User Rating: 9 | Elite Beat Agents DS
Elite Beat Agents is a great game, period. It has a whole lot going for it. Let's start with the gameplay. You use the stylus on the touch screen to touch parts in rhythm with the game. It has a sort of Guitar Hero-esque gameplay element to it. It starts out slower and easier to get you introduced to how the game works then it starts building up difficulty. The gameplay is really rewarding. The graphical style is really good in this game. It looks great and runs really smooth. It has a sort of comic-style approach to the cutscenes. Everything has a nice crisp look to it. The agents themselves look pretty good, just enough to look good but not great. All the animation is great and there is never a hiccup in the action. The animation gives the game a lot of its personality and humor.
This game's sound is good, but it has to be because it's a music based game. There are some great songs on here. They got David Bowie, Jamiroquai, and even a little Earth Wind and Fire. Those are just a few of the artists though. The music incoporates really well into the stories and gameplay. Elite Beat Agents is a game that is hard not to get into, and even harder not to recommend to people. It might be a smidge short, but it more than makes up for this with just plain fun and a unique style all its own.
