Product Details of Elite Beat Agents

Description

The public knows of government agencies like the FBI and CIA, but little is known of this super-secret agency. Code-named Elite Beat Agents, these men in black are hero's heroes and the coolest group of guys this world has ever known. Of course, according to official records, they do not exist. Their leader, an ex-CIA agent named Commander Kahn, scans the world for cries of help. When he finds one, he dispatches the agents, who assist their targets by performing a song and dance. The hypnotic nature of their rocking revives the targets with groovy energy that boosts their willpower and helps them overcome their obstacles. Features: Get ready to roll! As the music plays, players tap the screen, trace rhythmic patterns and keep the beat as the story unfolds on the top screen. They'll rock along to 19 licensed and re-recorded songs across multiple music genres, featuring tunes such as Material Girl, Walkie Talkie Man, Rock This Town and Jumpin' Jack Flash. E

Elite Beat Agents (DS)

Strengths: Easy and addictive gameplay, amusing humor

Weakness: None apparent

Elite Beat Agents puts you into the situation of helping out the Elite Beat Agents, a secret government organization charged with saving the world. However, you have to work through the musical selections and play with the rhythm of the game to work through the different missions for the EBA's. It's a simple game that is very addictive and offers quite a bit of replay. A must-have for rhythm fans.

Elite Beat Agents

Strengths: Fun, easy to learn, lots to do

Weakness: Songs aren't the best, gets hard, not for casual gamers

Elite Beat Agents is a music game unlike the other ones. You use the touchscreen to tap, slide and spin to the beat of the song. I would not suggest that a newcomer to games play this because it does get very challenging, even for regular gamers. The songs are ok, but i would have picked different ones. Elite Beat Agents is a great game addition to the Touch! Generations library.

Awesomely Outrageous

Strengths: Fun and accessible gameplay, great sense of humor.

Weakness: none, really

EBA is, without a doubt, one of the most clever and fun games on the market. The gameplay is addictive and rewarding, the songs are appropriate and sound quite good on the DS, and the stories are thoroughly entertaining. A great multiplayer mode and a number of difficulty mode are also included. Even if you're not a fan of the songs or of rhythm games in general, I highly recommend this title.

An elite game

Strengths: One of the best music games ever, lots of challenge, great production values.

Weakness: Some of the songs are weak choices.

Ouendan is one of the most-loved import games for the DS. Elite Beat Agents is the U.S. version, and the good news is that very little has been lost in translation. In Elite Beat Agents, you tap along rhythmically to beats or notes in the song. Numbered circles appear on the screen, with larger circles appearing around them. When the larger circles shrink to the same size as the numbered circles,...

Elite Beat Agents - Join In!

Strengths: music, lots of challenge, easy to play, anyone can pick up

Weakness: none

Elite Beat Agents is one of those games that everyone can play! Imagine playing Dane Dance Revolution, but with the Nintendo DS stylus. That's what you get with Elite Beat Agents. You tap along to the beat of the music following the prompts that you receive on screen. You'll soon find that the game is highly addictive and full of fun and energy. You'll also unlock the stories of the storybook...

DDR for your fingers

Strengths: Interesting mix of music; addictive gameplay

Weakness: Corny storylines (but that could be a plus as well)

Just think of this as Dance Dance Revolution with the stylus. If you like stomping your feet to music, then you'll probably like doing something similar on the DS. The music selection has decent variety (with a few possible questionable choices), but no matter the song, the gameplay is easy to get into. Tapping along with the beat can be quite fun and manages to avoid getting repetitive. This is...

Some of the most fun I've had on the DS

Strengths: Fun, easy to learn, great songs

Weakness: Could use a couple more songs

This is a really fun game. If you like DDR, but lack the foot coordination, this game is for you. It's also fun to show your friends the capabilities of the DS. I would recommend this to almost all DS owners.

Let's Dance!

Strengths: Multiple levels of difficulty. Challenging but also accessible. Fun!

Weakness: None

EBA is great. You dance your way into saving the world with this wonderful rhythm game. There are multiple difficulty levels and plenty of bonuses to be unlocked. You can a save your missions for review later and then play against them in one of the many different type of multiplayer games. This game is a must buy for the DS!

Elite Beat Agents

Strengths: Frantic pace, playlist, presentation

Weakness: playlist (some may or may not like it), occasional out of sync/delay

As you might have read in another review of mine, I don’t have any rhythm. However, this title has been very fun and frustrating at the same time. Gameplay is sort of like the children’s game at the arcade, whack-a-mole, where you tap circles (on the lower screen) in beat with the song in a numbered sequence. There are a couple other things you need to do with the stylus at the same time,...

Music Lives!

Strengths: Fun and very challenging gameplay without being cheap, Funny stories to go along with the games, nice little imporvements over Ouendan.

Weakness: Bad for you if you hate fun... or music games.

This game is just aces! This is a new game, made just for America, based on the popular import Ouendan. It's not a translation, mind you, its a whole new game! Yay! It boasts a few little tweaks from it's parent game, including the ablity to skip over the intro part of a song, and unlockables for high score thresholds. (That's good. It makes you want to play more!) This game is sort of like DDR...

Elite Beat Agents

Ever since Parappa the Rapper popularized the rhythm genre on the original PlayStation close to a decade ago, development teams have adopted their own styles and controls to create games that focused on the player's ability to, essentially, tap to the beat. Ten years later the genre the beat goes on, with games such as Donky Konga on the GameCube, Rhythm Tengoku on the Game Boy Advance, and...
