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

Planet Xbox 360
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.

Games Radar
At only 400 MS points, it’s a great buy if you’re looking for a pick-up-and-play time killer while you wait for those gigantic files to download on Live Marketplace.

Game Chronicles
This is a great, inexpensive game if you’re a fan, but it won’t hold much lasting appeal to most people for very long. Personally I need to have many drinks in me to enjoy playing Tapper for more than 10 minutes at a time. Not root beer, but real beer.

Give it five minutes and Root Beer Tapper can lead to hours of enjoyment. [Issue #23, p.72]

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]

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

It’s one of those games that you can show to people who were alive when the original was released, and it might be fun to toy around with for an hour or so, but that’s all the life you’ll get out of the game, even with the Xbox Live support thrown in.

It stops being fun alarmingly quickly.

Mind-numbingly boring. [Issue#23, p.97]
