    Rising Star has its share of flaws, with the dated graphics and decent, although limited, audio palette, but at the same time, the game is rather endearing and is entertaining for both a quick-play session and those marathon times when you keep playing for "just one more gig."

    An interesting debut, but one that falls prey to weak production and more repetition than a Ramones album.

    Shoddy graphics and repetition means that this is more of a warm-up act than a stadium filler. [Aug 2007, p.92]

    Shady O'Grady's Rising Star has been the only band game I've kep playing for so long. There have been newcomers in the genre and will take a look for sure. But this game is really fun to play.
    Yeah, the graphics are a horror. The body proportions of the band members are so distorted that I cannot zoom much into their models. Yet, during the game, I keep them at a size where full body is visible and do not matter much to me.
    It starts with a slow pace but if you have a good strategy your second contract would worth millions. There are tough decisions to make and this makes me happy. I have replaced two guitarist and three vocalist since the start. Yet, finally the band came into a good chemistry.
    The game grows on you and even though I do the same things over and over there are some big goals to conquer that keeps me going. Like being the most popular in all regions of the US and having an album have its debut at 1st spot. My last band is from Detroit and is growing popularity. Now I'm planning on to tour on the west coast.
    The only problem with the game is that there are no guides in the internet to have some tips and the game is no longer supported or distributed. You should check out some rental shops for the hardcopy.
    If you like band games, you'll like this one for sure.    … Full Review »
