BlueHeroGaming: Lets Tap hands-on Preview

BlueHeroGaming previewed Let's Tap, which features five tapping games that can be played with up to four friends on the Nintendo Wii console.

It seems that the wii has officially become the home for mini games since it was launched. However, a game like Let's tap is always welcome due to its rather unusual concept. The game works by simply tapping a box with the wii remote on top of it. It will translate different taps into either 2 inputs used throughout many of the mini games available. A brave idea and one which has paid off as it certainly proves to have addictive game play.

The game consists of mini games which as mentioned require accurate tapping to get through them. It is incredibly easy to get into which means just about anyone can grab a box and start tapping.

The visuals in the game are simple but all the colours make it easy to see objectives. For example in the Rhythm Tap Mini game, different taps are represented by a different bright colour making it easy to distinguish them. Each of the mini games has different backgrounds although they all look slightly similar.

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."
