But even with new characters, popular Western tunes, and plots that actually make sense, Elite Beat Agents retains the awesome, addictive gameplay core.

Something always felt a little off when using the touch screen. I just don’t think this kind of touch interface is well suited to the rhythm game genre. After awhile I actually did start to enjoy myself a little, but Nintendo was never able to convince me that the game works well.

Very few games can truly claim to be for all players of all ages, and this is one of them. With a delirious mix of slapstick humor, comic storytelling, infectious music, and tons of replayability, Elite Beat Agents is one of the best music-oriented games to date and stands among the cream of the DS's impressive library. Don't miss it.

It's impressive how this game looks like it came at the end of the DS' lifespan, while instead it dates all back to 2006!
This piece of art is just unprecedented: the song covers are all decent, the storytelling is spot on, and the pace of the game is perfect for both casual playing and hardcore gamers who want to perfection every piece if every difficulty.
Absolutely worth playing, full marks!

One of my personal favorites, I believe everyone who is passionate about music should give it a try. Its simple approach on both gameplay and campaign is also what makes it shine so much, giving importance to each and every mini-story within the songs which are all endearing and funny.

Very unique music game with great pinch of humor and bunch of memorable moments. I didn't expect such emotional Rollercoaster from this game. Great game but unfortunately little bit to short.

Easily one of the best handheld games to hit us in a long while--it is fresh and addictive, easy to play, and hard to master.

Ridiculous. Infectious. Simplistic. Just plain fun. Saddling Elite Beat Agents for the Nintendo DS with any one description is difficult, as the game marries absurd comedy, entertaining music, and classic rhythm mechanics in a way that is both new and altogether different from anything else available for the platform.

Tolles Spiel. Ich finde es für jemanden der sowas nie gespielt hat etwas schwer, aber man wird beim wiederholten spielen merklich besser. Man schafft das Lvel dann irgendwann. Mag sein dass es für jemanden der sowas oft gespielt hat zu kurz ist, aber für Anfänger definitiv nicht.

The title just has some sort of magic to it, in spite of its humor and deliberate cheesiness, that encourages good vibes, especially by the time the over-the-top finale is completed.

A blend of entertainment and fun. Forget about epic RPGs that force you to endlessly level up your characters. Take a break from that puzzle game you’ve been drooling over for the past four hours. Never mind the platformers, the action games, and anything else that you happen to have in your DS right now. Despite its crazy concept, this game is a force to be reckoned with.

It can be digested in small chunks making it perfect gaming for the on-the-go types, and there’s honestly no other handheld game like it.

A sequel that ticks all the right boxes. All the original’s most important facets remain intact. [Jan 2007, p.115]

The frantic gameplay, comic-book-esque "cutscenes", zany humor, and wide selection of songs easily make this the most funny (and challenging) rythm game on DS. If you don't own this, you need to call for HEEEAAALLLPPPP!!!

De lo más friki que encontrarás en el panorama de la DS. A mucha gente le vuelve loca. A mí, me satisfació sin mucho esmero.

It's a rhythm game and all it's strong and weak parts come from there. So not my cup of tea in general. Pros: * Super funny comics before each level! * Commander Kahn screaming "Agents are Go!" * Songs are great * This game utilizes stylus in the best way possible. Cons: * It's a muscle memory game. So it's repetitive by design. Not my cup of tea. But I see how it can be addictive.

La curva de dificultad muy mal balanceada y el hecho de que todos los menus se navegan por la pantalla táctil es terrible. Siento que se va a terminar rompiendo la pantalla táctil por culpa de este juego. Además la música se escucha de muy mala calidad. Aunque a pesar de todo esto, es MUY entretenido. Lastima que sus errores lo arruinaron.

Horrible cheesy remake of the brilliant Ouendan, dumbed down for western audiences. Crap music, no character, no humour. Just get the original.
SummaryIn a jam? Well, all these guys DO is jam! Prepare to rock as these beat masters use their groovy moves to save the day. As the music plays, players tap the screen, trace rhythmic patterns and keep the beat as the story unfolds on the top screen. Every scene is accompanied by rump-shaking tunes, but players have to keep the Elite Beat Age... Read More
