The Elite Beat Agents are at your service, but do they serve it well?

RANDOM FACT: Did you know the Elite Beat Agents started off as a japan only game called Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan? It was imported into the US so much that they decided to make a US version of it!

Story
There are a whole bunch of different stories in the main one! The main storyline is 3 agents are called out to support people whenever they yell help! Odd yet funny. While they don't actually help the person they use their motivational dancing and singing to motivate them. There are tons of levels each lasting the length of a song each with their own storyline with 3 possible endings depending on how well you play the song! Sometimes it's fun just to fail to see alternate endings! While there are no songs from this generation of music you can enjoy some nice ones of past like ABC, Survivor, Sk8er Boy and Walkie Talkie man and they all tie in with their story well!

Gameplay
Simple yet fun. Buttons appear on the touch screen where you have to tap when rings overlay in a certain order! You may also have to hold down on a held note or spin a wheel for extra points! It's basic but very challenging! There are 4 different difficulties but you on begin with two. It's wise to take advantage of these cause Sweatin and Hard Rock are for the pros only! The difficulty curve is perfect so anyone could pick up and begin from easy and work their way up to pro in no time!

Design
This game is pretty much all made from sprites except for the world map and character models. The rest of the sprites are for everything else! Song cut scenes and intros are presented in comic book fashion and work very well as there is a lot of humor in the game and it's perfect! This isn't a half finished game! The designers took their time to make sure it all came together perfectly!

Fun-Factor
This game delivers! There is so much to do! Playings songs are a blast and repeating songs to gain more points for the top rank will keep you busy for ages! It's like guitar Hero but for the DS and a lot more fun!

Overall
One heck of a good game! Nothing about it seems slack or un-interesting! If you have a DS and are into music and rhythm games pick it up! It will keep you busy for a long time! Guitar Hero lacked a moving story but this one has a pretty good one! If you see it, pick it up!
