Pop Idol is a music-based rhythm-action game that enables players to create, style and train a contestant to compete as a singer through the auditions, the heats and on to the grand final, complete with the trademark nice and nasty comments from the judges, including a computer-generated Simon Cowell. The gameplay has gamers singing and dancing with their hands. Match the right combos of button presses to what's on the screen, and your contestant sings a sweet harmony and dances to the rhythm. Get it wrong and their voice fades and quivers as the judges and later the audience grow unsettled. With a tracklist of 40 international top-ten music tracks to master, you'll get full feedback from the judges whatever your performance. As a single player game it will be a rewarding challenge and as a multiplayer game it will be fantastic fun as a brilliant party game for everyone to watch or compete in.
