Arguably the key to the success of Ubisoft’s best-selling Imagine range is each title’s ability to explore and emulate the common fantasies of young girl gamers.
The latest addition to this million-selling series adds another potential career to the roster. Imagine Movie Star allows girls to get a taste of the glamour and fun of being a Hollywood celebrity – an aspiration shared by virtually every young girl around the country.
The object of the game is for players to maintain their status as an A-list celeb, rewarding them with invitations to elegant parties, the opportunity to hang out with other celebrities, or simply get snapped by the paparazzi at a nightclub or on a hot date.
As with similar Imagine titles, the extensive customisation options cover the film star’s hair style and colour, as well as their clothing. They are even able to create designs with the stylus and apply them to their outfits.
These options even extend to the celebrity’s home, which can be redecorated and improved as the game progresses. As girls accumulate more fame, the rooms of their home become ever more lavish and extravagant, reflecting the wealth they now own.

However, to earn such riches and remain at the centre of the spotlight, players will have to manage their career carefully. Stars will be able to choose which movies they want to appear in, what roles they want to take and arrange photoshoots and interviews to raise their profile.
THE LAY OF THE BRAND
Business-savvy starlets will even be able to use their fame to create a successful brand, that can then be applied to magazines, clothing lines and other merchandise. They will also be able to hire new members to their entourage, choosing from a range of applicants to fill the roles of manager and stylist. Only by selecting the right people will they be able to make it to the top.
For all their hard work, they will be able to relax in a manner befitting celebrities. As well as attending fabulous parties and red carpet premieres, they can head to the swankiest nightclubs and even
begin dating one of a range of Hollywood hunks.
