5.0 out of 5 stars San, ni, ichi! (3, 2, 1), February 13, 2007

This review is from: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (Misc.)

Being an afficionado of rhythm games, quirky games, and fun games, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (translated: Go! Fight! Cheer Squad) fulfilled all three. Don't let the Japanese text scare you away, as this game is fully playable without needing to know a single bit of Japanese.

The premise is simple: Songs play, and you tap, trace, and twirl your way to victory while the Ouendan squad dances on the bottom screen to help whatever hapless victim calls on them. The scenarios range from the hilarious (helping a chubby Cleopatra build a magical fat-reducing pyramid) to the serious (helping a recently deceased man get one last message to his girlfriend) to the over-the-top (charging up the entire world to obliterate an incoming meteor).

Of course, in a rhythm game, what really matters is the song selection, right? Fear not, as the songs are excellent, from the soothing melodies of 'Over The Distance' to the upbeat 'Thrill' and 'Linda Linda' to the main theme of FullMetal Alchemist, 'Ready Steady Go!'.

If you're a fan of Elite Beat Agents, Dance Dance Revolution, or practically any rhythm game, be sure to give this a try!

(Note: Import Japanese games will play on American Nintendo DS's.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly addictive, January 12, 2007

This game from Japan is highly addictive for any player. You don't have to good at rhythm games to play this either.

You go through many addictive songs to encourage people on the street to do their best, whether it's a student trying to pass an exam or going back in time to encourage Cleopatra to lose weight.

You can start off with easy or normal mode, but the higher the mode is, the more beats you'll have to match up with. But no matter what, this game will leave you humming the songs for hours afterwards. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes rhythm games, or likes watching them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ouendan = Great Win, February 28, 2007

I bought this after playing the American counterpart, Elite Beat Agents. If you liked EBA, you'll love this game as well. The selection of songs are just as varied and will suit most people's tastes. The main difference (besides the fact that everything is written in Japanese) is that the animation is more stylized, and the actual beats are smaller on the screen. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of rhythm games.
