What Parents Need to Know

About Elite Beat Agents

Parents need to know that the comic humor presented in this wacky software is over the top and will be lost on younger children. Also, some of the storylines feature scantily clad women with jiggling breasts, and a story of the loss of a parent. While quirky and silly, there is something wonderfully appealing about this game, which makes it fun for kids and families to explore. It is one of the best games released in 2006 for the DS.

    AGH!

    Ok, here's the thing about this game, it is BORING! I played this for fifteen minutes and then stoped and got out my Gameboy color to play something that didn't have annoying music. I really don't understand how this game got such good reviews! The gameplay is repetitive and the songs are lousy. Ages 8-13 might find it enjoyable.
