This is a game I would strongly recomend for anyone looking for a game that can keep the attention of a small group of friends (up to 8 I believe). The game is fairly simple, pick a song you wish to sing (Next to Volume 1, Party in my opinion has the best song selection from mainstream artist Like Hilary Duff and Jimmy Eat World to older artists people love to Karaoke like Aha, and Billy Joel), and sing it, your score depends on how well you keep up with the song (you don't need to be a singer to play well, I'm living proof of that). Up to 8 players can have a competition singing. Theirs a bit more to it then singing, Their are 3 minigames that use your voice. Also for those Dance Dance Revolution fans, their is a singing and dancing mode where you sing while dancing on the DDR Pad. I dont own a DDR Pad so i'm not sure how that game play is, but i can also say the game is still tons of fun without it. Playing well on the songs unlocks more songs (approx 4 unlockable songs i believe), and items to further customize your character (you chose a character to sing in the background, not that it matters much for you will most likely be paying attention to lyrics and how must you sing). Overall, the game is great for Karaoke fans, still good for a party, and moderately good playing by yourself. The only person i wouldn t recomend this to would be those who arent comfortable singing around others and what not, for thats the main part of the game, singing. Also if your not really into Karaoke i would recomend a try (like a rental) before you buy. To Sum + Fun Party Game + Good Song Selection + More then just simply singing - Not for people who dislike Karaoke I give it an 8 out of 10Read full review
This is the complete song list. My main gripe is that a good portion of the songs are things I've never heard of. Seems as unless I watch american idol, or care what the 'disney-esque' stars do, I'm doomed to oldies. Also, some of these songs REALLY just aren't good "singalongs" Specifically (by #) 5, 7, 10 (just go "uh oh" 500 times, and you'll get a perfect score), 19, 31, 43 [can someone tell me who "fantasia" is? , & 44. Other cases, there were good songs, but those artists have MUCH better "singable" songs (jimmy eat world, billy joel, to name a few) The gameplay is great. Between the arcade modes, integration of DDR (although it would be nice if one of the challenges wasnt DDR+SINGING @ expert mode) 8 footing + singing a song is HARD. Good character customization, multiplayer (real multiplayer) support is awfully nice, too.. the * items have to be unlocked. I've mastered a couple of the songs at medium and expert. (50k on drive) the implementation of the eyetoy for character head generation is nice too. Overall game quality? 5/5 Overall music selection ? 3/5 Total, Therefore, is 4/5 1.

Great Game, unfortunately Lyrics are not included in the booklet, however still so fun to sing along too and invite friends over. One thing I wish they would do though is make the whole Game New Songs. I've noticed though that during the holidays are when they come out with the new ones (now that's Smart Marketing) so hopefully they will be implementing it from now on. I would have to say that the younger people are usually the ones buying the game so it should be more current Top 40 Songs (now that would be Even Smarter Marketing), But Hey It's Just My .02. Also This has the ALL-NEW Sing and Dance mode (supports DDR Dance Pad which is sold separatly), Now that makes it even more challenging, singing and dancing, but soooo fun! And you can Create a 3D Model of your head and see yourself perform on stage using the EYETOY USB Camera! And of course as usual you can customize your characters head, body shape, clothes and accessories! Here's the Songs that are Included...... (I've Had) The Time of my life (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman Ain't Nothing like the Real Thing Ain't too proud to beg Always American Woman Brick House Call Me Crazy Crazy In Love Do you really want to Hurt me Drive Dust In The Wind Endless Love Every Little Thing she does is magic Everybody wants to Rule the World Everywhere Fame Fly For you I Will Greatest Love of All Headstrong Here I go again I Don't want to be I left my Heart in San Francisco I Love Rock and Roll I will always Love You If you could only see I'll be Material Girl Me and Bobby McGee Pain Pieces of Me Play That Funky Music Start Me Up Superstition Sweet Caroline Take on Me Takin' Care of Business That's Amore The Game of Love Time After Time Truth Is Turn the Beat Around Unforgettable Uptown Girl Waiting for a girl like You What I like about You Who Can it be Now You're my best Friend Check out all my reviews, I wrote the songs included in each game so you won't be clueless of what you will get. VOTE YES if it helped, which I'm sure it did because noone else is listing the song titles. :-)Read full review
I really liked the 1st Karaoke revolution alot, I bought this one and it does have alot of songs, but it seems like they are mostly older songs, don't get me wrong there are definitely some good songs on here but some wierd ones too like that song that plays in the movie "Lady & The Tramp" when they are sharing the spaghetti...what's that all about? Although my sister & 14 yr old niece seem to like that one alot. Anyways there are alot of cool characters and clothes etc. So I am glaf that I bought this, it has already provided many hours of entertainment. I do reccommend getting two mics so you can sing duet(s).
I originally bought this game for my father-in-law, but had so much fun playing it at Christmas that I had to purchase a copy for myself. When I bought it, Karaoke Revolution Party Bundle was the latest in the line of Konami's products. (The Country version is now available.) The bundle comes with a microphone that works well. It's a regular usb microphone -- I imagine any usb mike could work with the game. The concept of the game is simple: outsing your opponent or sing alone to unlock cool prizes. The song mix is a nice variety -- there's a bit of something for everyone with songs from Madonna to Tony Bennett. Users can hook up their dance mats for sing and dance mode (DDR meets Karaoke), which looks like fun, but requires more coordination than I possess. In addition to the competitive mode, users can set the game up in party mode, as well as full-screen karaoke mode. The only negative about full-screen mode is that you can't change the background. The many different game modes provide a myriad of choices -- I haven't even played everything yet. The number of choices is a strength of the game. Users unlock new characters, songs, and costumes by scoring well within the songs. I even enjoy creating and dressing my characters. My favorite costume that I've unlocked is a giant cat suit. The game's sense of humor is slyly funny. Overall, this is a great game that has provided many hours of fun entertainment.Read full review
