Here

"It might seem slight, if not slightly ridiculous, but there's something utterly joyous about Let's Tap - from its deliriously captivating aesthetic (frankly worth the asking price alone) and stripped down arcade fundamentals to its immediately accessible, and surprisingly robust, control scheme. All of which add up to make one of the most downright entertaining and refreshing party experiences available on the Wii. No, it's not a game that's going to keep you enthralled for hours at a time but it's been expertly honed for occasional impromptu multiplayer giggles - and given the sub-20-quid price point in most retail outlets, you can hardly ask for more."

Another solid Wii exclusive for 2009.

*thumbs up*

I stopped buying 'party games' after Warioware Smooth moves.

I haven't needed another.

Good score. Not a fan of party games, though.

I understand, though Let's Tap look's pretty unique, thats why I've had my eye on it for a bit. Also, its only about $34 here in Canada... but it comes without the box :(

I meant main dish as in all of gaming DireToad. Even then, yes the Wii has its own main dishes. It must be hurting you for sure, i mean every week, the Wii is becoming harder and harder to randomly bash.

I smell rare niche minor-cult- title.

It will be hunted down on the interwebs a few years from now at high prices, since no-ones buying it now.

Sweet! Picking it up after I get off. I had faith in Yuji Naka. And it's only $30. While not deep, it looks unique and fun.

There has been other games in between the AA. It's not like every game is expect to be a AA game. Where are the reviews for conduit anyways. That game comes out like in a week. I have been seeing adds like crazy on Cartoon network.

The game looks like crap, I watched the Giantbomb video and I'm shocked that this got such a high score. Probably has something to do with costing 20 bucks.

I know, but I thought it was a 60 buck game, if it was it wouldn't have gotten such a high review.

1. no wii game is 60 bucks unlike the so called over priced HD games 2. lol @ your claim... the best game i played on 360 last year was hands down braid.. and the second best was sf2 HD edition.. so you are saying i should shun those games because they are not 60 dollars but 15 dollars...

I agree that "hd games" are overpriced...but Wii games are not? The budgets for Wii games, I would guess, are anywhere close to the budgets of the "hd games", and yet they are only $10 dollars cheaper. Most last gen games, which are compareable to the Wii (budgets, I'm not calling the Wii last gen) start off at $30 and $40. I don't get why Wii games are still being priced at $50.

:| I live in Canada, Wii games do indeed cost $60. We all live in different regions, think about that before you post so aggressively on a price issue. As for your other part, why are you responding to poorly structured bait? Who cares if he thinks that, not our problem.

The game also got good reviews from Eurogamer, EDGE, 1up, Games Radar, Nintendo Power, Official Nintendo Magazine, N Gamer, and a few other sources. It's Yuji Naka. That's all I needed to hear.
