Product Description
Elite Beat Agents are a super-secret agency made up of 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, seeking out cries for 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. Whether they're helping a lost dog find its way home or helping a babysitter charm a hunky football player, no crisis is too weird.

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 find during the day. I, personally, brought this game to the laundry mat with me to keep me occupied while waiting for my wash!
This game says 10 and up, but I think you could go a little young, depending on how good the recipient (or yourself) are good at playing rhythm games like this. A good stocking stuffer or addition for the kid who is just getting his DS. Enjoy the game!
 Awesome! August 28, 2008

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!
this game is rad!!! July 3, 2008

This is my favorite game in years. The first time I played through it I was disappointed because it is so short; initially you have 16 songs and the gameplay is relatively easy. I've never been the kind of person to replay a game over and over on different difficulties and I was just really upset that it didn't take very long to play all the way through it the first time.
BUT oh man, once you get into playing it again... and again... and again, first to unlock those elusive Divas and then to unlock all the songs and ranks and eventually Kahn, it adds up to quite a bit of play time, not to mention playing it again and again just because it is so much fun! I will warn you that if you don't like the music, don't buy it-you will get to hear these songs over and over and OVER again, unless you're only interested in playing it through once on Breezin'. Watching Kahn dance around as a playable character was worth every one of the times I tried to beat Jumpin' Jack Flash in Divas mode.
Fun. Wacky. March 24, 2008

I have no sense of rhythm. I'm the guy clapping off beat at the concert. I still like this game. Sure, my wife kicks my butt at this game, but it's just fun. I wish it had more good songs. I also wish it had cost a bit less, but with the music industry's hand in the pot, I wouldn't count on it.
