4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but Short-Lived, October 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rock Manager (CD-ROM)

Rock Manager is an insanely fun game where you can take a band of headbanging thrashers or soda-drinking popstars and do pretty much what you want with them. Everything is possible, from scheduling live concerts, to staging the misfortunate deaths of your sometimes annoying band members. Seriously, you will be amazed at just how many things are possible in this game. Rock Manager is not the king of graphics, realistically speaking, but the colorful character animations and the brilliant songs give the game tremendous personality. Musically speaking, there's something here for everybody. Pop, rock, dance, metal, it's all there. However, there are only 8 rather easy objective-based missions, and a ninth one that pretty much lets you do your own thing. This shortens the lifespan of the game, as after a few days you'll find that the number of performers and songs at your disposal are sadly limited. In that case, all you can do is wait and hope for a Rock Manager 2. Besides that, there seems to be nothing wrong with this magnificent game, and I highly recommend you give it a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun game!!, January 27, 2003

The most fun PC game I have played in a long time! The characters are very humorous (some cuss a lot, this is not for kids) and being able to mix songs in the studio is a definite plus. It has every aspect of the rock music business, from choosing band members, recording and mixing songs, album cover design, public relations, marketing, booking concerts, band interaction, touring, scandals and rehab. My only complaint with this game is that the eight different scenarios are a little too easy. I really hope someone creates another game like this involving the rap or country music business. I highly recommend this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy to learn and reasonably priced, September 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rock Manager (CD-ROM)

This game was fun and as the other gamer said, its easy to learn. The concept is great and dreamcatcher did a good job setting it up so the concept and the actual game would both be good. the different missions are fun, some hard some easy, but i like mixing the songs the most. so heres the overview of the game- hire band members, buy a licsense to a song, record it any of 4 recording studios (of course you have to make your way up in order to record in the best studio) make an album cover, you may make a video as you go through the missions, and you advertise. you eventually play to the grand capitol, new york by going on a tour. a tour is fun because theres all kinds of different equipment you can use...example-small medium or big lights. small medium or large speakers. tv screens behind the stage. smoke makers, laser designs, or even fire! its really a good game until you beat it, then you just go back to your favorite level and do it all over again! i suggest this item for ages 14/15-any age!
