Summary
[WiiWare] Helix is an innovative music-rhythm game designed for the Wii console. Use the Wii Remote controller to do dozens of exciting moves, including punches, circles, back fists, hooks and more. Be mesmerized by the eye-popping background visuals, which pulse to the beat of the music. Enjoy incredible replay value with 26 songs to play and three difficulty levels. Try to unlock all of the songs. This game is great for getting exercise plus having fun. No buttons are required, so it's easy for anyone to pick up but difficult for even the best players to master. [Nintendo]

GameFocus
The game has a ton of real value because there are plenty of songs to unlock, difficulty levels and the price is so low it makes it worth while to pick up even as an impulse purchase.

Though similar to many other titles in the rhythm genre, Helix is a unique experience and feels more like real dancing than DDR ever has. The soundtrack is enjoyable and fun, and will keep you grooving until the end.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Life
A refreshing entry into the rhythm action genre and, without a doubt, one of the more worthwhile additions to WiiWare.
Read Full Review >MEGamers
WiiWare needs titles like this to be successful. A game that is pretty simple yet fun and overall is great value for the money you pay.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
Wii Fit is a pricier option for health conscious players who like to have a good time while getting in shape, but Helix does the trick and then some at a budget price of $10.
Read Full Review >GamerNode
A pretty fun, if not, simple game. If you don't have coordination, you might be frustrated with the gameplay. However, the easy mode makes up for this. A good all around game for exercise and pretending that you're John Travolta.
Read Full Review >Gamer 2.0
Helix is an interesting title that makes good use of what the Wii is capable of. If you have some money to spend in the Wii Shop Channel and you're tired of doing nothing but watching Strong Bad on the WiiWare, you might want to give Helix a try... just remember that it's best to have two Wii Remotes.

Helix is a simple game that can be a lot of fun if you don’t mind looking bizarre while playing.
Read Full Review >Console Gameworld
Helix has the potential to be a better title in future incarnations, but for now you’ll just have to enjoy the music and dance to the beat of your own drummer. Get it for the music!
Read Full Review >Wii Brasil
Like any other rhythmic game, Helix is not a hardcore title and probably won't make the ones who are too serious about it happy.
Read Full Review >Video Game Talk
But if you're looking for an extensive gaming experience, you won't find it here, as once you unlock all the songs, it's just a matter of repetition.
Read Full Review >GameCritics
As a new music game, Helix sounded like a fun concept and I wanted to enjoy it more than I did. I just had a hard time staying with it. Taken on its own terms, the game definitely provides a challenge and some sweat—for the gamer that gets into the spirit and avoids cheating with mini-waggles.
Read Full Review >Gaming Target
Ghostfire Games must be applauded for attempting to do something innovative with the rhythm game and Wii remote. Unfortunately, the lack of precise movement, uneven challenge, and uninspired music selection serve to make the game boring.
Read Full Review >Gamervision
Die-hard rhythm game fans might get a kick out of this, but for the average gamer, there’s nothing here worth ten bucks.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
Much like its robot host, it's a bare bones facsimile of something with a lot more soul. Samba de Amigo may cost four times as much but even in its slightly disappointing Wii incarnation, it's still four times as much fun as well.
Read Full Review >Gamers' Temple
The entire game consists of one mode - looking at a bored-looking robot and imitating its moves - and that mode isn't really any fun.
Read Full Review >IGN
But rather than approximate real activity, Helix incorporates the same shallow motion controls so many other Wii games use to embarrass the user. The blah visuals and generic techno don't make struggling through it any easier.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
The whole concept of Helix is better encapsulated in one of "Rayman 3"'s minigames. Alas, Helix isn't even remote-ly fun or entertaining. [Dec 2008, p.74]
