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.

Lacks length and depth

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.

No choice

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.

All the new free ones are lies

These games used to be bad but at least they were free

Good Game

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!

Not Worth It

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.

Flawed, but enjoyable.

I though this choice game was fun and well written overall. The story starts strong but the sense of pacing starts to get out of whack towards the middle of the story and it felt like I was being fast-forwarded through the story. Many of the stats didn't seem to matter, and they changed erratically. My rockstar only had one night of partying and that pushed him surprisingly deep into bad boy territory for example. Still, besides some nit picks, it's a fun choice game.

Disappointed

Honestly I'm a little disappointed with this game. I'm a huge fan of the "Choice Of" games but this one fell short. The storyline was short and it felt like there was no variation. The multiple endings just seem to blend together. As a musician I felt like there should've been more on offer.

Disappointed

I was really excited for this one... Only to be really disappointed. This had real potential to be something amazing. Not saying it's terrible just that it could be better. It was far too short. I hope that an update comes out with more scenes.

Good beginning, but...

This game feels like it hasn't been thoroughly fleshed out. The story is fun and has you make decisions without focusing on silly things like reputation, while also allowing you to decide who is and isn't in the band, and the direction of said band. But, in the end, this game still took less than ten minutes to complete; there is nothing inherently wrong with this, except that you must pay to unlock the whole game. You can get a sort of trial before paying for chapters four through ten, and the first three chapters led me to believe that this would be an epic game of what it was like to be a rock star in ages past. This was not the case. Past choosing your band members, choosing a manager (or lack thereof), choosing if you want to sign a contract (or, again, if you don't), and your band's touring status, there arent very many decision that require depth, or even more than thirty seconds of consideration. And the fact that it ends just as you think it should be starting is a major disappointment. This game will hopefully have more additions in the future, and I will be waiting with bated breath.

Plot holes

Most choice of games stories are really good, however, this one seemed to not work if you took many paths. For example, you could have a hated rival without ever meeting them.

Disappointing

Whichever choices the player makes they're forced along the same linear storyline. There are points in the story when the player's allowed to make choices, but the game then overrides their agency and tells them that they've decided to do something else. Other features (such as cash) are poorly implemented and don't actual do anything. I'm normally a great fan of Choice of games, but there are considerably better options out there.

Not worth the price tag.

The story itself is a huge letdown. Clumsily written, a poor amount of choices, and far too easy/short to complete. You're better off going for one of their other less rushed stories. The ending was also extremely dissatisfying and seemingly random to your choices.

Decent

Decent until the end anyway. Very abrupt and unsatisfying ending. That and it was very short.

It may only cost $2 but that is far more than it is worth.

Very disappointed

I'm a huge fan of the Choice of series and I had high hopes for this game and the setting that it explores, but I was met with disappointment. It's a very short game, and didn't give as many options and changes to the plot as it could have. Not worth the buy, I unfortunately have to say.

Abrupt ending

The start was really good but as you read on it honestly gets worse for me and has less choices. Also the statistics barely change anything! And the ending was so abrupt that I didn't even expect it... And where was the climax?
