swordianmaster Feb. 14th, 2018 12:59 am)Anyone who's known me for any length of time knows I adore me some rhythm games. Also anybody who's talked to me closely over the past week knows that I had a smattering of trade-in credit from Gamestop that was untouched, and on a lark I got a handful of bargain bin games. This was one of them - I knew that it was a rhythm game and that it reviewed decently well, but past that I was in the dark. So how is it?
Well, uh. It's Elite Beat Agents.
If you've played that, or its Japanese counterpart Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!, you know exactly what to expect. Except there's no quirky scenarios explaining why a cheer squad/MIBs have shown up, it's just... Michael Jackson. Dancing. To Michael Jackson music. Because that's what he does. While in some ways that does remove some of the charm from it, it doesn't change the gameplay in the slightest.
What you're looking at here is the official Michael Jackson knockoff of EBA. No more, no less. So chances are, you already know what to expect, and how much you're willing to pay for it. If you don't know what Elite Beat Agents plays like, look up "Osu" on Youtube for an idea, or just grab EBA. I feel it's slightly better than this. If you loved EBA and want more, with Michael Jackson songs, then go right ahead and swoop this up.
Just be warned: This is the one version of the game without "Thriller". And yes, that is an unforgivable sin, because there ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl.
