, and it is a lot of fun in the process. The game uses your Wiimote as a motion detection device, which you place on a box or some similar object. I used the game case and it worked just fine, but I'm sure there are a variety of other things you can use. As you tap, the vibrations you make shake the controller, which is how the game detects you're tapping. While all the games use this, you can fortunately navigate the menus regularly by picking up the controller or just tap to navigate through them.

The game has 5 modes, all of which are described exactly in the product description. Rhythm Tap is my favorite of the bunch with a decent selection of mostly dance/electronic. While you won't find any recognizable songs in that mode, the selection doesn't disappoint if you like music games. Visualizer is confusing, it seems more for relaxation than an actual game. In that mode, the intensity and pattern of your tapping causes objects to appear when you trigger them. Which is fun to watch as you figure it out, just not something I feel is worth spending a lot of time with.

I think the major obstacle with this game is the concept which is hard to sell when you explain it to others. If the idea of tapping to play sounds pretty foolish, you might find it hard getting into this sort of game. However if you like to try new things, you'll pleasantly be surprised with the mechanics. This game is definitely one you can come back to over and over again for some quick fun. Even though it says "party experience" on the cover, it's still enjoyable as a one player game from what I experienced.

I can't say Let's TAP is the best game out there for the Wii, but it definitely stands out as a solid entry. Especially in comparison to a lot of the other casual party games for the system.

when i first played this game, i had fun, but it was just me..when i took it over my best friends house...all the guys went to the big screen and we stayed on the racing for HOURS!! the racing is by far the best...but the rythmtapping comes in a close second...(like a guitar hero with tapping)...the painting and waterplay and fireworks are cool, and the stack games are cool...the battle takes a minute to get the hang of though...overall...this is an excellent game for groups, very simple and easy to learn, which is a great strength!

This review is from: Let's Tap (Video Game)

Such an innovative and fun title! My friends and I spent hours playing the different game modes and we're obsessed!

Tap Runner is the most straight forward of the modes, but it is still quite creative and highly original, with a clean aesthetic and really terrific level designs.

Alchemist on multiplayer is ridiculously good puzzle fun, especially for anyone who likes Bejeweled or other cascading games. The controls are a little tricky to learn but once you get into it, it's very tense as you race each other to remove chips from your tower without knocking it over.

The beat songs are my favorite part, we all love rhythm games (DDR, Frequency, GH, etc.) and it is SO fun playing with four people. You tap along with songs and the notes are different colors to indicate how hard you should tap, along with some sustained "drumroll" notes. Usually all four players have the same notes, but sometimes they switch it up so there will be call and response between the players or each player will play part of a rhythm. Since you're using different amounts of force, depending on the note (which generally corresponds to the song) your box accordingly makes different sounds, so with four people it starts to sound like "Stomp" in your living room.

Visualizer is fun and gorgeous and there's little secrets that will be revealed as you tap out your own beats...

I think this might be less fun on solo mode, but definitely worth the money as a party game!
