Review

so a musical version of Wii Fit?
thats what i'm feeling.

? Fighting/Music game? Thatd be awesome. NEEDS STORY MODE
AND DLC- New songs!! (But include enough from the start too)

Looks crappy
sorry

On another note, the synopsis of the game is very promotional. I'm guessing this is a text done by the manufacturer. Maybe it should be made clear that this isn't a review ...

Give it a chance BDP, it might be genius! Don't worry, we have toned down the synopsis now!

Hehe,
It's just envy really because the stick figure probably has better moves than me
Thanks for adjusting the text, a detail really but still ... objective reviews is why most people check the vc-r and wiiwareworld sites and we are gratefull you're there guys !!! ( i sure know my wallet is )

"The game claims to give you a great upper body cardiovascular workout." - I see... Well that certainly may appeal to some who are into Wii Fit and DDR Hottest Party but...

I dunno... *wonders about the song list, finds this:

Ah, so there are 26 songs, hm? If that's the case, don't price it 1000, guys. 800 is the magic number.

Anyway, this really reminds me of DDR Hottest Party with just the hand motions, basically. Maybe they got inspiration from there?

I don't know any songs on this screen... But anyway, I may give this a chance for my sib, that is. Who knows, maybe I'll like it. I hope they get the pricing right and determine it based on the # of songs they have.

Also, this is coming VERY soon. It's been rated by the ESRB so that says something on its own.

This should be fun. I'm tired of hearing the same old music so some independant stuff sounds brilliant

Looks interesting, but does it actually help you athletic wise?
It might take-off if they have the right mix of songs, an hand gestures.
The tracks seems too "Techno" for me.....
Might have to pass this up, but hopefully more gameplay footage and info can shed light on this new age game.
Wii Fit is doing great on the market.
Rockn.

i might pick this up just cuz it has some physical activity

Oh, cool! It's a like a mini Wii version of Para Para Paradise, the dance craze of Japan in the mid-1990s.

I'm getting this

whos played it is it good

would have been nice to see this in conjunction with the balance board.. would like to see some independent developers brainstorm some uses for the board

I just had a quick go on Helix. I didn't get to play for long enough to give any indepth thoughts but it does strike me that it might be quite good fun for prolonged play.

Basically the concept is simple. You have two Wii Remotes, one in each hand. The stick figure shows you the moves you have to do in advance of a sliding bar shooting across the screen. In the easier mode than I played it wasn't too hard to keep up with the moves such as hula hooping, touching the sky and the Saturday night fever Travolta move!

The trick of this game is getting your timing right so you hit the sweet spot. Kinda like dance dance revolution and guitar hero.

I really like the music in this game. It's your standard Euro trance stuff, but its really high energy. Perfect for this sort of game.

How good this game is in terms of depth of options I can't say just yet, but if you are after a cardiovascular workout then this is the game for you. I think kids would love it too!

It's just a shame that you really need 2 Wii Remotes to get the best out of this game, but it is preferable to getting whipped in the face by the Nunchuk cord I suppose!

I downloaded this game and I'd vouche for it. For $10 it is a pretty unique game and it is definitely fun, especially with a couple of friends to share in the gameplay.

I just got the game and it is realy fun. It is nothing like DDR Hottest Party's hand motions because those were just inaccurate. These ones are realy good, and some are realy unique. It is a great workout for your upper body, but you may get sore after a few hours. The songs are unique Techno soundtracks, that some are great sounding, while some just make you want to cry. But one of the songs makes fun of LA and it is actually kind of funny. Its fun to watch people play the game, and playing it 2 player (one person hold one wii remote, and the other person holds the other wii remote) is quite funny to watch. But I think it is worth the $10 because it takes a while to unlloock the songs as you ahve to beat many other songs to get them. So I would recomend it to anyone who like music rythem games and wants to get an upper body workout.

This is WiiWare at its finest.

I want it! But my sensor bar's messed up

Yes! Now time to play! Got a new sensor bar, and it's finishing its download right now!

this is probably the best wiiware game I've downloaded yet!

Awesome, awesome game!

Bought Helix... It's fun but it's pretty stupid at the same time..

1) You can do other moves at the correct time and it will still register correctly. Big flaw..
2) On hard there are some sequences that are just too fast to handle.. The character moves too fast to see all the moves and it's impossible to take into account timing.
