Review: Elite Beat Agents

Recently I have beaten the game Elite Beat Agents on Nintendo DS, now here is my review on this game.

Plot

The main plot tells about a fictional government agency called Elite Beat Agents, which solves people’s problems (example: Lost dog, casino getting robbed, etc.). There are many subplots which are peoples problems and you play the stage to solve the persons problem .

Gameplay

To play this game you just use the touch screen on the bottom. To play the game there will be little circles labeled 1,2,3 etc. called hit markers, around them is a circle getting closes to the labeled circle. When the circle encloses on the hit marker you tap it. Also there are phase markers which are like hit markers, but you have to keep your stylus on the ball until the end of the marker. Also there are Spin Marker which is like a hit market only you spin it until all the bars light up before the circle encloses on it. Then as you progress it will stop to show aMangastyle clip telling the progress of the story. If you start messing up though, the Elite-O-Meter will go down, and if you keep doing that you will fail the stage.

1. Steriogram – “Walkie Talkie Man”
