User Rating: 9.3 | Elite Beat Agents DS
Elite Beat Agents is a rhythm game about an organisation who use music, rhythm and dancing to solve problems all around the world. These problems can range from having trouble putting kids to sleep while babysitting, to being bankrupt after being one of the richest people on the planet or even saving the world. All of these stories or problems seem to fit in. Gameplay: This game has to be one of the most original and addicting games i have ever played. The gameplay is really interesting because it is a rhythm game, but only using the stylus to touch numbered circles as they appear on the screen to a certain beat. Theres also others where you must spin and drag back and forth. All these different beats obviously play different like they should and each one is used effectively and accurately whereever they are in the songs. Having scores, rankings and alternate difficulties adds to how addicting game is. The game is challenging even on the later levels of the easiest difficultie, but it rarely becomes frustratingly so because the game is just so fun. Graphics: While they were not technically outstanding, they managed to be stylish, smooth and often wuite funny. This type of animation really works during the cutscenes and shows off a little more of the games humour. They were cartoony in a nice way as well.
Sound: With headphones, the sound is just awesome, plus they make the game easier to play. The songs were varied for the best. There were newer artists such as Avril Lavigne and Hoobastank, while there were also some older artists such as The rolling stones and David Bowie. All of the songs play well and most are simply good songs to an extent. They could have left out Cher, and possbily Avril however.
Value: The game is very addicting as i said so it is worth playing the alternat e difficulties. The challenge only gets better as you progress through the game. There are also some fun multiplayer modes, but its a bit of a shame you cant play most of the songs via single card play. And there are only 19 songs (including extras), and i would have expected maybe a few more.
Basically this is an awesome game no DS owner should pass up.
