Reach for the stars. Climb every mountain higher. Reach for the stars. Follow your heart's desire. Do-do do-do-do do...

Sorry to put that S Club 7 classic in your head for the rest of the day. But don't blame us: blame TAG Games, which is publishing a new mobile game called Reach For The Starz.

Although not based on S Club 7, it lets you follow a similar path to pop stardom as Rachel, Bradley, Jo, Thingy, Wotsit, Dibble and Grub.

You start as a struggling musician, and have to work your way up pop's greasy pole, setting up PR stunts, sorting your image out and partying harder than Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan and Sarah Harding combined.

It includes four mini-games to play to help you on your way, as you progress through 20 different locations. You can buy 30 items and unlock 12 awards along the way too.

Reach For The Starz will face stiff competition from Namco's upcoming X-Factor game, not to mention Gameloft's already-out Pop Superstar.

Still, TAG's game, developed by Digital Goldfish, is looking pretty nifty, so let battle commence!
