Let's Tap (Wii)

By Steve Wollaston on Jun 29, 09 10:23 PM

Odd... that's the best way to describe this game, but oddly compelling.

The basic of this game is to place your Wii Remote on a small cardboard box and tap your fingers. That's it. That's all the controls you need. Nothing more nothing less.

You even get the carboard box supplied to tap on!

Four players can go head-to-head in what is essentially a party game compilation which has 5 great game modes Tap Runner, Silent Blocks, Rhythm Tap, Bubble Voyager and Visualiser.

Each one provides a different challenge and different depths. The Rhythm Tap has sixteen songs, there are sixteen tracks for Tap Runner and much more.

The modes are great fun, this is the perfect pick up and play game for those family nights, multiplayer is perfect for a good laugh and competitive gameplay.

The game revels in it's simplicity, the lack of any real controls is genius and another example of Sega and Nintendo pushing the boundaries and trying different things.

My kids love Let's Tap, and I personally approved of the game trying to think outside the box.

Ok you will play far more sophisticated titles than this, but you will pick this up again and again due to it's niche brilliance.

This is innovative and it's also just £24.99 - not bad at all.

Get tapping!
