Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 is a rhythm game for Nintendo DS featuring a cheer squad tasked with solving various dramatic scenarios through song. Players engage with 19 new J-Pop/Rock tracks, utilizing stylus controls to tap, slide, and spin in time with the music. The game retains elements from its predecessor, introducing new mechanics and improved features for an enhanced experience.
Ouendan returns with nineteen more J-Pop/Rock songs, along with nineteen more situations where only a cheer squad can save the day. The original Ouendan and joined by a new team, the Morning City Ouendan, who wear blue in contrast to the black of the Evening City Ouendan.
Gameplay is largely identical to the original, tapping, sliding and spinning to match the beat of the song playing, in order to progress through different stages of a song. The closer the player gets to matching the song, the more points will be earned and the better the rank achieved. The whole game is played using the stylus.
Improvements made in 2006's Elite Beat Agents (the non Japanese `remake` of Ouendan) have been carried over, such as the ability to completely skip introductions and unlockable songs. One replay can be saved on each song, improving the system from Elite Beat Agents.
