What American Idol is
American Idol is a music game developed by Mobius Entertainment and released in 2003. It was published by Codemasters. It is available on Game Boy Advance only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
American Idol is a music-based, rhythm-action game that will allow you to create, style, and train a contestant for the competition. Once styled and trained you'll see your contestant progress through the auditions, various heats, and then, hopefully, make it to the grand final. You'll need quick fingers as you match the right combination of buttons to what's displayed on the screen helping your contestant sing a sweet harmony and dance to the rhythm of the song. Get it wrong and your voice fades and goes out of tune as the judges and later the audience grow unsettled.
How it plays
It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
