Great game and I have some suggestions

It’s a great and enjoyable game but I wish that it lasted longer than it did. It would be great if you drew out the story of the characters love life more. Plus when you have to choose an album
I have some suggestions for some more albums to choose
Paranoid by black sabbath
Freak out by mother’s of invention (frank zappa’s band)
A night at the opera by queen
My generation by the who
Also when you’re band is given a style like artsy, poppy or punk you should be able to choose the style and not be assigned the style

Good but...

I personally think you should have more choices. No matter what you do everything is the same basically. You always have to be the band leader, and the singer.
You should be able to join a band and not have to be the singer. Have more then one choice of the band members you hire.
When I went threw it the first time I wanted there to be duo lead guitarists (Me and a npc), a singer/ Rhythm guitarist, Bassist, Drummer, and a keyboardist.
When I did it again I wanted to be the drummer but not also a singer.

I also would have wanted to be more of a Glam/Hair metal band but well that didn’t work.

My point is that this story needs more choices.

Good Bones But....

I hope someone tries writing this type of story again, because it had the potential to be really good. It was just too short, with too few endings and things to work with.

Middling quality

If you’re looking for a choice of games story and haven’t played this one yet, it’s not bad. There are far better stories out there to start with though. I’d pick it up when it’s on sale.

It's good, but not worth the price

The story was nice enough but I feel like for 2.99 I've gotten much better stories from COG. They definitely need to drop the price on this one.
