American Idol could be the worst game of the year, just by the looks of it.. Look at how bad it is. The grapics are horrible. They are some of the worst graphics ever seen on Playstation 2. I saw some screen shots. There are many Dreamcast games that look better than this. I bet its boring too. I heard it took only ONE hour to beat. ONE hour. ONE HOUR!!! $50 for one hour! Are you people insane? Spending $50 for one hour of gameplay, probably with no replay value either. The show may be horrible, but I have a feeling this may be worse.

I am very disappointed in this game. I was expecting this game to be similar to Karaoke Revolution, but it does NOT even compare to it. The box on this game is misleading, it says, "Sing along to 40 top hits," and that's sing along as in look at the lyrics on the screen and sing them without the vocals playing in the background. American Idol judged people on their singing ability, but this game judges you on your ability to press the right buttons at the right time. Don't waste your money on this game if you are looking for a good karaoke game.
KARAOKE REVOLUTION IS MUCH BETTER

If you are an American Idol fan then this game is probably gonna be okay for you. But if you want a GREAT karaoke game this isn't the game for you. The game play isn't all that great, the list of songs is lacking and the voice-overs for the songs are even worst. For a great karaoke game look for Karaoke Revolution 1 & 2, both games are great!
i wish u can karaoke

this is the stupidest game i have ever played. do not buy this game if u do then you r very dumb, really it is a waste of time. and also when it is time for america to vote, they just put anybody's name. even if you were the best. and if u sounded awesome, they say no or something. they give you a small selection of songs to choose from. it is either like one or none. i think i wasted my money. i think you should like, sing into a mic, and they start from there. that would be better than this dumb game is now. i mean cmon, pressing buttons?! a 4 year old could do that. let alone a 13 year old!!! don't buy this. if you were smart, you wouldn't buy it~!!!

This is NOT a sing along game. It is totally misleading when Amazon shows you that customers who bought this game also purchased the microphone. This game does not use a mic! This is a role playing game, not a sing along. Very dissapointing.

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.
