TV Superstars

On TV Superstars you can take part in different TV shows and reach fame. As you progress in the game, your face will be seen on magazines, billboards and TV ads. There are 6 different shows: frockstar, Let's Get Physical, Big Beat Kitchen, DIY RAW, Let's Get Physical Reloaded and the Super Television Acting Agency.

frockstar: the objective is being successful as a model. You will have to dress yourself with clothes, apply make up to your face and hit the catwalk for a fashion show.

Let's Get Physical: physical challenges are waiting for you. You will run on a giang spinning wheel trying to avoid being hit from a robotic money waring boxing gloves, load yourself into a giant catapult and hit targets in certain body positions, and even hit a giant robot with your body.

Big Beat Kitchen: it's a food show in hip hop style. You'll have to prepare recipes for american pancakes, fajitas, curry and italian spaghetti. You will also need to rap with the show host to become a top chef.

DIY RAW: you'll be able to make a extreme makeover on different apartments. On the living room, remove plaster from walls with a hammer and paint the walls. On the kitchen, cut up some wood with your saw to finish the floor and paint some tiles and fix them onto the wall. Next, you will have to select the new furniture before the owners of the house return. Everything you do must be according to the profile of the home owners, and they will be your judge.

Let's Get Physical Reloaded: in the same style of Let's Get Physical, but with different challenges. shoot dools of the TV hosts with tennis balls, and play a game similar to paint by numbers with a paintball.

Super Television Acting Agency (STAA): this is where you record TV commercials. Practice your acting skills to sell different products, from toilet cleaner to soccer shoes, and record a line to go along with your ad. Once you successfully recorded a commercial, it may be played occasionally when you play other shows, with your face, voice and signature on it.

Each show, except STAA, have up to 4 different options (cities/recipes/apartments). There are currently no expansions available on the PS Store.

You can play this game in a singleplayer mode, or in multiplayer mode with up to 4 players at the same time. A Move motion controller is required for each player, and the navigation controller isn't necessary for this game. The maximum resolution of TV Superstars is 720p.

There are many 'guest' characters available, but you may create your own with your face, voice and signature! The game uses the Eye camera to take 3 pictures of your face (normal, happy and angry), the Eye microphone to record a catchphrase and you write your own signature or autograph on the screen with the Move controller. After these steps, you can customize skin colors, head shape, haircut and so on.

There are 50 trophies available, and all of them are extremely easy to achieve, but some of them require 3 or 4 players. To have an idea, you get the "Getting Started in the Fame Game" trophy just to play the game once. The golden trophies, such as "Ultimate TV Superstar!", can be achieved in a single day of heavy gameplay.

The games for the Move require some calibration, but usually at the beginning of the game. With TV Superstars, you must calibrate the Move controller each and every time you play a different show.

And the loading times... Well, are way above the average. You have to wait the game to load for everything: to start a show, to start playing in the show, to end a show, to go back to the lounge, and so on. If you are not patient, you probably won't like this game. If you are playing with little kids, they will get bored and may lose focus during the loading periods.

Despite the calibration and loading issues, the games/shows are extremely fun and are not hard to play. The game is suitable for all kind of people, from kids to seniors, and is great for parties. Everybody will have a blast when they see a commercial with somebody they know, and just the process of creating a new character is worth the fun.

Great option of game if you are looking for something to help you keep your family members closer to each other.

If you are looking for an entertaining and fun game, suitable for all ages, this is the game for you.

One user mentioned that this game was geared towards teen girls. I disagree! Though this game is very family friendly, it can be fun for any age! My boyfriend had some friends over and they had a blast making everyone's character and recording catchphrases. The guys also had a good laugh over the fashion show game-- seeing their photos on characters wearing ridiculous outfits. Such a great group game.... good icebreaker for get-togethers. Just too funny! We love TV Superstars!!

I bought this Game for the Move since my Daughter loved playing the Demo that came with the Bundle.

She loves the full game even more... Create your in game avatar using 3 pictures taken with the Eye (Normal, Happy and Mad faces) and then you speak and record your own catch phrase or greeting which is saved and used for each game.

The games are fun and replayable, but I hope they have some add on content soon that would make this game even better.
