Commentary
I don't have an iphone, so I haven't been able to try this game yet, but it looks pretty neat and creative. It also seems to promote the Dash brand too. I can't say I have ever been to Dash (only been to the Hollywood area once and that was back in 2001) considering that Dash doesn't seem to exist in the Seattle area, but I do work part time at Kohls, which is kind of like Dash in a way (retail clothing store environment) so I could almost relate to the Kardashians that way. By the way, Grad Theft Auto 5 also makes you feel like you are in LA too in a much bigger world and adventure.
Have you tried The Kim Kardashian Hollywood video game yet? Feel free to share your experiences with the game below.
Update (April 27, 2015)
I noticed that there is also a Facebook version of the Kim Kardashian Hollywood video game and to be fair (sadly I don't have an iphone or ipad, have a Windows Phone and Dell Tablet instead) I will play that version of the game and post a full review of it at a future date. Though I could share my first impressions of the Facebook version of the game in my next post.
Similar games: Grand Theft Auto 5 (you are basically in a virtual version of Southern California in that game too, barring some obvious differences).
Foods for thought:
1. My experiences in California.
I have only been to the Los Angeles area twice in my life. The first time was during the summer of 2001 and in 2006. In 2001, I had recently graduated from high school that year (at Jackson High School in Mill Creek) and for my senior trip, my family flew on a plane to the Los Angeles area. Highlights of that trip included:
- visiting Disneyland and staying there for a whole week (lots of time to see the many different rides and attractions they offer).
- Visiting universal studios in Hollywood
- Driving around the Hollywood and Beverly Hills area
- Driving up the Coast to Monterey via highway 101. Stopped a a beach near Santa Barbra (forgot the name of it) and San Luis Obiso along they way. Probably drove right past Calabasas that time on the freeway (obviously I didn't know anything about the Kardashians back then, at least not till the tv show started airing).
- Visiting my grandpa in Sacramento before flying home.
In 2006, my family did a road trip to the Los Angeles area. Stayed at my aunt's house in West Sacramento for a few days and then drove to Palm Desert and stayed at club intrawest there for a whole week. Afterwards, we visitied Disneyland again for a few days and then instead of taking Interstate 5 home, we went up 15 and visited Las Vegas (marked my first time there, we stayed at the Luxor casino / hotel that time)), Bryce Canyon, and Twin Falls, Idaho on the way home. By the way, I have been to the Sacramento on various occasions too, especially back when my grandfather was still alive (he passed away back in 2005), with the most recent trip being back in 2012 when I visited my aunt there.
2. I do have some experience working in the fashion industry myself (at least in the way), via Kohls. I can't say I have ever been to Dash retailers (the business Kim helps run) or similar retailers in Southern California, but I do have a part time job working at Kohls, usually working in the men's department, so I do have some experience when it comes to apparel and similar kinds of merchandise (even helped in the Misses and Juniors departments on more than one occassion). In the video game, your characther works in a clothing retailer, which I am quite familiar with.
