Help Wanted is best described as a "life simulator." Players will work jobs in order to save the world from an incoming meteor. Due out summer of 2009 the game will feature slap-stick humor pertaining to the daily grind.
Performing the game's "odd jobs", will net the player money that can be used to purchase items to defend the planet. There are fifty playable jobs including an astronaut, game creator, dentist, and a haunted house monster. In addition to purchasing goods for defense, quirky keepsakes are also available for grabs to show off in the collector's room.
"Classic Game Room HD reviews HELP WANTED: 50 WACKY JOBS! for Nintendo Wii, published by Hudson. The Earth is about to be destroyed by a meteor and it's up to you to save the planet by working! That's right, you can deflect and/or destroy the monster asteroid heading our way by purchasing items from a cable TV shopping channel."-Classic Game Room
Gaming Nexus writes, "There's not much fun to be had here. The games are too short and the cut scenes are too long. Very young children might see things differently, so you might consider it for the little ones."
Gamertell has posted a positive review of Hudson Soft's Help Wanted for Wii.
From the review:
"The Wii's known as a haven for mini-game collections. The sort of games which take advantage of the motion control abilities, are appealing to a wide audience, accessible to players of all ages and happen to be affordably priced.
Hudson's Help Wanted is one of these collections. It's pretty versatile too, with a Job Battle multiplayer mode that offers four ways to win and a Career Fair mode which lets you practice playing the 50 mini-games. The most interesting part is the Employment Office story mode, where all of the games are unlocked and players strive to save the world by taking part-time jobs. It may not be the perfect Wii mini-game collection, but it's definite one of the more interesting ones."
