To make the party even more exciting, karaoke fanatics can now enjoy the ultimate music experience with the innovative new Sing and Dance mode, combining Karaoke Revolution and elements of Konami’s hit dancing game, Dance Dance Revolution® into one unique gameplay experience. Additionally, the newest title in the groundbreaking music series will let karaoke crooners sing with – and compete against – friends with expanded multiplayer modes that are sure to enhance any party. Bringing the party to all new levels will be support for the Xbox Live® online gaming service and the EyeToy™ USB Camera (for PlayStation®2).
Transforming video game consoles into a high-end interactive karaoke machine, Karaoke Revolution Party’s expanded multiplayer and party modes allows players to perform duets or compete in the all new groundbreaking multiplayer vocal tournament. The only interactive karaoke game in North America that allows two people to sing simultaneously and be judged individually, Karaoke Revolution Party’s multiple two-microphone gameplay modes deliver hours of karaoke fun as players can join together on a wide variety of songs. Additionally, players will be able to enjoy a variety of mini-games and other game modes.
For the fist time in the history of the franchise, Karaoke Revolution Party offers support for the EyeToy USB camera. By utilizing the EyeToy Camera, players can put themselves into the game by creating a 3D model of their head, and watch themselves perform on big video screens within the 3D venues. In the Xbox version, over 100 songs are at the disposal of karaoke fans as players can download music through Xbox Live. Additionally, song pack downloads from previous Karaoke Revolution games will also be supported, greatly expanding their library of songs.
Karaoke Revolution Party features a proprietary voice recognition technology – which judges and scores players on their ability to match pitch and rhythm. 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. The latest edition introduces a new unlock and award system where players receive constant rewards for their progress including new songs, venues, characters, clothing, accessories and more. The game also features completely redesigned animations as well as character customization, which provides players with the ability to build their own characters utilizing various options including head, hair, body and accessories. Compatible with all officially licensed headset and microphone peripherals, the collection of well-known classic and current tunes lets anyone become an instant music star with hits including “Sweet Caroline,” “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,” “Crazy In Love” and “I Don’t Wanna Be.”
