Description
American Idol is a music-based, rhythm-action game that allows players to create, style and train a contestant for competition. Players will see their contestants through the auditions, various heats and ultimately, progress to the grand finals. The game is complete with the trademark comments from the judges, including Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul.
The gameplay has gamers “singing and dancing with their hands.” Match the right combos of buttons to what’s on the screen, and the contestant sings a sweet harmony and dances to the rhythm. Get it wrong and their voice fades and quivers as the judges, and later the audience, grow unsettled. With a track list of 40 international top-ten music tracks to master, players will get full feedback from the judges that will reflect their performance. As a single player game, American Idol will be a rewarding challenge, and in multiplayer format, it will be fantastic fun as a brilliant party game for everyone to watch or compete in.
Notes
American Idol is the U.S. version of the game, while Pop Idol is the branding in Europe. Released in Europe on Nov 7th
