Game Overview

KARAOKE REVOLUTION has everything the Playstation version had plus more. Players aren’t even limited by the song list thanks to Xbox Live support. KARAOKE REVOLUTION turns your living room into a karaoke bar complete with crowd, music critics, and over 70 songs. The game judges singers on timing and pitch. You don’t have to read music, though; the height and length of a line indicate how high to sing and how long to hold each note. A practice mode will get even the most musically-challenged singer up to speed quickly. Several different modes are available. In arcade mode, you select three songs to sing in an attempt to get the highest score possible. Showtime mode sends you down the path of a pop star, asking you to sing certain songs in increasingly bigger venues, eventually leading to a full-blow concert. For a party, the Karaoke Competition mode is available. Up to eight players can compete in a tournament to see who the next neighborhood idol is.

The Bottom Line

The first karaoke video game for the Xbox to include a vocal analyzer that measures the pitch and rhythm of a player's voice, Karaoke Revolution will feature more than 45 songs, including chart-topping hits like "Billie Jean", "Like a Virgin", and "Celebration", as well as 10 classic Motown hits from the original artists' recordings -- exclusive to the Xbox. Gamers can also download new music (for a fee) and create friends lists via Xbox Live support.

A cool piece of technology, and it definitely has the potential to be a lot of fun, especially in a crowd setting. If you're a fan of karaoke, or think that enough of the songs on the disc are appealing, you'll certainly have fun with the game.

A surprising amount of detail from a game that shouldn't be so visually distracting.

Not a deep game nor should it be. It's more like Karaoke Plus and does its job well.
