Rock Star Manager

Add late game content and it will be grand. There is nothing to do after your band gets to 4 stars or above which doesnt take long.

Despite a very interesting concept, this is simply a terrible game. You take the role as a Record Label(At least, I think you do. You're not given the option to name it or many of the functions associated with being a record label, but you do manage bands. Kind of.) The problem is, nothing really seems to work as you might expect it to. When you start a new game, you're instructed to "Scout" for a new band to sign. Then you're forced to wait a number of weeks for the scouting results to come in. You're presented with 3 band options, each with 4 members. Each member of each band has a skill rating ranging from 0-100 and a future potential rating using the same scale. Naturally, you'd like to compare the stats of one band versus another. You can, but in the most aggravating way possible. To see a band member's stats, you have to flip their display picture over. But you can only flip over the display pictures of one band at a time. So instead of being able to conveniently shift your eyes from one band to another, you have to repeatedly flip one band's pictures over, hope you memorize their stats and then do the same to the 2nd band. Lather, rinse, repeat. Quality of lif…

Good concept but there just....isn't that much there, and it progresses too fast yet also way too slowly at the same time. I had the same band for 5 years and they only made 5 songs, but I could have a gig in Australia for tens of thousands of people. And there are MONTHS where you do nothing but press E (next week). You can't even practice during the down time because it can take 2-5 weeks to recover the energy. You also can't have 2 bands practice in the same week - I didn't try but I assume this is the same for gigs and album releases. When you initially sign a band, it shows you a skill bracket that they can max out at (up to 99 I think), but that disappears once you've signed them. So if you want to replace a band member, you can't compare them unless you can remember the skill bracket (which once you have more than one band, is really difficult). I also couldn't find any way to replace a front man and I had issues with a few of them. And there isn't a tour function, just singular gigs (or at least it didn't come up for me). I also found it weirdly hard to find the information I was looking for because of the UI set up and how loud most of the graphics and fonts are. Like, …

This game has so many issues at hand. Menus are horrible, can't get them to work or register when I want. The game is just very poorly executed. I suggest passing this one up.

Don't buy this game. Even though it's only 2 dollars it's not even worth that much. It's extremely confusing and it has a steep learning curve. Overall I hate it.

I do like this game, but it is a bit short. You can experience all of it in less than three hours (which is how long it took me to complete). I think that it would be cool to play in different decades and have events that effect you in different ways. Speaking of events, there are not enough for sure so that is something that should be added. The music in the game is quite repetitive and the sound effects get annoying after a while. Although with the amount of problems I have with the game, I feel like i could be a great game with some love.
