Thanks, Eradyn, it'll be fine. You can still make out the text and the faces, so I shouldn't have to worry about that. Most people should be able to link the chicken to my avatar and Garrus to, well, Garrus/Clan Vakarian.
I don't play many games, but I guess I do play a fair few obscure ones.
(Warning, these videos all have stories to them, and if you don't want it spoiled, though there's not much to, I'd recommend not watching them, I guess. I tried to get live gameplay as much as possible)
Over the Distance was my favourite song and level in the whole of Ouendan. Excellent song, and excellent story. All the other songs in Ouendan 1 are great, too. There are some I don't like as much, but they're still pretty good. Great final song, too. Good for a mini adrenaline boost.
EBA was a great game, too. I didn't play it as much, and I don't have it anymore, but those songs were pretty good, too. I didn't like how the beatmaps were a lot easier (apart from
Jumping Jack Flash, but that was still pretty doable (I never did manage to S/Perfect that in the time I had...). It was a lot more sustained and slowed paced, but the beatmap was still quite intense, if not more, than Ouendan 1's final song,
Ready Steady Go. alkaliph's an amazing video maker for these three games, and she's even got some actual gameplay than the replays shown), and the spinners were touched up a bit to make them easier, too. There's the familiarity in English music, but I think I preferred both Ouendans.
Ouendan 2 was pretty good in itself. Had good continuity from Ouendan 1, and it had some pretty decent songs. I'd say the final song is like EBA, it's more sustained and not as fast paced, though it's still pretty intense. I remember the frustration as I attempted SSAY on Hidden mode on Miracle Cheer.
alkaliph's video once again. But I think Ouendan had the better song-set, stories and such.
Another recurring sort of event in all the games is the sad story. I loved them all. I'd rank Over the Distance, You're the Inspiration, and Believe (strangely enough they're all english names) as the same in terms of the song itself, they're all quite beautiful and fitting.
In terms of the story,
Believe Story explanation ->
(The girl was jealous of her sister, and she yelled at her for it. When the sister was on her way home she was killed in a car crash, and the younger sister was full of grief and guilt. She decides to take up ice skating (what the older sister was good at that made the younger jealous) to uphold her legacy) was pretty good, but I don't think it compares to Over the Distance (just shown) or
You're the InspirationBut yeah, Ouendan/EBA fanboy-ism over. They're excellent games, apart from gaming adultery on Garrus, I'd recommend them all. Probably Ouendan 1 the most.
To make this more Garrus related, I can't imagine Garrus ever needing Ouendan or the EBA. He's too awesome to need support.
