    This game has some loose edges. if you look away for one second, you just might find something better to do. not to fun.

    Well, much like the show itself. Repetitive, boring, and not worth the time spent on it.

    It gets pretty good, but when you get into it, you look around and get bored. Not to mention, the graphics are awesome, but when they rate you, when you go in kareoke, it made me mad. They DON'T know what they're hearing, so, otherwise, this game has its ups and downs....

    I hated it. it was a terrible game. and do you know what the saddest part is? I saw it at Wal-Mart, played it, came back the next day and they replaced it. dont buy it. if you REALLY want to play it, borrow it from a friend or, if you're desperate, wait 6 months and buy it for $5.99.

    It is ok being a DDR fan. Some aspects are of American Idol are more challenging than DDR, but DDR still rules over this game 10-fold.

    I HATE SIMON COWELL SO MUCH I WANT TO SHOOT HIM 328 TIMES, THROW HIM DOWN A RIVER AND DROP HIM OFF OF A CLIFF. But other than that pretty good game

    Nothing more than an unpolished, but promising, rhythm title. [Feb 2004, p.103]

    A cash grab...a shallow game. It's a novelty that will disappoint many in the long run.

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