GameVortex writes: "Offering up to 50 job mini-games, the final version of Help Wanted will likely be a success on a platform where casual gaming is "pre-sold" to a large portion of its installed base. Not to overgeneralize, but pre-tweens and boomers are the most likely target market for Help Wanted. Compared to more involved "job" games like Order Up or outright simulations that have appeared on Wii, Help Wanted strikes us as a nice middle ground. Whether that nice-to-have quality becomes something more viral and must-have when the full version releases in Summer 2009 remains to be seen. In the meantime, don't quit your day-job".
"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."
