Let’s Tap. It’s a game where you beat on a cardboard box to make things happen on a television screen. If you’re a Wii owner and you’re not down with that, there’s obviously something wrong with you. Sega recently dropped a new trailer (a “Party” trailer, no less) for the game showing a particularly happy family engaging in a rousing gaming session. If they’re having fun, then obviously you will.
OK, I’ll drop the pretense -- this game scares the hell out of me. It even beats voodoo on my list of “things to avoid.” I also don’t like incantations, skulls, frogs, badgers or rhythmic thumping. Sorry, it’s just how I grew up.
Anyway, Lets Tap has a total of FIVE GAME MODES (sorry, my caps lock key was stuck) and you’ll see it on store shelves this summer. I’ll avoid it like the plague -- or a badger -- but you may decide not to after viewing the trailer after the break.
So, what do you guys think? Instant buy? It does ship with a cardboard box, you know.
It's made by Sega and it's only $30 so despite being Wii-casual it has some potential entertainment value. It's also made by Sonic Team (or the creator of Sonic, or something Sonic related) so we'll see if the massive fail of Sonic is due to Sonic Team hating the franchise and attempting to kill it or if Sonic sucks due to a bad team.
For what it is it might be fun. Waiting for reviews though. If it's as fun as Pac-Man Vs. then I'll have to find 3 other Wii remotes next time I have friends over.
I'm not sure if I'll buy this or not. it looks like one of those games that I can bust out when friends come over, but I'm not sure how long that will last. I'll wait until it's released before I condemn it completely, though.

This game deserves to sell. It's something new, which is saying more than 99% of the other casual games on the Wii.
