Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An extremely popular game. Here you get to save the world through music. Whether you are rocking solo or head to head with a friend or co-op. This game has the rhythm to keep you bopping.

Amazon.co.uk Review:


There's always a huge ranges of games from Japan that are never released in the West, but usually there's a very good reason for that: either they're not very good or the concepts and references just get lost in translation. One of the few exceptions is Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. The original name translates as Go! Fight! Cheer Squad and involves a trio of male cheerleaders trying to help ordinary citizens in a variety of bizarre situations. Although many loved the soundtrack it didn't really translate for a global audience so this is the Westernised remake.



Each of the game's missions are portrayed on the top screen via some gorgeously drawn comic book sequences involving such calls for help as a shipwrecked Paris Hilton lookalike and a weatherwoman trying to make it sunny. At this point the EBA (now part of a secret government agency) burst onto the bottom screen and you have to help them dance sufficiently well to then encourage their charge to victory.



This is essentially a rhythm action game where you tap sequenced markers in time with the music on the touch screen or occasionally follow a slider along on its path or spin a wheel. You have a steadily decreasing power bar, which is only kept at bay by successful hitting your marks. The way this integrates with the music, the agents dancing and the comic strip is wonderful and assuming you like enough of the songs (everything from Sk8er Boi to YMCA) this is the best music game on any system.

Rating: - Incredibly silly fun
I'm a fairly new convert to rhythm games. I bought one of the Dancing Stage games and a mat for my fiancee and was eventually persuaded to try it myself. From there it wasn't a big step to Guitar Hero (on both the Wii and the DS). I saw that Elite Beat Agents seemed to have been getting good reviews in lots of places, and Amazon were selling it for just over a tenner, so I figured I'd give it a try.

The opening stage pretty much set the tone for the rest of the game. The game alternates ... Read More

Rating: - Agents are go!
So, here you have the "Westernised" version of the Ouendan series, a rythmn-action game, and, fan of the genre or not, I certain you'll enjoy it.

It works like this, you select a mission for the Elite Beat Agents to take, the EBA are a special government unit that helps people in need by, well, dancing. As expected, the agents are always there to help, and each mission has a song that's vaguely related to the problem at hand. As for the actual gameplay, it's all about the beat. Markers appear ...

Rating: - Great fun, very addictive
The concept is bizzare - you have to tap the screen in time with the music to get the 'agents' to dance which helps the game's characters to overcome various problems in their life.

This is irrelevant to the game itself which is very simple fun and addictive. Some songs are better than others, but you get really into each of them when you have to tap and slide the stylus in time to the music.

Completing the game on easy is, as expected, relatively easy but the game becomes more challenging ... Read More

Rating: - you can't see what you're doing!
I bought this game after seeing it in my brother's nintendo magazine, and thought it looked good.

Basically it's very similar to the dancing stage games on the playstation, in that you hit certain buttons as they come up, in time to the music. Hitting these buttons allows your dancers to perform their dance, and complete the mission.

However, because this game uses the touch screen, it's like trying to play dancing stage with a toddler in front of the screen! The buttons you must hit come up ... Read More

Rating: - My lack of sleep due to this game is immense...
Basically when I first played this game I thought it would be a laugh, but not really THAT challenging, imagining it would be simple rythyms. 5 hours later and a few levels in, I saw just how wrong I was. Incredibly addictive and fun, this game can eat away your time. Also the songs, although not immense quality, are all the full versions of the song, and really are quite well chosen. On top of this the storylines, which are difficult to watch while playing, are really well animated, and funny, with some incredibly wacky ... Read More
