    This is a great, cheap way to get your hands on an underappreciated arcade classic.

    For a budget (400 Microsoft points) Xbox Live Arcade title, Root Beer Tapper holds up well; if for no other reason than the amount of replay needed to grab fifty wins over Live.

    The co-op game is rather simplistic: it hardly feels like you're playing with anyone at all, but there are a few Achievements built into it, so at least there is that challenge.

    Quirky, funny and colorful, Root Beer Tapper is both cheeky and challenging and a cheap distraction on a Wednesday night. [Feb 2007, p.101]

    Two-player action(over Live, even)is a nice modern addition, but odds are, you'll feel tapped out after just a few minutes. [Mar 2007, p.81]
