Digital Spy: Let's Tap Review

Digital Spy writes: "You'd be forgiven for thinking that new Wii title Let's Tap was a Nintendo creation, as opposed to the work of their once bitter rivals Sega. So perfectly suited is Let's Tap to Ninty's console that Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto is probably kicking himself for not coming up with the concept. All of the boxes are ticked: innovative controls, minimalist design, mini-games and gameplay so simple that even your granny could give you a run for your money. However, despite containing all of these Nintendo trademarks, numerous Sega conventions are also present: the familiar sounding J-pop/techno soundtrack, abstract visuals, not to mention the whopping great Sega logo on the oversized box."

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."
