Released on June 25th, reality star Kim Kardashian has her own mobile app. The game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood can be accessed through iOS and android phones. The game basically revolves around creating your own celebrity character that gets to mingle and hang out the very own Kim Kardashian, while climbing the social ladder of fame. Although the app itself is free, in-game purchases has predicted to raise a revenue of $200 million dollars this year. So the next time you buy 50 Kim Stars, just remember that your money is going to the worthwhile cause of keeping the Kardashian family wealthy and bootylicious. I decided to play the game myself as an ironic and humorous gesture, but I’m now hooked; these are a few things I have encountered in the past couple of weeks.
You either flirt or you network.
First things first, nothing is the realest. If Kim Kardashian: Hollywood has taught me anything, you have to fake it to make. But who am I kidding, we’re talking about a phone app that was made to let us plebs feel as if we can hang with the likes of Kim Kardashian (while Kim is probably sitting in her Miami home sipping on Moet and watching her bank account numbers shoot up like fireworks on the fourth of July).
Feel free to explore your sexuality
Kim Kardashian should get a high five for this one because the mobile app actually allows you to choose who you want to date and flirt with regardless of their sex.
This game requires more commitment than any long term relationship you have ever been in.
Catch me playing on the bus, in the line at Starbucks, before bed, you name it. If my energy is full, this A-lister needs to get her fans what they want, my appearance at the next fashion week event.
For those of you that haven’t played the game before, your character has to complete various tasks and goals in order to develop your career and reach A-list celebrity status. The only catch is that you have a time limit of when you must complete the task and you only have a certain amount of energy that recharges over time.
There are celebrity lookalikes
Money grows on trees or you could just punch birds.
You’ve got five minutes left to finish your runway show, half a star away from finishing, and one energy left to spare –and if you’re as hooked as I am, you’re panicking. But hey, Kim understands your frustration and has let you choose your fate in two ways: you could make an in-app purchase and recharge your energy with a simple tap and enter of your iTunes password, or you could travel around in the game tapping on trees, shrubs, birds and skateboards, hoping that money and energy falls out. Now if only real life were that easy…
Fly to Miami at the price of $35
This is one thing that really had me curious: the conversion rates of currency in the game with US dollars. I don’t know how many of you have noticed this but it costs $2 to bus to Downtown LA, $20 to bus to Calabasas, and $35 to fly from LAX to JFK. Kim Kardashian herself better be driving the bus to Calabasas if it costs 10x the bus fare to Downtown LA.
Willow Pape is a bitch and Dirk Diamonds is an asshole.
Just like real life, the game sets you with characters that just don’t seem to get along with you. Asides from the main rivals, Willow and Dirk, everyone else also seems to think they are better than you. Kim gives us great insight of what Hollywood is like, a huge egotistical mess of “you are all gutter trash and I’m easily comparable to Jesus.” But like any A-lister would, you (leave quietly.) and brush off these peasants, keeping on with your fabulous virtual life and attend to the Pop Glam spread that you need to finish in 13 minutes and 5 seconds.
If you actually read the dialogue it gets pretty ridiculous.
Your rise to fame will not include a sex tape and marrying a pompous rapper.
Or maybe you do but none of us have gotten that far in the game yet.
Tell Us:
Have you played the game? If yes, what did you think?
