NWR: Let's Tap Preview

NWR writes: "Let's Tap is a game that has garnered a lot of attention from fans and the gaming media alike. In addition to having a quirky sense of humor and a funky rhythm, Let's Tap also features an innovative method of Wii control.

To play, you place the Wii Remote face-down and flat on a hard and stable surface. The game then requires you to tap the surface left or right, and the Wii remote will pick up on the hits made by the player. You don't use or move the Wii Remote at all or hit any buttons; you just tap. This control scheme proved to be unique enough to create more than one game based on the idea."

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."
