American Idol

The Bottom Line

Based on the smash hit reality television show, American Idol is a music-based, rhythm-action game that lets you create, style and train a contestant through the auditions, various heats and the grand final, just like the show. Keep the rhythm going to join Kelly Clarkson as champion and American Idol. Sing and dance with your hands to match the combination of buttons displayed on screen and your contestant sings a sweet harmony, dancing to the rhythm of the song. Get it wrong and their performance fades and goes out of tune as the judges and, later, the audience grow unsettled. Get it perfect and 'make the song your own' with adlibs to really impress.
