I love singing games. I still bust out my PS2 and my copies of SingStar whenever I have a party. So when I found out that there were karaoke games on the 360 I couldn't pass up the chance to own them. That was that started my love/hate relationship with the Karaoke Revolution series of games.
While I LOVE that I can get achievements and the games provide a bit of a challenge, I HATED the horrible customization. I LOVE how massive the song selection and DLC is, but I HATE the fact that all the songs were covers and not the master tracks.
Don't get me started when they added the whole American Idol brand on top of it.
Will the next version of Karaoke Revolution fix all the problems we've had? Would KR and I be able to rebuild our relationship? Let's find out.
The 1st thing I noticed was that Karaoke Revolution had finally dropped the American Idol name. No more Simon, Randy, and Paula. Doing so gave them a lot more money in the budget and it shows. The character creation has gone from selecting pre-made heads, to full on face and body morphing. That's not all, players can now create thier own venues complete with lights, pyro, and music videos on LCD screens. Oh, did I mention that they no longer use cover songs? All the songs and videos are master tracks.
Well Karaoke Revolution, looks like we might have a bright future after all. Watch the video for a walk through, including details on the multiplayer features.
Look for Karaoke Revolution out this November.
