Summary

And now games players and fans of the TV show get the chance to manage their own Fame Academy hopeful in a brand new simulation game for PC.

There will also be 20 showbiz professionals on hand to teach your singer a variety of skills and some 80 dance steps.
Your career will also span 14 concert missions, each of which will be based in spectacular locations such as Las Vegas and Woodstock, as you perform 14 well known tracks by big names such as Sophie-Ellis Bextor. Texas, Donna Summer, Ms Dynamite, Elton John, Daniel Bedingfield and Lionel Richie.
There’s plenty to do, and it’s a great representation of the TV original.
