What Gamespot Users have to say about American Idol. Rating: 5. On my first try at the normal level, I managed to get all the way to the end to see the gripping finale, more on that later.

A small circle is in the middle of the screen and four lines point up, down, left and right from it. Each line corresponds to the four buttons on the controller. As the song plays, one of these symbols, like an X or a triangle, will move in to the center along the line. As the symbol gets inside the circle, the corresponding button needs to be pushed. Sometimes the symbols will be at the front of a bar that moves towards the middle.

At this time, the button needs to be held down for the same duration, letting go when the end of the bar reaches the middle. The only other variation is when two buttons, always adjacent and never opposite, move in that need to be pushed together. Do well and occasionally a star symbol will move in along one of the lines.

Hit the right button when the star reaches the middle and the crowd will cheer and the TVs on the stage will have a little light show. In the early stages of competition there is no rhyme or reason to the order of the buttons that need to be pushed. The order isn't related to the song and don't form any patterns. They're done randomly and will often feature a button that needed to be hit when my character wasn't even singing.

At first, I tried to keep rhythm with the music like with other rhythm games, but that wasn't helping and only when I just watched for the symbols to enter the inner circle and ignored the music did my score improve.

Later on in the game, a few rhythms are formed by the order of the buttons and some more advanced skill are required. Still, compared to other games in the genre, this is by far one of the easiest I've ever played. It would have been nice if there was more of a reward for doing well like the singer moving around more or things starting to happen in the background like Samba de Amigo.

As it is, there are only a few moving symbols and some sparks for being on cue. There is any on-screen score, just the verdict from the judges at the end of the song. Get enough correct hits and they'll let you move on, but there is no immediate way to tell how your session is going other than trying to keep track in your head of your successful hits.

Only after finishing the game and finding a Hall of Fame option did I even find out that there is a score for button-tapping ability. So it is tallied even though during the game it's never on screen. As for the judges themselves, it's obvious that one of the main selling points is the inclusion of the witty and sarcastic comments by the three judges.
