Well Mr. Achievement and I thought we would serve our public duty and let you all know about Root Beer Tapper. Well, if you look at this game and go, "Hmm...looks like an easy 200/200." You're wrong! Stop right there and don't download it!

Now, I'm not trying to diss the game because it's bad or because I can't beat it; but it really is a hard game. You would think serving out club sodas, collecting tips, and getting points would be easy in this game. It's what we thought; but the way the A.I. is set up it is like they are out to get you. You serve up one line of root beers, go to the next one and the first line is already chucking glasses back at you. So you hurry to fill the row and rush back to the empty glasses, when the row you just served tosess more glasess at you and you can see that they land a split second after you have to get the other ones.

For those of you who haven't played it(and I suggest you don't) the 'gyst' of the game is to fill sodas, toss 'em down the lines, collect tips, and be there to recieve empty bottles.(If you don't they fall off and you lose.)

Now I'm not saying we should boycott the game, but if you like to get achievements and add on to your score with arcade games, this game is just not for you. Now at first it seems fun, but it gets repetitive and old. You're sick of it by the third level. So I suggest to all you achievement lovers to skip over this game and cherish your sacred MS points for another day.

Well now that I have turned most of you away with the first few paragraphs let me turn the rest of you stragglers lose. Multiplayer has to be one of the worst. You would think co-op you could be in the same room and level and actually help each other out. Yet it is just like single player, except you can talk with some one. I suggest that if you want to play and talk, just do single player and send your bud a chat invite.

Graphics: 2/5(It is like an arcade game from the 80's or 90's-nothing next gen about it.)

Gameplay: 1/5(Repetive and boring; VERY DIFFICULT!)

Sound: 1/5(Makes your ears bleed...)

Mulitplayer: 1/5(Do I have to rate it? It deserves a -#.)

Replay Value: 1/5(There really is none.)

Achievement Difficulty:5/5(The only five it gets.)

It looks like an arcade game from the NINETIES? What?

I'm sorry, but you clearly don't know what you're talking about and don't have any sense for gaming history and as such shouldn't review a game like this.

He's right its an arcade classic from the 80's it was released in 1983.

You have to remember though it is just a remake of a 25 year old game so it wont be like gears of war you have to remember that. It's also a good thing it's challenging most arcade games that old are wayyy to easy.

BTW who thinks XBLA is slacking...2 weeks we get Lumines Live dumb updates that you have to pay for and gamer pics for arcade games and the next 2 weeks we get root beer tapper and paperboy. Where's Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid, and others

I don't know. It just sounds like a certain someone thought this would be an easy 200 gamerscore and got ****ed when he found out that the game is actually very hard, and upon finding that out never gave the game the chance it deserves. It actually gets pretty damn fun once you get the hang of it.

Sure, it could've used better controls (faster switching between counters and filling of mugs would've been so much more fun), but it works fairly well the way it is.

Well drog, it seems to me you just enjoy picking posts apart, and quit frankly act like an ass. I suggest that you make your own review if you don't like mine and don't continue to post here if you don't like it.

Drog, you seem to be an angry person who has to start flame wars on the internet. I suggest you grow up and get a life, but you probably don't have one judging from the way you act. So I suggest you go play your favorite game and leave this topic alone.
