Ouendan 2 Review
8 Sep 2007
Fun:
If you loved Elite Beat Agents on the Nintendo DS, you are sure to love Ouendan 2 - provided you can tolerate the quirky Japanese pop music.
Although if you wound up at this page, you probably have some idea of what this game is about, for the uninitiated, Ouendan 2 is a rhythm game on your DS where you play as a squadron of cheerleaders who save others through the power of cheer. Every song is built on some wacky crisis that has to be solved. A giant cat stomping through a city. A salesman on a rocket to Venus to sell shoes for aliens. Thugs crashing a rock concert. The list goes on. In each song, you have to tap circles on the screen with your stylus at specific times in tune with the song. Other tasks include dragging along a line and the infamous spinner, where you must draw circles rapidly to spin a wheel. This may not sound fun, but you would be amazed at how well it works. When you are trying to follow along with the rhythm or lyrics of a song, it is every bit as compelling as other rhythm games, including the venerable Guitar Hero.
Ouendan 2 addresses many of the minor issues found in EBA. Gone is the occasional graphical flicker on the top screen and the ability to only save one replay per song (you can save any song into the 20 replay slots). You can skip the outro sequence to a song, making the game even more replayable. There is an unlockable mode for hiding notes for extra challenge and more. In short, Ouendan 2 is the first game with all of the improvements of EBA and then some.
The Japanese pop soundtrack may turn some people away. Personally, I enjoyed it. Much like Katamari Damacy, there is a general upbeat happiness to the music that resonates in any language. The song selection is very good in that each tune brings a unique challenge to the table and you will have to master every nuance to truly win this game.
At the end of the day, it's the strong gameplay that keeps me coming back for more. Don't let the price tag fool you - this is a game you will want to play again and again just for the fun of it. If you enjoyed EBA or just want a sublime rhythm game on the go, pick up Ouendan 2.
P.S. Let's hope Nintendo produces a sequel to Elite Beat Agents!

Ouendan are GO!
19 July 2007
Fun:
Yet another DS rhythm game by INIS, the creators of Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents, this blows both out of the water.
For those of you who've played neither...
You 'control' a team of Japanese cheerleaders, who, upon hearing a call for help from someone, rush in with background music blaring, and proceed to dance, dance, dance their problems away.
You utilize the DS's touch screen to do so, by tapping, dragging, and spinning at various points. Do good, and you'll solve their problems. Do bad, and you might make them worse...
The original Ouendan was a rather bare-bones release, lacking quite a few extras that Elite Beat Agents brought to the field. Ouendan 2 takes those ideas and improves them.
-There are now 20 slots for you to save replay data in, in whatever order you desire.
-As your Ouendan rank increases, you get extras like unlockable songs, and a new "Blind" modifier.
With the addition of a rival Ouendan squad, this is definitely the best Ouendan ever.
All DS games and systems are import-free, so Ouendan 2 and all other Japanese DS games will play with no problem on American DS's.
