Would you like to waste a couple of hours?

The Good
Not alot really. The idea of trying to make a pop group is kind of appealing.

The Bad
The fact that it 'has' to be a pop group. It would've been nice to be able to choose what style of music your group performed. The music editor is dire, only allowing a small selection of samples, resulting in most of your songs sounding the same. The inputting of these samples is also tediously slow, resulting in me giving up most of the time and just buying one of the premade songs. When it comes to releasing your singles/albums, the selection of album covers is truly shocking, there isn't even an option to design your own.

Creating a successful band is nigh on impossible, as your band will always be bad, no matter how much effort you put in, your talentless wonders will always dance like they've got a plank of wood stuck down each trouser leg, attracting something like 4 people to each concert.

The Bottom Line
The most pointless way to spend your money, you would be better off buying yourself a hammer and some nails to attatch yourself to the table....

steer clear of this game
