I like the idea of playing a game just by tapping since I tend to tap on my desk all the time. I might as well trying it in game format.  I got the game from GameFly yesterday and I sent it back this morning. It was at my house less than 24 hours. I tried 3 separate times play it and I just cannot.  No matter how lightly I tap it keeps registering a &#8220;Hard&#8221; tap which makes many of the games unplayable.  I tried every box I could find in my house; shoe box, kleenex box, cereal box, and even a diaper box.  All of them I had the same issue.  The game has a setting for the tap strength which I adjusted as far as the slider goes but it did not help enough to make a difference.  The game has 5 different mini games and I can&#8217;t beat the first level of any of them. Gaming is suppose to be fun and fighting with the core controls of the game is not.  So, after a third try today I gave up and sent it back to GameFly.  It is a shame too because it looked like some of the mini games, especially the rhythm game, could be really fun.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 480px;\"><object id=\"gtembed\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"450\" height=\"372\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.gametrailers.com\/remote_wrap.php?mid=41446\" \/><param name=\"name\" value=\"gtembed\" \/><param name=\"align\" value=\"middle\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided after seeing the trailer for Let&#8217;s Tap to give it a try.
