This is just a flat out horrible game. When I first heard American Idol would be making its debut as a video game, I immediately knew it would be a horrible idea, and it was. Bad bad bad.

The fact that the game puts too much thought and effort into selecting a hairstyle and dressing up your teenage Idol character just makes the game stink even more. As for the actual singing part, well, pressing buttons on the controller JUST the right way will help you stay in tune with the musical notes you hear. This isn't any fun, though. Avoid.

great game

In this game you can choose from 5 diffrent catergories:

-Competition Which is trying to become american Idle

-Party Play is a mini contest up to three people can play in and see who can do the best

-Karaoke you can pick from a long list of songs to choose from and then you sing the written words to music

-Rehearsal its just what it says you can practice over and over again so you can be the best

-Jukebox its just like a real Jukebox choose a song and watch your costumized player sing your fav song

I give it 4 stars because I think they could have made the American Idle part a little more in depth and because they didint use Ryan seacrest but made up 2 new people for the hosts and another awsome thing about this game is that you can use a Dance Mat!!!!!!!! I would recommend this game its great fun

Great for small children who love lousy music

If you have a four year old that has, for some reason, an affinity for prefab pop music, then this might be the game for you. For the rest of us, this is a waste of money and time. Wow, you get to choose the costumes and the hairstyles! That is hardly what I call gameplay. As for the gameplay itself --- if you know the difference between a triangle, circle, etc. then you are 90% percent of the way there. Again, your preschool tots might find this a little daunting, but they will be the only ones. One reviewer compared this to the old game SIMON, but that game emphasized good memory skills above everything else and is in fact still more challenging than this pre-fab nonsense. Save your money and your time & avoid this boring, unchallenging garbage.

I don't like this game because Simon is really really really mean person! In the game I didn't do so good, and Simon said i would do better as in lighter terms a female "Candy" giver who gets lots of cash for her "Candy". So then i burnt the game, my evil leprachaun told me to do it!

Great!

I borrowed this game from a friend and let me tell you, it's the best game. I gave it 4 stars because it could have been better in some parts, but hey, I'm not complaining.

My son loves this game. You can pick the songs you want to sing and then sing them as good or as bad as you want. It's fun to make them sing off key so their reviews are bad. This is a great kids game.

ITS OKAY

Me and my friend loved this game and we played all the time...we only had the one microphone(that came with the game). And then we stopped playing. And about a week later we tried playing it again and the microphone was all messed up... it would miss like half the notes like it was turning on and off.

AWESOME game i think i just got a bad mic.

You cannot sing along with this game!

You cannot sing along with this game. Do not buy this if you plan on singing along with it. To sing along you must get the Karaoke Revolution version of American Idol. This game is nothting but button pushing on the controller. Microphones don't work with it, the game is misleading, don't waste your money at any price.
