Let's Tap to the finish line

With this trailer, Sega has managed to pull our attention away from the "Rhythm Tap" mode in Let's Tap just long enough to notice one of the other games. The "Tap Runner" mode here is unusual, and not just because you play it by slapping a flat surface. There really aren't that many side-scrolling platformer racing games these days, outside of this, Sonic Rivals and -- kind of -- Metro-Cross. And Metro-Cross is hardly from "these days."

Let's Tap's multiplayer racing looks like it could be enjoyable even if played by holding stuff. Like everything else in this game, the appeal is merely magnified by the novelty of being able to play without any stuff to hold.

Am I really the only person that's going to buy this?

It looks interesting. I'll give it a rent at the least.

I will be buying it as well. I actually have it on preorder.

Cool, but, were those coms the whole time? I mean, multiplayer could have some appeal, but how would it be done when you can race ahead and lose sight? Split screen mayhaps? Or did I miss a wifi announcement?

The tapping controls make me raise an eyebrow. Multiplayer, for instance, is most likely going to be played in front of a tv with a coffee table of some sort in front of it. If 3 or 4 people all have their remotes on the table and start tapping, won't that screw up the controls?
