Pros
The game is pretty fun and pretty addicting. <p>It would be a good game to play every once and awhile
Cons
Graphics arent very good, Music is annoying i played with the volume off, and too expensive for the quality of the game. If it was $5-10 i would probably buy it but not for $15
Summary
had me hooked for one day

Pros
the plot of game, sound
Cons
graphics, no replayability <p>play the demo for a day and hen get rid of it thats what i did, i got bored half way through my run at the game but just played to win an award and man are the award shows lengthy takes up to much of my gaming time, im so glad i didnt buy this game. mdickie you need to start thinking before you make a game, your graphic engine is alright if you were selling the game for 5 dollars not 14 i can go out to walmart and buy rollercoster tycoon for 14 dollars and get my moneys worth, this game stinks like all his other games all the same just you have a different job. do your self a favor and spend $14 on a life
Summary
This game stinks

Pros
nothing
Cons
I want to know why this game has females with male bodies. There was not alot of though put into this game at all. M. Dickie did you really think that the style of this game would fly w/ us Females. I think that whom ever made this is extremely gay/or drag. NO Thanks for seeing "us Females" in that kind of light.
Summary
Ok but could be alot better if done right

Do your best to bring your act to the top of the pops.

Popscene is your backstage pass to the entire music industry. Build your own act, of any kind, and then guide them to fame and fortune. On the rocky road to a record deal, you'll hire talent, produce songs, release albums, and perform the material live in glorious 3D. All in a bid to secure the rave reviews that will catapult you to the top of the charts and into the history books. Professional success is only half the battle though. Your personal life is just as important - as you attempt to negotiate contracts, manage your finances, schedule concerts, and endure soul-destroying scandals. All the while trying to satisfy your demanding boss, restless employees, and fickle fans. With over 100 rival artists, spread across 6 unique record labels, the competition has never been tougher. Have you got what it takes to make an impact?

Version 1.2 is now compatible with NVidia cards.
