FOX Television's American Idol makes its console debut courtesy of publisher Codemasters, who secured the rights to the talent show in April 2003. To re-create the challenge of performing a song in front of three judges, the game uses a rhythm meter not unlike those found in traditional dancing games, such as Konami's Dance Dance Revolution series. After creating their own potential superstar, players must learn to dance and sing in tune by tapping the correct sequence of buttons as depicted on the screen.

Each mistake or missed button press results in an off-key performance, with the character's voice cracking or wavering, and will be judged accordingly by 3D representations of Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul. Two players can compete against one another with a choice of 40 Top Ten hits from international music charts. The American Idol set has also been re-created, along with interactive crowds who will cheer or boo according to how well players perform. Can you weather the sardonic comments of judge Simon Cowell to become the next pop superstar? ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

    Going to Hollywood!

    By El Paco  Feb 27, 2007

    Pros: Song Choice, Easy of play, and Replayability

    Cons: My Singing...

    What can be said about this game, over all it isn't the easiest, I guess the other reviewer can sing better. American Idol is just like the contest, you have to stay on key. It doesn't matter if you know the words; you can mumble and hum them..., as long as you are on key. Some of the songs, the words just zoom past, and you really struggle trying to read the words, sing it, and stay in key. However, it is such a blast, and more fun with multiplayer. The game has several unlockable items, including songs, videos, and of course Create A Character Items. The song list includes the following +All My Life +Alone (+There's) Always Something There To Remind Me +Be Without You +Breakaway +Build Me Up Buttercup +Can't Help Falling In Love +Crazy Little Thing Called Love +Dilemma +Do I Make You Proud +Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me +Don't You Want Me +Easy +Every Rose Has Its Thorn +Flying Without Wings +Heartbreaker +Heaven +Hungry Like The Wolf +If You Don't Know Me By Now +It's Not Unusual +Just The Way You Are +Let's Stay Together +Love Will Keep Us Together +More Than Words +Photograph +Piano Man +Proud Mary Rock With You +Saving All My Love ForYou +She Bangs +Stand By Me +Stickwitu +Straight Up +Sugar, We're Going Down +The Real Thing +Total Eclipse Of The Heart +Unwritten +What A Girl Wants +You And Me +You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling You don't have to be an American Idol fan, just a fan of having fun to want to play this. However, if I can get a Platinum album while singing Let's Stay Together...makes me think the real American Auditions really are tough! Read more Less

    Pros: good music

    Cons: too easy, bad graphics, bad characters

    this sucked! i got it home and it was already used, but advertised as really new. It was dirty and messed up. there were no vixons! I would add newer music no 2000 stuff.
