What do you do when your movie career is heading nowhere, you’ve become the butt of jokes of comedy writers, or worse, an object of pity as a “former child actor gone horribly wrong” cautionary tale? Why come up with a branded mobile game or app of course? The latest to enter the fray, after Kim Kardashian’s extremely successful Hollywood game, is Lindsay Lohan with her “Price of Fame” app, now available on Android.
Lest you think the game will be all complicated and confusing, it’s actually pretty simple (well, on the surface that is). All you have to do is swipe upwards on the screen and if you swipe as fast as you can, the more fans you get and the more coins you’ll unlock at the end of each level. You’ll then be able to use the coins to get further ahead in terms of status and lifestyle.
But if you look deeply (well, as deep as you can get when reviewing mobile games), there is a certain cynical and hard-edged quality to the game, poking fun at the things the media and people in general find fascinating about celebrities. You can upgrade to ridiculous items like butt implants, stints in rehab, and even to the point of faking your death for popularity. You can also buy entourage members like your weed dealer and if you’re narcissistic enough, a clone of yourself.
But even if it’s all fun and games, there’s a possibility that Lindsay Lohan will be laughing her way to the bank, if it becomes as successful as Kim K’s. There are in-app purchases and ads galore that you will probably accidentally click on, especially if you’re swiping fast. You can download Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame from the Google Play Store for free from the Google Play Store.
