    The board game format gives it a bit of randomness, and despite there being almost no challenge, it's still a surprisingly amusing diversion. [May 2003, p.87]

    If you want a good rhythm game, look elsewhere. And if you want American Idol, just go watch the show.

    Not much of a party game. [Apr 2003, p.103]

    With only 21 songs to choose from, this is pretty limited. The rest of the game is repetitive and boring and will only last about half an hour.

    Unfortunately, it's a mostly uninspired affair, trying to blend several easy-listening game styles, but ultimately never quite hitting the right notes.
