Rock Manager PC CD manage music business band stars create tour merchandise game Type: Game Platform: Windows Publisher: DreamCatcher Interactive, Inc. Released: 2002 Media: CD A tongue-in-cheek take on the music business, Rock Manager puts players in the role of a band manager and tasks them with creating the ultimate rock band. The game takes place in the fictional world of Rock City, where players begin by assembling a motley collection of musicians needed to fill the necessary slots in their band. The various musicians encountered will be rated in categories such as Star Quality, and each will have a different cost associated with them based upon their abilities. A god-sim in the vein of Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper, Rock Manager requires players to balance various factors in order to create a successful band. Record executives must be pleased and relationships must be maintained between the various members of the band, among a host of other trials and tribulations. Each of the scenarios presented task the player with completing specific objectives, such as making the daughter of the local mafia boss a star.Spanning eight original scenarios, players will need to do whatever it takes, from bribing the media to buying their own records, in order to make it to the top. Between all that, they'll need to name their band and record a song demo, which can be mixed in real-time by adding echo effects, adjusting volume, and selecting variations of the standard guitar, bass, and drum sections. Additionally, players will hire (and fire) musicians, shoot music videos, design record covers, buy gifts to keep the bandmembers happy, and eventually, embark on a world tour.For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
