Video Gaming News - April 2004
Redwood City, CA (April 21, 2004) - Konami Digital Entertainment today
announced that Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 will ship this July for the
PlayStation 2.
From Konami:
Building on the success of Karaoke Revolution's groundbreaking and innovative
karaoke video game experience, this edition will feature an all-new line-up of
35 hit songs, additional characters and venues and a new Medley Mode that allows
for multiplayer gameplay.
Last year's award-winning title and only interactive karaoke video game for the
PlayStation 2, Karaoke Revolution(tm) was praised for its innovation, superb
gameplay and sheer enjoyment as a party game for all ages. The critical acclaim
for the game reached multi-platinum status when Time Magazine hailed it as the
best video game of 2003. The Karaoke Revolution series of video games features a
unique vocal analyzer which rates the pitch and rhythm of the player's vocals -
providing the ultimate interactive karaoke experience.
Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 expands upon the original game in the series,
featuring seven new characters, three new venues and more than 30 new character
outfits - making it even easier for gamers to step up to the mic. Choose from a
hit-filled catalog of well-known rock, dance, pop, and R&B tunes, including
songs such as "Every Breath You Take," "Friends in Low Places" and "I Will
Survive." Compatible with any PlayStation 2 headset/microphone peripheral, the
games' proprietary voice recognition technology challenges players as they
strive to become the next pop star. Real-time feedback is offered by the dynamic
crowds that fill each virtual venue, either by booing you off the stage or
cheering your every note.
In addition to the original Training, Arcade and Karaoke Modes, Karaoke
Revolution Volume 2 also includes an enhanced Showtime campaign and the new
Medley Mode. With this feature, players can link up to 5 song clips together in
rapid fire succession for a unique twist on multi-player karaoke competition.
