Every once in a while a game comes along that truly turns a genre upside down and becomes a masterpiece in the process. Rhythm games such as DDR and others have been around for quite some time. It was not until recently that guitar hero came along and showed another side to music games, well now Elite Beat Agents is here, and it is changing the genre and perfecting it. Elite Beat is a funny tale of 3 special agents, hence the name, whose it is to help out the lives of people by cheering them on. Although it sounds weird at first you quickly become drawn into this world of people, and you actually start to care about the characters, as you work hard to help them succeed. The goal in this task is to pass a song in order to move on. The system is like that of a normal rhythm game as you go along with the beat of the song. How elite beat works is that you have circles with numbers on them and circles on the outside that are closing in on them. As the outside circles close in on the numbered circles your goal is to tap the numbered circle perfectly with the beat, as the circle will close in and form a perfect circle of the two. It sounds confusing at first, but once you get into it you quickly get the hang of things, and become addicted. Elite Beat in addiction to its great gameplay has great graphics and sound. Unlike any other game on the ds in the sound department elite beat features actual songs from real artists. Graphic wise this game is not the prettiest ds game, but, it definitely has the most charm in its character designs. In the end the only complaint i have from this is that there was not as many songs as i would have liked, and that some of the songs were kinda bad, but overall this is one ds game that a ds owner cannot afford to miss. Pick this one up now!
