TV Superstars uses the Playstation Move controller in what amounts to the new version of almost mindless button mashing. If you’ve ever played a Wii party game then these controls will be very familiar to you. They consist of a lot of mimicking and following along. Occasionally, there are buttons that need to be pressed, usually the trigger or the PS move button. There are also some audio prompts to be said, while acting of course. But these don’t seem to be rated in any way at all.

The premise of TV Superstars is that each player wants to be the next big thing in TV acting stardom and in order to do that you need to build yourself up from the wanna be’s on the Z-list and shoot for A-list mega-stardom. Pushing your star higher and higher is a full time job and so you have to show up on several different TV shows and give good performances. The better the performance the more points you get and the higher your fortunes rise.

Each show has a specific theme, adrenaline games, do-it-yourself, cooking, acting and strutting your stuff on the catwalk. They all require you to move the controller in various ways to achieve the goal. Some of the controls are extremely sloppy and many of them are far from interesting.

  • Frockstar - Walk the catwalk and move the controller to match the on-screen gestures
  • Let’s Get Physical - Adrenaline show where you have to shoot (usually), run and jump via Move controller motions.
  • Big Beat Kitchen - follow the recipes by moving the controller as directed. Consists of picking up objects, using them, and following prompts from the rapping chef whom you must imitate.
  • DIY Raw - Makeover a living space in a very short time. Follow the directions on screen.
  • Let’s Get Physical Reloaded - All shooting of a gun here with paintballs. Aim and fire.
  • STAA - Super Television Acting Agency - Follow the prompts including speed and direction as well as the occasional button press and audio prompt.
 Our Rating for TV Superstars Review (PS Move)
5.0
Replay
I don�t even know that this would be fun with friends as the controls are just so blah and I see little reason to pick it up again.
7.0
Graphics
Cartoon graphics that, no matter how hard you try, won�t make your face look good on them or really keep your interest.
7.0
Sound
Over the top voice acting fits perfectly in the series of reality shows you�ll play in. But the constant prompting of the woman on the main screen is bloody annoying.
4.0
Gameplay
Waggle your controller, follow gestures, mash buttons. It�s all very derivative of Wii party games. Almost no original thought here, plus they�re often sloppy and in accurate.
6.0
Multiplayer/Online Content
I don�t see this being loads of fun with friends as it�s not all that much fun with just one person.
6.0
Overall
I feel like they hired away some Wii party game designers and said "make that for the PS3 move system" and they did just about that. It�s not terrible but not all that interesting. Derivative and not at all well-executed.
