Let's Tap

Making a game that ignores the Wii remote's motion-sensing abilities is a bold move, and one that verges on foolhardiness. But that is what Let's Tap does, and it's certainly different.

It offers a selection of mini-games, which you negotiate by placing the Wii Remote face down on a flat surface, then ­rhythmically tapping that surface with varying degrees of pressure. Some of Let's Tap's games are fun: they include a running-and-jumping racer, a Guitar Hero-style game and an interesting take on Jenga. But some miss the mark.

A collection of curiosities called the Visualiser – which lets you paint, launch fireworks and catch balls in glasses by tapping – highlights Let's Tap's quirky nature, and it lets four people compete against each other. An interesting idea, but its execution is a bit hit-or-miss, and we have concerns about its longevity once the novelty dissipates.
