This game is great. This is not a standard rythym game. It's a music upper body aerobics game. The motions are from somthing like taebo(I'm not an exercise guy so don't on my case for errors).
The reviewer is being a jerk. It's pretty clear that the reviewer does not like the Wii. His starting comment about godawefull wiimote controls even before this game pretty much gives that away. Then to go on calling players that play to be doing stupid moves. Well since these moves already mostly come from excerisise programs he clearly a vudeo game shut in couch potato. He went into the game with bad expectations for a Wii game, bad expectations of wiimote game, bad expectations about rythym aerobic game.
Music track. Ok the company right off the bat sais they are small and can't afford familiar big time label. So unless they are lying about their efforts to find appropriate songs that work in Helix this guy is being insulting to the developers efforts. I personally find many of the songs to be rather repatitive and technoish. They are not bad songs, but I can see them falling out of many peoples ear of music if it's small pallette of listening. Some of the songs are really nice to listen to and many are just a beat for the game. It's no AAA list, but it's far from godawful.
Many of these review sites that let this kind of reviewing style will eventually have to audit their reviewers. The current model of 1-3 days reviews and letting anti system/genre X reviewing will come to an end.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
