5 out of 5 stars Super cool & lots of stuff to do!   November 27, 2002

I watched the American Idol TV show and then I went out and bought this game. This game actually has MORE stuff in it than the show did!

First, you get to create your own character. There's not too many choices at first, but if you play for a while you can collect a lot of stuff.

Then you get to play singing and dancing games! The dancing games are pretty cool and my favorite is the singing practices where someone sings to you and you have to sing back. You can record a song with your voice and use it in the game too.

After you win a game, you go make a video of your performance. I think this is the best part. All kinds of dance moves, cameras, lighting and special effects. Then, if you want, you can put your video up on the website and people can vote on it, just like in the show!

It takes a long time to get enough stuff to make a really cool video, so don't give up.

I'd recommend this to anyone who liked the American Idol TV show and also to anyone who likes to sing or put together dance performances.

I don't know why everbody says the object of this game is to create the next Kelly Clarkson...I'm trying to create the next Tamyra Gray. Anyways, this game is REALLY good, because artistic people can relate to it. You get to sing, make your own dance moves, and make your own character and clothes. I know you may be thinking "I've already spent over $100 on American Idol merchandise!!" But trust me, this is worth it!!!

The "American Idol: The Search For A Superstar" game is fantastic! The game is obviously based on the hit reality show American Idol: The Search For A Superstar. This product includes a microphone and over 20 songs for you to sing along to. The point of the game is to push the correct keys when they appear on the screen, ... You will be able to create your own characters (clothes, hairstyle ect.) and up to two players may play at a time. Then at the end the judges will tell you what they think, but unlike the show Simon isn't as harsh with his comments. I think this (approximately) ($$$) game is well worth the money. So I'd suggest you hurry up and go get your own copy of this amazing game fast!

I don't know why everybody is saying that this game is trying to create the next Kelly Clarkson.....I'm trying to create the next Justin Guarini.Anyway this is a great game it's just like the real american idol show you get to create your own style for your created character in the game.Also you get 3 juges who rant or rave at your moves to a choice of 20 hip songs.Also what I think is best of all you get to video tape your performance on to a American Idol website and let the world decide rather you should be the AMERICAN IDOL.I think that you sould get this game because I know I will be the first in line to get mine to add to the rest of my big collection of American Idol merchandise.


5 out of 5 stars This is a COOL GAME!   November 27, 2002

I love American Idol the TV show. I just got the game for my birthday. It's fun, hip and waaay cool. My friends and I used the karaoke part of the game to record our voices and create our own music videos. I just posted my video to "I Feel Good" and made it into the Top 40!

The graphics are cool, the music's got good beat (the game's got an assortment of different types of music -- rock, pop and R&B), and the web site is totally awesome!

Even though the judges aren't the same, you quickly forget about it as you create your video -- by far the best part.

This is a definite RECOMMEND for Christmas!
