I have to admit, my first hour with the game, I was heaving a great big sigh because I was - yet again - being spoon fed the plot of all the previous games, like regurgitated morsels from a bird's mouth. But then you find out where the challenge lies - unlocking the star doors and the dives become satisfying. Even at its most annoying (Hollow Bastion three times? Really?), you can't get mad at what is essentially a new Elite Beat Agents game.
