If you can plug in your Kinect, pop this disc into the Xbox 360, load the game and then
successfully position yourself in one of its onscreen silhouettes, congratulations.
You’re officially more talented than anyone who is actually in this game.
Ugh, this is like putting Tom Hanks in Plan Nine From Outer Space.
For those
of you with bad taste, Plan Nine From Outer Space is a hilariously terrible movie from
1959...and Tom Hanks is a real actor.
Since you’re here watching a video review of Yoostar on MTV, I’m assuming—just a
hunch—that applies to some of you.
I mean, how are these morons even on television?
Yes, you are Mr. Situation.
Yes, you are.
Perhaps the simplest description of Yoostar on MTV is that it puts uncreative people who
never achieved fame in the shoes of uncreative people who somehow and unfortunately did.
You act out popular scenes from your favorite MTV programs—that is, if you have any—and
the Xbox 360’s Kinect sensor captures the entire catastrophe.
There are more than 80 scenes for you to star in, spanning an intellectual breadth of programming
ranging from the Jersey Shore to the Hills.
There is also a limited choice of music videos to do some video karaoke to, but you can only
perform a small portion of the songs...and far as I can tell, there are no actual musicians
in the game.
Fortunately, there is The State.
As a singing game, this is about as meritless as the so-called artists it includes.
As a Yoostar game with MTV programming, it succeeds.
The only issue is...is that the kind of goal you want your games to strive toward?
If so, you’ll be thrilled to know you can be in a scene next to Snooki.
If not, you can fist-pump your way past Yoostar on MTV.
Believe me, you’re not missing anything.
This isn’t even Poker Face.
