My thoughts on Helix.
It's my first Wiiware game, and I will say it's definately worth ten bucks. I haven't had long sessions with it yet, but while sitting here at work I am looking forward to play it once I get home.
It's pretty simple really, watch the Helix model make moves and then replicate them in a timely fashion. The easy mode is fairly easy, the medium mode is just right, where with practice you probably could perfect it, and the hard mode I have yet to complete a song (but I was close). The fun in the title lies with three things. 1. People watching you play hard difficulty moving around in laughable speed only to see you fail. 2. The movement makes you feel good (as most exercises do) especially when timing complicated sets of move just right. 3. A pretty fun mental game in that your brain has to queue your following moves while your body is performing the current set. If you check out at any point expect to fail.
The grafx aren't stellar, but you really won't notice as your eyes are glued to the little Helix dude (and I'm not one to really care about the quality of the graphics, anyways). It meshes well with the music which seems to be all technoish. Not being a big fan of techno, I think it really is the only genre that works with this kind of game, and oddly enough I do get into the tracks.
I recommend it.
