5.0 out of 5 stars The Official Game of American Idol!!!!!, January 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: American Idol (Video Game)

Finally they came out with a video game of the hit Reality TV show American Idol. It is a really fun game to play you have to be quick with your fingers to press certain button codes in to make your singer be able to sing to the beat of the music , watch out if you mess up on singing then the judges will kick you out of the competition with a few words of criticism!!! you have to get throught multiple rounds of singing to make it to the finals to try to be crowned the new "American Idol"!!!!

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: American Idol (Video Game)

This is a great game! Don't belive to all of those people saying it's garbage. i like it because you pick a character (boy or girl) and pick out there outfit, and then you do compiticion, rehersal or endurence. compiticion is where you compete to be crowned american idol, rehersal is where you can practice unlocked songs, and endurence is where you practice every song on the list until you are voted off. it's really fun and i think more people should buy it!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: American Idol (Video Game)

American Idol is a fun game that's easy to pick on and has a bit of a challenge. The object of the game is to tap either the "A" or "B" button when the cursor gets to the button icon. It's much like Frequency and Amplitude for the PS2. There are 3 types of modes; Competition, Rehearsal, and Endurance. Competition is where you work your way up to becoming the next American Idol. Rehearsal lets you practice you skills before moving on to the competition. Endurance is where you perform as many songs as you can but you must raise the charisma meter up to the designated area to move on to the next song. There are about 20 songs in all from various artists including Ricky Martin, The Monkeys, and even Elvis Presley. The only downside to this game is that instead of saving, you have to type in a password instead. Games like this annoy the crap out of me but this game is still fun, especially for the American Idol fans.
