Kim Kardashian: Hollywood
Posted By admin On 28.02.20. Pros Stylish art. Surprisingly clever writing. Addictive and fun. Cons In-app purchases.
Shallow gameplay. Buggy social connectivity. Bottom Line Kim Kardashian Hollywood is shallow, addictive fun, just like everything about actual Hollywood.
Kim Kardashian Hollywood (free) is an Android game (also available for iPhone) about playing dress-up, making a lot of money, and crushing your rivals in California—so basically, it's exactly like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Alternately, it's a shallow cash-grab and a sign of everything that's wrong with our society, a harbinger of the end of real gaming. Or maybe it's just some dumb fun to break up your work day.
The KKH Experience Right from the start it's obvious that Kim Kardashian Hollywood is about The Look—the first task in the game is to decide how your avatar will look, with options to customize hair, eye, and skin tones, hairstyle, and a selection of basic outfit options. Don't worry, though, because you'll be slim and gorgeous no matter what.
Knows her audience. The female avatar options are glamorous, and the male avatars are, frankly, a little goofy looking. Whether Kim is setting you up on a date or finding you your next modeling gig, the gameplay is the same. You tap various actions on screen, like Check Makeup or Flirt, that take varying amounts of energy but pay off in money, experience, and professional stars or romantic hearts to complete the event. Eventually your energy—the capacity of which goes up as you gain levels—runs out, and then the great genius horror of modern mobile gaming sets in: You have to wait.
It takes five minutes to regain one point of energy. Awful, right? Well, if you're really impatient, you can buy more energy with stars. Oh, how do you get stars? Well, you can get one or two every time you gain a level, and occasionally after completing events, or, of course, you can just pay for them with real actual human dollars. Come on, you knew getting famous isn't free.
It is possible to play Kim Kardashian Hollywood without spending a dime, but the temptation to shell out for more stars is hard to resist. Want to adopt that cute kitty outside your apartment? Well, that kitty demands 20 stars.
Want the most stylish clothing and hair? Those are going to be a lot of stars. One particularly snazzy dress costs 120 stars, and 105 stars will set you back $9.99. Want to make your social interactions go more smoothly? Want to chat up A-listers more quickly? Even if you have saintly patience or tight purse strings (the nice purses cost stars, by the way), the game goes on.
The, Ahem, 'Plot' There is a story to your climb up the Hollywood ladder. You have a manager who is baffled by technology, a publicist with anger issues, and a socialite rival who tweets about how your rise to fame is obviously a conspiracy (#Illuminati #Obamacare). The random people you can meet to network or flirt with also have things to say, frequently with oddly nerdy, sci-fi references. I think some clever nerd(s) were behind the writing in Kim Kardashian Hollywood, and I salute their efforts, because giggling at my clueless manager saying, 'I'm DTF with that,' is part of what keeps me playing. Those randos that you can network and flirt with can add to your fame. Call in a makeup artist for your photo shoot, and you can get a few extra points and actions with him. Go on a date with someone—male or female, Kim K.
Puts no limits on the sexuality spectrum!—and that'll make you a hotter property. The game offers the option to connect to your Google+ and Facebook accounts so you can brown-nose with your friends instead of imaginary in-game people for some mutual fame-fluffing, but I was never able to make this feature work.
It's lonely in Hollywood sometimes. Living the High Life What's the end-game? Having it all, of course. After about a week of playing Kim Kardashian Hollywood on Android (and an expenditure of $9 of real American money), I have a great haircut and am at the top of the A-list. However, there are still beach houses for me to buy and furnish, and more of the storyline to unfold. I know the imaginary SUV I can park in the garage of my imaginary condo means nothing, and I know the storyline is just going to be me waiting for three-hour stints here and there to tap on things at a photo shoot or to see what the imaginary Twitter reaction is to my imaginary photo shoot. But, who cares?
Kim Kardashian: Hollywood Hacks
I'm having fun. I get to put on fancy clothes and hiss, 'Don't you know who I am?' At a C-list dentist. Sometimes Kim Kardashian calls me.
It's a great way to break up the work day.
