description
In Ouendan, you are a member of a "support squadron". Your mission is simple: help out those in need to bring peace to the world...
The game is essentially a rhythm game, however with a very odd storytelling along the way. Using your stylus, you touch 'Hit Markers' that appear on the screen in conjunction with the movement of a 'Timer Cycle'. Get many strikes in a row to build up combos and boost your score.
The game is presented in an interesting comic-book style.

if you know elite beat... you know ouendan good game. if you don't know japanese, it simply doesn't matter. just like elite beat agents only different songs (duh. different countries). anyway, buy it and give play asia money. they deserve it for continuing to stock this bad boy.

Best DS game Besides the sequel I first tried it on my sister's DS. I loved it so much I got DS of my own Just for it (and EBA+Ouendan 2).
Fun but not as good as Ouendan It's a fun game and the songs are alright but the one thing I couldn't stand is how the story and characters are kinda lame. The agents for example look lame. I mean come on....secret agents that dance. They try and have a cool westernized look about them but I reckon it looks more stupid and lame than cool.
In comparison in Ouendan 1 & 2 however the characters don't look lame and have a more comedic feel and look to them which PERFECTLY suits the nature of the game.
The gameplay in EBA is still there and it's just as addictive but I found it more irritating to play than Ouendan. Plus since it's in English rather than Japanese it kind of loses that anime feel.
I bought EBA first out of the 3 and it was a blast to play but the issues I mentioned, while may seem ridiculous to mention to some bugged me so much that I sold it on eBay once I finished the game. A while later I bought the Ouendan games and decided to keep them because the songs are all good and I didn't find it irritating to play like I did in EBA.

I love this. My boyfriend borrowed me this game to try out and even now, months later, I haven't returned it yet! I love the game. It's fun, addictive, the songs are nice and the stories are awesome! Even though it's in japanese, you don't even have to understand because the interface is so straight to the point and the icons make everything clear enough. My little sister tried it too, and she loved it. I'm definately getting this game soon.

The reason I got a DS in the first place... I was recommended to buy this game by one of my friends, and it's a purchase I've never regretted. Ouendan has to be the game I've played the most, not to mention enjoyed. I still play it, even several years later. It's a game that really uses the function of the touch screen, it's fun and addictive, and it's extremely easy to learn. It takes a time to master though, which only adds to the fun. First you'll be content with finishing it on normal, then you have to try it on hard... and soon you'll be obsessed with getting S-ranks on insane mode. It happened to me, and it will happen to you too. Buy it, I've never heard of somebody who have disliked this game!
