Shady O'Grady's Rising Star |
|
|
|
From the day you first strummed a broom like a guitar, or sung in front of the mirror with a hair brush, you've dreamed of becoming a music star. Now you can live that dream without leaving your home. In Shady O'Grady's Rising Star, you start out as a rookie musician, and work your way up to stardom. However, success doesn't come without hard work. You must join other musicians with compatible personalities, write songs, and practice practice practice! Go out on the town, to get familiar with the local club scene, until the day comes for your first gig. Eventually, you will deal with larger venues, managers, producers, record contracts, product endorsements, and more. Choose your starting city in the continental United States, and conquer as many cities as you can while on tour. You can even buy a home in each city, to make visits more convenient than staying in a hotel or motel. Customize your band with tons of clothing and hair styles, as well as hundreds of different kinds of equipment. You can even get a custom paint job on your band van. [Gilligames]

It was buggy at launch, and remains mildly buggy even after the latest patch(v1.06), but, even so, if you're the least bit into the concept of a band sim, Shady o"Grady is gonna rock your world. [June 2007, p.56]

Worth Playing
Rising Star has its share of flaws, with the dated graphics and decent, although limited, audio palette, but at the same time, the game is rather endearing and is entertaining for both a quick-play session and those marathon times when you keep playing for "just one more gig."
60
GameZone
An interesting debut, but one that falls prey to weak production and more repetition than a Ramones album.
45
Digital Entertainment News
Outside the rabid RPG fans, who will be intrigued for the unique design, there isn't any engaging experience with Rising Star for more casual players. Even the most rabid of RPG fan will yawn through the poor design.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Rising Star fails the way a rock star should: under the weight of its own ambitions.
