«©NCSX» Ever sit at your desk and drum your fingers on the tabletop with a carefree staccato to break the tedium that is your life? If so, you've already had ample practice in mastering Sega's Let's Tap which is being touted as the first game that doesn't require direct handling of a controller. The basic gist is this: You're supposed to lay the Wii Remote face down on a cardboard box, a plastic slab, or anything else that will undulate when your fingers drum its surface. By tapping steadily, the Wii Remote will pick up the vibrations and register the "hits" as in-game movements for runners, fireworks, colors, water, and other objects in the Let's Tap universe.
One of the best examples of the tapping functionality of the tap games is Tap Runner where rhythmically thumping a surface makes an onscreen runner move. By thumping the surface with a harder thwack, the runner jumps over obstacles. Another tapping mini-game dubbed Bubble Voyager features horizontal shooting action where a red mech shoots thick missiles at objects on screen. Tapping keeps the mech aloft and fires off ordnance. Every copy of the game is bundled with two cardboard boxes which may be used as playing surfaces. Two boxes are included since Let's Tap can be played by two players at once. Sega is thoughtful like that.
