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 ### 3/5 — Good but... *2018-12-03* 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. ### 3/5 — Good Bones But.... *2018-06-29* 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. ### 3/5 — Middling quality *2017-10-13* 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. ### 2/5 — It's good, but not worth the price *2017-04-29, version 1.1.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Lacks length and depth *2017-01-04* Too short, not enough detail, and the choices are all kind of boring. Nothing seems to have much of an effect. It was interesting enough to play through once but I won't bother repeating it. Definitely not worth the money. ### 1/5 — No choice *2016-12-10* Choice of games Is wonderful because of the interactivity and the decisions. However, this was a short story not an interactive game. It was a short linear story that was able to be completed in less than an hour without any replay value. ### 2/5 — All the new free ones are lies *2016-09-26, version 1.1.2* These games used to be bad but at least they were free ### 4/5 — Good Game *2016-03-28* I really enjoyed this game but was disappointed that it didn't keep going. It was to short and I hope that in a future update more content can be added because it was really good! ### 3/5 — Not Worth It *2016-01-24* Like another reviewer, I purchased the game after the first three chapters' trial, thinking it would last me a while before moving on to another game. Not the case. Took maybe 30 minutes. Of course I can play again, but I'm not sure that I want to. ## Frequently asked questions about Choice of the Rock Star ### What is Choice of the Rock Star?
