I've been playing both Ouendan 1 & 2 recently. They are JP music/rhythm games for the DS, and I love them. You play as a team of serious looking guys known as the "cheer squad." You're summoned by various weirdos to help them through their goofy personal problems by yelling and dancing to music. You hit numbered markers in time with the beat to help the team accomplish this.
The first game was brought over here and changed around to be Elite Beat Agents. I tried playing that a few times, and never got into it.
Then I got a copy of Ouendan 2 (official title: Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2), and was instantly hooked. The music is much better, and the ouendan are more entertaining than MIB rejects. Just look at these guys:
And a screenshot (easy mode):
Now I'm on the last level of hard mode in both games. I would say that 2 is the one to start with, since they improved a lot. If you do really well on a song, you can save a replay of your game (up to 20, I think) and show off to other losers. There are three unlockable songs you can get once you reach a certain number of overall points. Also, you can skip all song intros, if you've already played the level before. There are different types of 2-4 player wireless games.
Both games have catchy music, insane stories, and are fun as hell to play.
I do have issues with the spinner sections, which can be annoying. Some songs have hit markers that are on odd beats/notes, which makes it tough. And playing the game without a screen cover/protector will come back to haunt you. :P
Right now the second game is on sale at play-asia.com for about $30.00.
That's all.
