For Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents, the headline is probably all you need to know. Unless you totally hate the music of Michael Jackson, you'll need to buy this game. For those that have never played Elite Beat Agents or its Japanese predecessor, you should know that these games that offer a tactile experience unlike any other in the rhythm game world. There is something just so physically satisfying about tapping, dragging, and spinning your stylus to the music.

Thanks to the Michael Jackson name, chances are high that Michael Jackson: The Experience on the DS will outsell Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan's sales combined. That's fine by me. The more games of this style I can get, the better. And who knows, maybe it will help help sell a few more copies of the games that inspired as well.

Oh my gosh. I actually imported the Japanese games and got Elite Beat Agents on release. This would be right up my alley.

Sold. I couldn't make out the fine details. Does MJ have a cartoony big head look?

So is this actually being developed by iNiS? If not, how do the devs of this think they're going to get around a lawsuit for copying the exact gameplay?

Wow, talk about shameless. Not that I'm necessarily complaining, mind you. I loved EBA, might give this a shot if it's good.

I love eba/Ouendan but the fact that I have to go trough all the Michael Jackson crap makes it not worth it to play also the lack of storyboard on top makes it less interesting

I was interested until I noticed Michael had a cartoony big head and there were no lyrics to the beat.
