Shining Star is a social game on Facebook that portrays the life of
an ambitious girl (or boy, which depends on your choice) who dreams of
becoming a successful professional model.
The game is developed by ChangYou’s social game team behind games like Lucky Supermarket and Tales of Spirit.
They take every job available from the companies, for example, the ad company, where they run errands in efforts to help advertisement shooting in the studio. Those jobs provide the coins you need to buy clothes and furniture and to hire professionals for promotional activities that aim at enhancing your popularity and attracting the attention of more fans.
All the companies, stores and even recreational places are located on a rotatable (though not allowing for a 360 degree spin) map where players click and drag the map to check other places they might be interested in. And all those places are impressive: for example, you click the door to a furniture store to enter it, check clothes on models in display and try them to see whether they are great on you, and enjoy drinks and gamble with others at the bar.
Those details promise fun during the gaming experience but as it turns out, the gameplay in Shining Star fails to be equally entertaining and intriguing. Like many social games that put the life of people in fashion industry into focus, Shining Star attach great importance to how players deck up their avatars with clothes and accessories. Players spend most of the money they’ve earned on the clothes that would be suitable for this or that occasion.
Moreover, the jobs they do are anything but interesting. For example, at the ad company, one just click upon the blue spots and confirm to do the specific actions, including turning on the spotlight, pressing shutter, starting to work on the laptop, and turning on the hairdryer. Although limitless jobs are offered at the very company, all you do is repeat those steps in predetermined orders and for different times.
For what it’s worth, Shining Star introduces breezy additions to a traditional gameplay, but it didn’t offer attracting innovations on the basic gaming contents. And it is just a matter of time that you get bored and give it up.

Starting as a green hand in the fashion industry, players will find they just come to a big city of possibilities and move into a small apartment. They purchase furniture and place them inside the apartment and make it as beautiful and comfortable as they like it. And they can invite their friends to come over or visit their places instead.They take every job available from the companies, for example, the ad company, where they run errands in efforts to help advertisement shooting in the studio.
