    Will Pop Idol fans like this game? They will adore it and force everyone within a hundred mile radius of them to play it. Will everyone else like it? Well that depends if you allow yourself to like it. Mix friends and family with large amounts of alcohol this Christmas and place a controller in their hands and you will have a successful party.

    I hate to admit it, but ‘Pop Idol’ is actually quite a bit of fun. Despite my every protest to gain any enjoyment from this game, I found myself tapping along to the tunes and worried the first time I faced the dreaded Simon Cowell.<br><br>Well that is until I saw what Codemasters had done to him; butchered up, bastardised and shrunk into a super-deformed, cell-shaded mere imitation of his real-life persona – I defy anyone not to laugh the first time they see him,...

No, unfortunately that’s the sound of me playing the Pop Idol game very, very badly and being soundly ridiculed by a roomful of teenagers. Damn. Read more

    With Pop Idol you enjoy the first 4 rounds then after that it can get boring...The judges comments are always the same, and the clothes are rubbish... Too many rounds in the game, I think this game is a bit of a disappointment really, even my younger sister got bored playing it after 30mins Read more
