The guy who wrote the IGN review was crazy. The game is super fun and a major value at $10.

Most people who played the game dont even like it? hmm. I would research that claim a little further:

Bottom line, this is definately one of the top 3 games currently available on Wii-Ware, hands down.

We got a joker here. Helix sucks, most people that play it stop after 20 minutes. Sure there are the one or two that dont hate it, obviously you are one of them.

Good first post, it could certainly go into the "top 10 worst ways to introduce yourself to a forum community, ever" thread.

He has a link to back up his views. Do you have anything to back up your assertion, or are you just talking smack to a newbie so that you can feel big?

Interesting reply.

I find your claim that most people stop playing after 20 minutes quite interesting. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Most of the boards I read are full of people who love the game, and can't stop playing.

Have you even played?

Thanks

It looks like a fun alternative to aerobics. I figured that game would be reviewed as an exercise game and get somewhere between a 5 and 6.5 as an exercise game. It works the upper body pretty well in an aerobic way from what I can tell and it only costs $10. Anyway you look at it, the review was poor.

I for one think I am going to love this game and nothing will change my mind untill I actually try this game.

i love the game. i downloaded it the first day it came out, i was stunned to see that it only got a 4.3, and i honestly don't understand why.

i don't why how defend your castle can get a 7.9 and this a 4.3. makes absolutely no sense to me.



the Wii is an epidemic.

It's a good thing I spent my wii points on Ys this week instead. Not that there was any competition between the two.

This game is the best $10 I spent since Starcraft. Starcraft is still better.
Actually, I didn't buy it, my ex bought it and I went over to play it with her.

It's a complete blast and is another shining example of the great snob divide in gaming.

It's a $10 music game, what do they expect?

90 minute cut scenes, 100 licensed tracks, and HD textures over normal mapping?

It's $10, and a couple of hours of fun. It cost $18 for two to go to a movie.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Is this available for europe? if not when will this be available for europeans? or do we have to wait for Wii III as a launch title?

Honestly, if you like DDR and Samba de Amigo, you will most likely enjoy this game.

If you suffer from excruciatingly self-conscious shame and humiliation when you play games like that, as IGN's Daemon Hattfield seems to, then you shouldn't get this game.

As far as I know, it should be released in Europe within two weeks.
