They got the beat
Elite Beat Agents | Nintendo DS
It’s hard to pinpoint what is exactly the charm of Nintendo’s Elite Beat Agents.
Perhaps it’s the game’s missions, which consist of outlandish scenarios such as helping an old man win back his gold-digging wife or helping a pair of Hilton-like twins get off a deserted island. If not that, then it’s got to be the quirky mix of Japanese and western style that the game pulls off effortlessly.
While the animated scene plays out on the DS’s upper screen, it’s your job to direct the dance moves of the agents with the stylus on the lower screen, as they groove to modern and classic mainstream hits. The game play of Elite Beat Agents is a wonder that could only be possible on Nintendo’s quirky handheld.
If you wanted to get into the rhythm-action genre but didn’t want to look like that sweaty kid playing DDR at your local mall, Elite Beat Agents is definitely the way to go.
