Product Description

Product Description

Pop Idol is a music-based rhythm-action game that allows you to create, style and train a contestant through auditions, various heats and the grand final--just like the hit TV show. Create your own idol with fully customisable hair, appearance, wardrobe and keep the rhythm going to join Will Young as the champion Pop Idol.

Match the combination of buttons displayed on screen and your contestant sings a sweet harmony, dancing to the rhythm of the song. Get it wrong and their performance fades and goes out of tune as the judges, and later the audience, grow unsettled. Get it perfect and make the song your own with ad-libs to really impress. The tracklist has 40 international hits to master--including "Oops I Did It Again", "Genie in a Bottle" and, of course, "Evergreen"--so prepare to get full feedback from the judges whatever your performance is.

If your contestant sings the song perfectly you'll receive a few words of praise from Simon Cowell and the other judges and win a place in the next round. However, if your contestant squeals and howls out of tune then prepare for heartache as Cowell delivers one of his famous put-downs before you get booted off the show.

1.0 out of 5 stars Serious Software Problem With an ATI graphics card, 7 Jan 2004
My daughter begged me to load this on my Mesh computer running XP home. No problem I thought with a good spec computer - more than meeting the recommended requirements. First it wouldn't load. I checked Codemaster's site where they admitted problems & suggested patches with ATI 9000 series graphics cards. Downloaded these & it worked. Got through game second time round & it locked. It destroyed vital system files resulting in me having to load XP operating system again!! Lost everything & took 2 days to sort. Complained to Codemasters who replied saying "thank you for your comments".

Do not load this software if you are running XP Home & have an ATI 9000 series graphics card - there are some serious flaws with this software!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop Idol PC game, 31 Oct 2003
By Nick Booth (England) - See all my reviews
Well where do i start? This game is phenomanol and i thoroughly enjoyed playing it and watching people play on it. As i am such a fan of the ITV show 'Pop Idol', i knew i would LOVE this game and obviously i did!
At first i felt that sometimes on Pop Idol when they claimed that there was a lot of pressure, i laughed to myself but believe me after playing this tense game i see what they mean! So far there has been tears and laughter due to this game and i have only had it for two days. I am looking forward to playing on it tomorrow. And if i can pluck up the courage i would like to appear on the show one day. However on the game Simon has made me think otherwise. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed the game as much as i did, if thats possible. Thanks. love from the POP IDOL!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pop Idol - The Review, 18 Jan 2004
By Mark (Carmarthen, Wales) - See all my reviews
On installation, I did encounter a glitch which required a patch download from the Codemasters website, the game itself is excellent. It is so true to life, it's spot on. I take my hat off to the team responsible for this game at Codemasters, as I think that they're months of hard work have certainly paid off. In my opinion, I think that anybody who loves the ITV1 series will love this game, and use it again and again.
