We have had such great fun with this one. It does go easy on the judging but since there are not a lot of recent songs the kids know, I am glad for that. That being said, I wish there were more songs. We have already unlocked the extra songs. I wish there were more of the recent songs also. While for us adults, Bohemian Rhapsody is a fun song to try these songs are difficult for younger children to sing. The song selection seems more geared toward the 35-45 crowd.

If you've played some of the other Karaoke Revolution games before, the format for this title will be very familiar to you. I have Karaoke Revolution Party for the Gamecube, and this game is very comparable to that title. Interesting American Idol videos showing past contestants' performances can be unlocked by achieving various goals.
My only complaint is that you apparently are able to download more songs on the X Box and Playstation versions, but not the Wii. Given that the Wii can connect to the Internet, I don't understand why this feature was left out.
Most importantly, here is a list of the 40 songs available. Three of them (More Than a Feeling, Over the Rainbow, and What is Love) have to be unlocked by achieving various platinum record amounts. There is a cool menu feature under "Extras" that show all the unlockable items and what is required to get them.
"Black Hole Sun" - Soundgarden
"Black Velvet" - Alannah Myles
"Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen
"Close My Eyes Forever"

I've been a huge fan of Karaoke Revolution for a long time, I have Volume 3 and American Idol for the Playstation 2, and Party for the Gamecube.
My best guess is that this edition of KR was put together by a completely different team, because it is a huge step backward in the franchise. In many ways, the game is much like Volume 3, which is a 3 game step into the past.
The first KR:AI game allowed for tons of character customization, it was easy to make a character that looked just like you. This version is similar to Volume 3 in that there are simply a collection of pre-made characters that you cannot adjust for the most part. You can change their clothing, but hair is the only physical characteristic that is modifiable. Even the system for modifying characters is poor, it's even worse than in Volume 3, a much older game. You can also rename the characters, but you cannot copy them. This means that two people cannot play using the same character model.
The menu system is also really
