Karaoke Revolution: American Idol lets you sing and perform using
a USB headset/microphone as you compete through a fully recreated
virtual season of the #1 TV show in America. Play the part of an
American Idol contestant as you audition, earn an invitation to
Hollywood, and ultimately perform on center stage at the finale.
As you progress through the game your popularity with the crowd
and comments from Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, both positive
and sometimes outrageously negative, will affect whether or not
you move on to the next round of competition.
Will you impress the American Idol judges?

Karaoke, idol style!
Konami's latest foray into the culture of Karaoke mixes the fun
of the typical sing-alongs with the star power of the hit TV show
American Idol. Design an Idol contestant from scratch or use a
photo of yourself (taken with the USB EyeToy Camera, USB Camera
not included). Pick out your accessories and clothing but pick
wisely- those sensitive-eared Idol judges will be watching and
listening, as well as the vast audience who will be voting on
your performance.
As in previous games in the Karaoke Revolution series, players
sing into a USB microphone or headset while their selected song
plays sans vocals. While a headset is not included with this
title, players are free to use a microphone from a previous
installment of Karaoke Revolution. Once players select a song the
lyrics and pitch of the melody are displayed for them to follow.
If a singer can manage to keep within the margins of good pitch,
they are awarded bonuses and multipliers for their song rating. A
new twist on song rating, however, comes in the forms of the
virtual American Idol judges, who will make quips and comments on
your performance. The comments aren't just for show- they will
actually directly influence your final song score. This is not
unlike the actual American Idol show, in which the judge's
running commentary can sometimes sway the voters towards a
certain performer. The addition of the virtual judges is quite
welcome, and it's great to see them congratulate you if you
performed well, and equally as fun to see them give light insults
to those performances that were lacking.
Over 40 songs
A number of the songs in the title are updated for a
contemporary audience and have been used on the actual television
show by notable contestants. The breadth and depth of the song
list has always been a strong point in Karaoke Revolution games,
and American Idol is no exception to this rule. From the strong,
crooning passages of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" to the fun
pop sounds of "Build Me Up Buttercup," there's a track for
everybody to enjoy. A number of tracks are especially good for
beginners, and the judges will sometimes take pity on a first
timers' performance and offer a few more pointers than
criticisms. Sometimes.
