I played Karaoke Revolution on the PS2 a lot (I love doing karaoke) and enjoyed it. But, I have a Wii, so I was excited when Karaoke Revolution came out for the Wii.
The simplest way to describe Karaoke Revolution is "Match the pitch and timing of the song to score points." When you choose a player, and choose a song, the song scrolls across the bottom of the screen. Above the song's lyrics, the game shows a simplified music staff with empty note tubes. These tubes indicate a pitch for the phrase.
You fill the note tubes by singing the correct pitch at the correct time into the microphone (you may transpose the song up or down an octave if necessary). After a few phrases, the game shows a mark on the display---and the more notes you hit correctly, the higher you score.
If you enjoy karaoke, this game is a lot of fun. The game even has what it calls "True Duets", where 2 people (2 microphones needed). With True Duets, two people each sing a part.

We play this game at family get togethers and we love it. The adults and the kids have a great time singing, then listening to the comments from the judges. There are maybe 30 or so songs, but there is a good mix of songs that the adults know and newer ones that the kids enjoy. In fact, we enjoyed this game so much, we decided to kick it up a notch, so I'm shopping for Rock Band.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my children to use with Wii boxing game. The gloves were fairly useless. When wearing them, you are unable to press any of the controls on the controllers as they are tucked into the back of the boxing glove ( on the back of your hand). My kids have used them twice ( tops!). don't bother. Boxing game is more fun without them.

these gloves aren't worth the money. it is very hard to get your controller into the glove and once it is in you can't use any of the buttons for power punches.

Easy to use microphone(s) with nice long cords. Two players can sing at once; however not if you want them to sing two different things such as duets or battling in American Idol Karaoke Revolution. So you would have to buy two microphones any ways.

Sounds like a good idea right? With the Wii, there are many customizable attachments to add to the controllers for that added touch of realism e.g. Links crossbow, golf clubs, etc...why not boxing gloves?
The problem is that these are basically bag striking gloves with a pouch sewn in and foam inserts. I noticed the following problems that this quick "port" causes;
- The glove fit tight (like striking gloves should) but that means if/when you clinch your fist the gloves will depress one of many controller buttons which of course can do things like turn your Wii off to exiting the game.
- No IR window for the sensors. The glove dramatically reduce the range and accuracy of the controllers due to the damping effect of the gloves outer shell
- No access to any control buttons. Hope you like only jabbing cause accessing that coveted "z" button for the knock punch just ain't gonna happen.
Most of these problems can be fixed with an Xacto knife, but I decided just to sell them on eBay along

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.

I really enjoy this game. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything. I think Need for Speed Pro Street is a more grown up title. The other NFP games had a specific flare that made them exciting and so does this one. I prefer track style racing over street any day. Some don't... The graphics in this game are great, the physics is on point, and don't even mention to paint jobs on all of the vehicles. I would say this game is best on the Wii because of the ability to drive the cars with the Wiimotes motion sensing. This is a great game!

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

NSF:Prostreet takes the race off the streets of the city and into a course/tournament style world. Does the theme ruin it? Not really, but it does make it a lot less fun/entertaining.
NSF:Prostreet doesn't quite live up to the expectations you may have from your NSF:Underground experiences. The steering control seems to have been improved from the initial Wii NSF:Underground release, but if you are hoping for a manual transmission... don't get your hopes up. Just make sure that you don't turn on any of the braking assistance as it makes the game far too easy.
The game centers around a tournament-style setting taking the fun of the previous "free roam" out of the picture. The selection of cars is great, but the customization options definitely don't live up to the Underground versions of the game.
The announcer in the game is probably the single worst-written and worst-casted role I have run across on the Wii so far. His annoying antics and over-the-top pop culture catch phrases

For about $20 I think this is a decent product. I took the foam out and that seemed to make the controls more accurate when boxing. I might try cutting a space in the front of the right glove so there is a better connection with the sensor bar. It's not a super product, but it does make boxing more realistic.

The glove interferes with the IR of the remote and slows down your control of the game. All they have done is take a cheap pair of gloves and cut the padding.
A few minutes with a knife and a sewing machine greatly improved the product, but isnt something you should have to do to make it work.
Without the modifications you constantly have to take the remote back out, which is a cumbersome process. The controls should have been made accessible for the original product.
With the modifications, this is a fun accessory.
