Elite Beat Agents (DS)

This has to be the most fun that could be had on a DS. It has one of the most simple ideas, but as everyone knows, the simple ideas are the best. Its basically a game where you are in charge of Elite Beat Agents, who have to solve the world's problems with the power of dance. Each level is accompanied with a song that the agents have to dance to in order to solve the problem. This is done by you, but pressing the buttons on the bottom screen of the DS is time to the music. Simple but genius. The thing that carries the game more then anything is the animation and stories that go with the songs. They often tend to be hilarious, and tend to make no sense. In one ...  Read the complete review

Elite Beat Agents is a game for the Nintendo DS. Unfortunately I don't own one of these, but my little brother does, and he recommended Elite Beat Agents as a game I might enjoy. And I must say, he must know me well! The basic premise for EBA is that you are a secret agent who needs to save those in need through the power of song. Each level has a number of songs you can choose from and each song has a small story attached, for instance Leonardo Da Vinci's need for the Mona Lisa to pose for him when she refuses, or a little girl who has lost her father and wants to get in contact with him. All quite random I'm sure you'll agree and to be honest, I never paid ...  Read the complete review

Having never been a fan of the DDR series or the other various dance games, I was pretty surprised at just how much I enjoyed Elite Beat Agents. The premise is simple - people all over the world are in trouble, and it's down to the agents to save them the only way they know how - through the medium of dance. You tap and drag your stylus in time with the on screen prompts to direct the agents - ensuring that the story works out ok. For a short and simple game, the quick cut scenes pack a surprising amout of humour and every situation feels unique. I found the game's higher difficulty level challenging, but the easier settings will accomodate anyone ...  Read the complete review

I got this after taking a sneak peak at my friends- it looked awesome and indeed, it is- This game way exceeded my expectations! This is a music/dance game with really lovely, upbeat songs that might inspire you to jump up and dance to (hehe). It's totally original and basically, what you do is you save the world by helping these Elite Beat Agents cheerlead. This game takes full advantage of the Nintendo touch screen and stylus combo. You can play multi-player with other Nintendo DS owners. You don't watch them as they progress but you find out after each 'scene' who the winner is. As with most multiplayer games I sometimes find myself ...  Read the complete review

Whatever the problem: be it trying to make it big as an actress, get a pregnant woman to hospital on time, fending off a zombie attack or simply asking your boyfriend to go steady - the Elite Beat Agents are there to help. The head of EBA, a retired army commander capable of seeing every event in the world on some gigantic screen somewhere, dispatches three of his best black-suited agents to solve issues through dance. Such a brilliantly ludicrous setup hooks you from the very beginning. EBA is a rhythm action game, much in the same vein as Dancing Stage Euromix, Parappa the Rapper and Guitar Hero, which fully incorporates the touch screen feature of the DS. ...  Read the complete review
