Elite Beat Agents

First of all, this is an amazing game. Being a hobbyist drummer, I love rhythms and music and this game got me addicted. Initially, it seems not that difficult a game to play. You start with the easier level of difficulty, playing the easiest stages, and, one by one, stage by stage, you start practicing, and practicing, and beating the stages and the first difficulty level. When you get to the second difficulty level, things start to get a little more difficult, specially in the latest and more difficult stages, but, after trying it some times, you will manage to beat them all. Then comes the real challenge, the hard mode (called Sweatin'). That's when you feel the thrill! The most advanced stages are really demanding but, again, you will eventually beat them all and advance to the next and last level, the Hard Rock level (that I'd call insane! :-)). History repeats itself and will probably manage to beat again the 19 available stages. So, what is it that I want to tell you? What I wan... Read more

I bought this game with hesitations, but to my suprise, it's my favorite game so far. It's quite addictive and the music is overall pretty good. Some of the title songs are not sung by the original artist, but that doesn't affect game play at all. It's harder than it seems at first and I've really struggled with a few stages, but it's so much fun, I've even gone back and replayed some stages that I really enjoyed. The comic book style story telling on the top screen can be a bit distracting, but once you've finished with the stage, you can "replay" it and then really watch the story line. Some of them are cheesy, but all of them are entertaining and one is even a bit of a tear-jerker. All in all, you should give this game a try if you enjoy rhythm based games.

I bought this game based on its glowing reviews but didn't play it until I had beaten a bunch of other games. I finally put it in on a whim and did the little intro. Then I played the first two songs and was wondering what all the fuss was about. It's kind of like DDR for the DS or Parappa the Rappa (does anyone remember this game for PS1??) only you tap instead of dance or hit buttons. As I continued on, I got better at the timing and before I noticed it, I was hooked! This game didn't come out of my DS for over a month; until I beat all four levels. I like that you can skip a bunch of the "junk" (although some people probably found it entertaining). You can select a song and get right to the tapping. :) You can't skip the happy ending if you pass the song but you can skip the bad ending and try again. I played this game for hours and didn't even notice how time was flying! There are bonus levels to unlock and you go up in rank as you accumulate points. I found myself going back to tr... Read more

Elite Beat Agents is a really enjoyable game and perfect for anyone who likes video games that deal with music (such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc). The jist of the game is this: A song starts playing on the bottom of the DS screen. Numbered bubbles start popping up. You hit the numbered bubble on the 'beat' and score points. There's more to it, but it really is almost that simple. When you complete all 15 rounds, you move up to the next 'level' and play the songs over again, only this time there more difficult. There are a total of 3 levels you can go through, making this game fun for a long time. Elite Beat Agents has many popular songs to play along to, including things from these artist: Queen, Avril, The Village People, Madonna, Hoobastank, the Rolling Stones, and many more. Songs are timed well enough for you to play this during a short train ride or a long one. With the DS, you can easily carry this game around with you to have for any moments of 'downtime' you...

this game was really cool. it really is worth it at such low price... after your done tho, you prolly wont want to play again xcept on wifi, which is awesome because your friend(s) dont need the game to play, and up to four can go with just one card! so it is a very good multiplayer game!
