Karaoke Revolution Games With Many Hits
By Nikos L Maxwell
Karaoke Revolution is a fun karaoke video game to play
on PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo GameCube.
In addition to the original game, several other versions
have been released, including Volume 2, Volume 3, Karaoke
Revolution Party, Country, American Idol and most recently,
American Idol Encore.
The first microphone was a Logitech headset compatible
with the PlayStations, Wii and Xbox 360. Future versions
of the game came with a standardized microphone that
can be used in Rock Band, Boogie and High School Musical:
Sing It as well.
The Karaoke Revolution for Xbox has a microphone that
plugs right into the memory card port on the controller
and the GameCube has a special microphone that plugs
into its memory card port, although it can be used with
Mario Party 6 too. If you have a SingStar microphone,
then you can probably use it for the PS3 version.
Play A Character Performing A Live Concert
If you like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, then you will
have a ball with Karaoke Revolution, in which you play
an on-screen character who is performing a live concert.
As with any video game character, you can customize
the outfits, hair color and other features to your liking.
The song lyrics will scroll right-to-left at the bottom
of the screen in traditional karaoke format, while a
pitch arrow shows whether you are in the correct range
or not. If you are singing your karaoke hits well, then
the audience will cheer for you and the crowd meter
will be through-the-roof! But watch out, because if
you are bombing, you just might get booed right off
stage!
A Large Range Of Hits To Tickle Your Fancy
The first Karaoke Revolution game promised to have
a song for everyone, and it did, from pop rock like
Simple Plan’s "Addicted" and Sugar Ray’s "Every
Morning" to classics like Percy Sledge’s "When
A Man Loves A Woman" and "You’re The One That
I Want" from the movie Grease.
Classic eighties songs like Pat Benatar’s "Hit
Me With Your Best Shot," Cyndi Lauper’s "Girls
Just Wanna Have Fun" and nineties favorites like
Hoobastank’s "Crawling In the Dark" and The
Black Crowe’s "She Talks to Angels" also made
an appearance. Volume 2 brought 35 more songs from artists
like The Police, Garth Brooks, Christina Aguilera, Three
Days Grace, Elvis, No Doubt, KISS, Otis Redding and
Lynyrd Skynyrd. With Volume 3, Michael Jackson, George
Michael, the B52’s, Hillary Duff, The Beatles, Liz Phair
and David Bowie offer up karaoke songs.
Extremely Popular And Well-Received
The Karaoke Revolution games have been extremely popular
and well-received. For example, 84% of the people who
bought the original Karaoke Revolution for PS2 and Xbox
loved it. Karaoke Revolution Volume 3 for PS2 had an
85% approval rating too.
Karaoke Revolution Party and Volume 2 received 81%
approval and the original American Idol had 78% approval
rating. The worst of the games were the two latest American
Idol Encore editions, which ranked in the 50s.
You will get the most out of the game if you review
your options and have a PS3 or an Xbox 360 because there
are nearly 200 exclusive karaoke downloads to add to
your game, including Billy Joel’s "Just the
Way You Are," Johnny Cash’s "I Walk
the Line," Kool & The Gang’s "Celebration"
and Steppenwolf’s "Born To Be Wild,"
to name a few.
