ONM: Let's Tap Preview

ONM writes: "A lightning-fast blue hedgehog with a two-tailed fox at his side. A flying jester-type character who lives in a dream world. And now, the world's first controller-free game.

Sega veteran Yuji Naka had a hand in the creation of fan favourites Sonic The Hedgehog and NiGHTS, and he's rightly hailed as one of the most original thinkers ever to grace the videogames industry. But Let's Tap is probably the strangest entry on his CV thus far. As the blunt, self-explanatory title suggests, you place your Wii controller face down on the Let's Tap box and the vibrations from your tapping are then reflected on screen in the various mini-games."

I agree. Those two games were ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz.

La Noire was just a big tech demo for their new facial animations.

L.A Noire was a big disappointment to me. Quite repetitive, boasted one hell of a huuge nicely rendered map that was practically full of nothing to do.

Restrictive gameplay scenarios in how you approach / solve cases. The facial animations is what was amazing, but the rest was a letdown especially with the amount of little things you can do in the game.

Depends on personal preference/choice. I loved Heavy Rain. It was something new and fresh, and I'm glad I played it.

Same goes with LA Noire.

The Wiire: Let's Tap Review

The Wiire writes: "Could A Wii game that you play without touching the Wiimote possibly be fun?

Nintendo claims they are "innovators." With the Wii, the DS and the Dsi, many believe that Nintendo has lived up to their claims. Even with these innovations on the hardware side, there is little argument that there is a lack of innovation in third-party developed software. With a few exceptions in games like Boom Blox, not many games find interesting mechanics besides the basic waggle."
