 Very fun game!! January 27, 2003

The most fun PC game I have played in a long time! The characters are very humorous (some cuss a lot, this is not for kids) and being able to mix songs in the studio is a definite plus. It has every aspect of the rock music business, from choosing band members, recording and mixing songs, album cover design, public relations, marketing, booking concerts, band interaction, touring, scandals and rehab. My only complaint with this game is that the eight different scenarios are a little too easy. I really hope someone creates another game like this involving the rap or country music business. I highly recommend this!

I first ever played rock manager when i was 11. (last year,2003). My friend had bought it and said "dude, you gotta come check this game out"!. So i said ok, ill be right over. I already knew my friend had good taste in games because he introdueced me to such games as the GTA series and For instance the sims. So when i got to his house, i rushed upstairs. We turned on rock manager and at first look i said. Oh great, another role playing game. But then i started to get into it. And before i knew it, it was 12 o clock at night and we had been playing it since 4. So.... When i got home the next, I begged my mom to buy it for me, and she did, and so far, it has gotten old or boring one bit. 5 out of 5 for this one. GREAT GAME!

This game can be had for fairly cheap, and I highly recommend getting it. as a rock manager you get a variety of different missions(get the rich producers ugly daughter a recording contract, help an 80s band make a successful comeback without breaking up) that involves a cast of funny cliche band members(including the Oasis inspired Golander brother). Also you mix the songs they record often with very funny results.In the end this game gives you enough options so that it is replayable, and entertaining enough to be worth the low amount it will cost.

Rock Manager is an insanely fun game where you can take a band of headbanging thrashers or soda-drinking popstars and do pretty much what you want with them. Everything is possible, from scheduling live concerts, to staging the misfortunate deaths of your sometimes annoying band members. Seriously, you will be amazed at just how many things are possible in this game. Rock Manager is not the king of graphics, realistically speaking, but the colorful character animations and the brilliant songs give the game tremendous personality. Musically speaking, there's something here for everybody. Pop, rock, dance, metal, it's all there. However, there are only 8 rather easy objective-based missions, and a ninth one that pretty much lets you do your own thing. This shortens the lifespan of the game, as after a few days you'll find that the number of performers and songs at your disposal are sadly limited. In that case, all you can do is wait and hope for a Rock Manager 2. Besides that, there seems to be nothing wrong with this magnificent game, and I highly recommend you give it a shot.
