During the past few months, my friends and I have been very interested in music video games and have spent many Friday afternoons and evenings playing them. This one has not been one of our favorites.
First of all, there is no option to buy this game without the bundled USB microphone which adds to the cost. I already own multiple microphones from other singing games I have purchased and really didn't want any more. This one also felt cheaper and lighter compared to some other ones, such as the Rock Band microphone.
I was also disappointed, because the tracks are not sung by the original artists but rather third parties. If I am going to spend $70 on a game, I would prefer to at least have the original tracks to listen to instead of some other unknown singers, especially for songs I don't know and am being introduced to by the game.
The characters, which are not a huge part of the game, nevertheless are all kind of ugly. This makes it more difficult for my me and my friends to choose

great entertainment for the entire family. Compete against each other and let Randy, Paula and Simon critique. When in the competition mode, reveal a new American Idol.

Having already played the two previous Karaoke Revolution games for the oringal Xbox, this is a good and acceptable progression in the series. The comments from the American Idol cast adds a nice touch. Fans of the show will like it. The included songs are decent. I hope the downloadable content adds value to this game. Overall, if you like the Karaoke Revolution series you won't be dissapointed.
As one other reviewer mentioned, the bundeled mic is a bit cheap. But it works.

When the singing in Rock Band is just not enough.
I am an Avid Singer, I am ranked pretty high on rock band in vocals. In the top 200 overall and top 5 in a few songs. Needless to say I was very much looking forward to this game. I actually got a ps3 for the new sing star game coming out. Nuff said on that.
So here are the pro's of the game.
+it feels very much like you are in an American Idol atmosphere. I would never try out for the show cus well I would be scared to make a fool out of myself on TV. SO I can do it in the privacy of my own home and with a few friends.
+The Song Selection is a great START. If Konami and the maker of the game live up to the "100's of downloadable songs" I will say this game is going to be great.
+the sheer magnitude of options playable in this game are amazing. There
are many options for Solo and Multiplayer. The best part is that there is Multiplayer avail online for tournaments. IMHO one of the short falls of rock band is that Online play is just playing.
