Well, the gameplay's still there and the presentation's good too. I like the 3D world map, the same crazy stories, Manga style and the waving people during the stages. The Ninja stage was good was a laugh! End story's as wacky as the original. I recognised two rehashes of old scenarios, though - the athlete's immune system battling it out and girl's father coming back as a ghost.
I prefer the old Ouendan popping out of no where instead of agents arriving at the scene, though. Much cooler! Also, there's no flames once you have a big combo going so the same satisfaction of doing well in the original game is gone.
Sound wise, I didn't find many catchy songs. Again, I prefer the Japanese songs more
Still, it's a great Westernised version of the original since male cheerleaders, godzilla style fights, aliens etc wouldn't have worked in the West I expect. I look forward to seeing it hitting the top 10 DS games just the Phoenix Wright did.
I'll be sure to be one of the ones to pick it up for my collection when it gets released here in Europe next month. It'll be considered a "sequel" to Ouendan after all
