The remote nicely registers the tapping on te box so there's little to discuss about the controls. The original use of the motion-sensitive controllers offers also a fresh wind in the genre of minigames. In the end, that's what Let's Tap is: a collection of minigames, and that's five of them. Luckily the game doesn't cost more than 20 euros and you even get two cardboard boxes with that for free!

Most fun in the package is Tap Runner where up to four players (AI or human opponents) you have to make a charmingly animated guy run, sling, glide and jump over a track. There's sixteen tracks in total which should occupy you for some time and depending on your achievements you can even earn a couple of medals. Nice is the fact that you'll be urged to tap faster and harder (as you want to win of course) and this will result in you making more errors and getting behind. It all comes down to remaining focused and concentrated. Really something funny to play with friends that like a bit of competition.

Rhythm Tap, the second game, asks you to tap along with music that scrolls over your screen. A bit like we've seen in other games but unfortunately the 16 numbers aren't classics as we're used from other music games and also the challenge isn't that hard. Fun and something less experienced gamers will appreciate but not deep nor immersive enough to play more than a couple of times with occasional visitors.

Bubble Voyager is a 2D shooter where you need to navigate through environments filled with enemies and obstacles. Steering is done by tapping and firing by tapping harder. The controls are original but there are so many better versions of this type of games (even free on the internet) that in the end it's a disappointing piece of software. There's also a multiplayer mode but also this didn't offer much depth.

The fourth part, Silent Blocks, is a puzzle game where you need to remove discs from a pile by tapping gently. If you're not careful enough you risk collpasing your tower. By combining discs of the same color you get bigger pieces that bring in more points. As you progress more colors are introduced and things become more fun. Together with Tap Runner the game that will no doubt be played the most.

The last part of the package can't really be called a game. The Visualizer mode is kinda hard to describe but it comes down to tapping around and created fireworks, having water wrinkle or splashing paint on a canvas. It's at times nice to relax a bit with it but you won't remain occupied with it for long.

Before concluding I want to say that the graphical style of Let's Tap deserves a specific mentioning. Although the game clearly aim for family fun without having too much pretence Sega put some effort to deliver an interesting presentation. The abstract surroundings, the colorful visuals that remind of games like Rez, combined with a lot of charm, good animations and a clear interface make for a unique game.
