Kim Kardashian: Hollywood!?

Seriously though, why is everyone and their mother playing this game?

After seeing thousands upon thousands of screencaps of this game on tumblr, instagram and basically every other social media site, I figured I would see what made this game so popular anyway. Since its release, it has already climbed up charts to become the 2nd most downloaded free game in the US app store, and the reason is obvious.
Frankly, the game is addictive. The premise is simple enough - Kim Kardashian is guiding you on your journey to stardom, from an E-lister to an A-lister, and that's where the appeal is. Who doesn't want to be popular, right? She gives you advice on how to achieve your desired popularity (being an A-lister), and you follow this advice to do well in the game.
You can go through with in-app purchases if you want to gain cash quicker, but I'm honestly not that into the game. I can definitely see why people are into this game, and I doubt I'll delete the app any time soon but it's extremely similar to every other "lifestyle" game out there and for that reason alone I don't think it stands out too much.

Final Verdict: I rated this game 5 stars in the appstore simply because it was mindless fun, and I didn't expect any more than that. Some people may be extreme enough to put a lot of money into it but I don't think the game is that good. Personally, I find that it's a fun way to spend free time so for that reason alone I rated it high.
