Pretty short, but the song selection makes it just that great!

User Rating: 6.5 | Pop Idol GBA
If you have ever watched American Idol, its basically a singing contest where the viewers get to vote. The American Idol game is just like that, but a little stripped down.

The basic gameplay is great, I couldn't think of any other way they could have made this game...When you choose the song and everything you are now in a room with some background music, a circle appears, the note chart...folowing some time there will be some circles with the letter A or B (and AB as you progress) you must time yourself so that your square is in the middle when you hit the button.

There are a few flaws with this though, occasionally I've had the thing disappear and I lost because I couldn't see what I was supposed to be doing...Sometimes, the notes just don't match up with the song, A and B have no significant difference in sounds...they're just there randomly.

The game is too short, maybe 20 minutes to a half hour can be spent on this game each time you play.

The graphics are mediocre, its rectangular like Mission Impossible for the N64 or the Sims (1). The Sounds...ick, the songs are okay, but when the judges start talking, give me some earplugs please.
