GameVortex: Help Wanted Review

GameVortex writes: "Help Wanted should have stayed in the cooker for a while until the control issues were worked out, especially since the underlying concept is sound. The multiplayer would have rocked with online gameplay, even if it were just based on scores and leaderboards, but local against a friend is decent fun. The slow pace hurts what otherwise is a well thought-out sequence of action/upgrade gameplay, and the controls are just completely frustrating in many places. We'd love to see a collection this large (50 games) where the fun is maxed and the multiplayer balanced enough to make for fun party action. The mood in Help Wanted is festive, considering all the hard work, but once you've played through a few weekly cycles, the blush falls from the rose. If I wanted to do real work, I'd just hang out at my 9-to-5".
