America's Next Top Model Game Review


I'm not a big video game person anymore, I kind of grew out of them.  BUT, when I saw this game in the store, I fell to the floor and was GAGGIN!!!!!

I have no idea what I was even doing in the video game aisle to begin with but that game to your left caught my eye with the quickness.  I am THE BIGGEST Top Model fan.  I've been waiting for a game to come out for the longest (those games you download on your mobile phone do not count).

I was so grateful that I had a Wii because if I didn't, no game for me.  So I bought this with the quickness.  This game had to be popular because they had to give me the one on display. Trust if they wouldn't have sold it to me I would have went to every game store i could until they sold it to me.

Now as far as the game goes, I must say I am somewhat disappointed.  First of all, how are you going to make a video game based off of Tyra Bank's show and not have her in it?  That confused the hell out of me.  I mean she is the creator of the show shouldn't she be in this game?  On top of not having Tyra, THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW, there was no Ms. J, no Jay Manuel, no Nigel, nobody important to the show.

As for your model, they have you choose between 4 generic, pre made models.  How boring is that?!  I was expecting a model creator where you get to create your model.  There is a big variety of clothing, hairstyles, makeup, personalities, you know something you would probably see in The Sims when you create a sim.  Being able to create your model would be one of the best feature of the game but the game lacks that.

I do like some aspects of the game though.  I like how you actually have to complete everyday tasks until the end of the week which is elimination day.  There is no skipping days you actually have to play out that entire day.  Elimination is based on a point basis. Through out the week the judges give you points based on fitness, if you're dressed to fit the theme of the week, the photoshoot and so on.  At the end of the week, you go to Elimination and walk the runway in clothes that fit the theme of that particular week.  Then the judges once again give you a final score based on fitness, your runway walk, hair and makeup, and whether your clothing fit the theme of the week.

The girl who has the least points for the week is eliminated.

There are makeovers but not like the show.  Every week there is a new theme like I mentioned earlier and just like you have to wear clothes that match the theme, you have to have a new style hair that matches the theme. The same applies with your make up.  And you can actually fight the other girls and not get eliminated. They actually make you fight them. That would have not happened in the show and we all know it.

This game is not as good as I thought it would be and nowhere near as close to the show how I would have liked it to be. While there were some aspects to the game I like, there are also some aspects I dislike. If I were to give this game a rating out of 5 I would give it a 2.
