Well, what we do know is that it will feature news songs and storylines for players to work through, but the basic gameplay will remain the same. The story sees Commander Kahn, an ex-CIA agent who now is the leader of a mysterious group of men called the “Elite Beat Agents”. He scans the world for cries of help, after locking onto one, the agents perform a ‘dance’ (cheer, liturgical movement, whatever you’d like to call it) to help those in need with crisis’ like helping a babysitter win the affections of a football player or helping a lost dog find it’s way home.
The addictive gameplay of the original is back. Players will find themselves tapping the screen in time with the music and tracing rhythmic patterns whilst trying to keep up with the hectic pace of the game. Gamer's input will directly affect the way the story unfolds on the top screen as well – i.e. if you’re going poorly, the story will take a turn for the worst.
Not too much else is known at this point, but there are six screenshots available to view in the media panel. We will bring you more information on Elite Beat Agents as it comes. For more information, check out PALGN’s review of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan here.
