Video Gaming News - November 2003
Redwood City, CA (November 5, 2003) - Konami today announced
that it has shipped Karaoke Revolution for the PlayStation 2.
From Konami:
The stage is set as players belt out popular tunes using a headset microphone
that comes bundled with the game. The fun is further enhanced by the game's
unique scoring system that uses proprietary "voice analyzer" technology to rate
the player's performance. With this innovation, Karaoke Revolution is the
first-ever videogame to register pitch and rhythm, judging the accuracy of each
note and lyric sung by the player. A dynamic crowd cheers players on as they hit
the right notes and advance through the game, or boo players off stage as they
miss their cues and keys.
In Karaoke Revolution, novice singers and experienced crooners can enjoy
singing hit songs made popular by famous artists, including Avril Lavigne,
Barenaked Ladies, Michelle Branch, R.E.M., and Nickelback. Featuring songs from
a wide range of music categories such as pop, rock and R&B, Karaoke Revolution
gets the party going with hit titles such as 'Billie Jean', 'Like a Virgin',
'Chain of Fools', 'Red, Red Wine', 'Celebration' and 'Girls Just Want to Have
Fun'.
In "ARCADE MODE" players hone their skills and sing their way to a high
score, while in "SHOWTIME MODE" players set out to work their way up from
singing in subway stations to performing at virtual clubs and eventually playing
an enormous concert stadium. However, for those that are not quite ready for the
big time, the game also features "KARAOKE MODE" that allows players to sing in
the traditional karaoke style and practice their favorite song without being
judged or scored.
Rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Association. The game is
available now, bundled with a headset microphone at an SRP of $59.99.
