American Idol (GameBoy Advance)

Complete with a computer generated Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell, with trademark insults, American Idol is a music-based, rhythm -action game that will allow you to style a contestant for the competition. Once you have created your Idol you’ll see your contestant through the auditions, various heats and then fingers crossed make it to the grand finale. However, if your contestant squeals and howls out of tune then prepare for heartache as Simon delivers one of his famous comments before you get booted off the show.

Critic Reviews

64 Nintendo Power
It's a challenging and entertaining play. [Feb 2004, p.152]
48 Game Chronicles
With the limited scope in gameplay, primitive graphics, and repetitive comments from the judges, this is a game best left for the bargain bin, a weekend rental, or perhaps just skip it altogether.
10 GamingWorld X
One of those rare games that make you wonder how it is even authorized to be sold for a profit.
