5 out of 5 stars Sheer Excelence   September 17, 2007
I must say it took a while for me to actually get the game. I heard all the hype and kept asking can it really be that good? The answer is yes. This game has a pretty decent soundtrack, awesome game mechanics, and enough humor and lightheartedness to keep you coming back again and again. If ever you were debating on whether to try this game or not,go ahead and plunk out the money if you have it, you won't be disappointed.


5 out of 5 stars EBA Review   July 18, 2007
EBA is a fun game where you need to tap/drag the stylus on the screen in rhythm and sequence to a particular song. It sounds easy, but it does get quite difficult as you progress through the game. Overall, I think it's one of the must have games on the Nintendo DS platform.


3 out of 5 stars Fun game, horrible covers   July 17, 2007

Since I am tremendously over the age of 10, my opinion may not count for much here, but I feel compelled to weigh in.

Elite Beat Agents is a weird, very fun game that is simple to learn considering that all you do is tap circles, roll a ball, and spin a wheel with the stylus in time to music. And that's it. It can be frustrating, but it is the the kind of frustration that makes you want to come back for more.

The Japanese-style animation is ok, but not worth all of the raves given to it. This is just a game, and there is only so much they can put on a chip. You want animation, see Ghost In The Shell.

The unforgivable thing about this game is, surprisingly, some of the music. Considering that this game is being played mostly by kids who probably never heard the original versions of Deep Purple's "Highway Star" or Stray Cats' "Rock This Town", it's a crime. Nintendo botched "Highway Star", but they murdered "Rock This Town". I wonder what Brian Setzer thinks of it.

I'm only about halfway through the game, and I think that so far, the only actual real music artist on here was the guy from Jamaroqui, and it doesn't look like he even got a credit...



5 out of 5 stars BEST.GAME.EVER!   July 8, 2007
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I absolutely loveee this game. If you like DDR, then you'll love this game. It's the best game in the whole world and you could probably play it all day!
The only downside is that its a bit laggy when the game is almost done, you have to wait a while to get your score. I think there also should be a freeplay mode where you don't have to watch/read the storyline, although the comics are quite funny and interesting (and also pretty corny).



4 out of 5 stars Hard to Beat these Agents   June 27, 2007
I bought this game after hearing about it on someone's podcast. I was surprised by the quirky nature of the game. It is a music rhythm game where the Elite Beat Agents are called upon to save people's problems by singing, and dancing. The idea is absurd but by using a stylus you touch or drag along the lower screen to keep the agents moving in sync with the music. If done correctly, the Agents manage to save another crisis and are ready for the next assignment. This game is best enjoyed using headphones and the rumble pack available separately. They are not necessary but add to the enjoyment. After a while, the music begins to get a hold of you and you will want to save the rest of the world using music.
I highly recommend this game for anyone with a sense of humor.
