Harmonix is ripping the music rhythm genre a new one this fall. Between Guitar Hero and the latest Karaoke Revolution, the company once known simply for creating fan-favorite but obscure music games is suddenly creating all sorts of buzz.

Though the last few Karaoke Revolutions have steadily refined the formula without too much tampering, Harmonix's really mixed things up with, fusing their own creation with another one of Konami's popular music rhythm series, Dance Dance Revolution. Dancing and singing isn't a strange combination on its own, but it doesn't exactly first come to mind in the video-game world.It's natural to dance while singing, but grading you ala DDR is an entirely different affair. A great idea on paper? Yeah, definitely, but it doesn't work well in execution. Unless you've committed a particular song to memory, it's nigh impossible to keep tabs on the lyrics, dance movements scrolling below and wobbling feet simultaneously, and such an ideal situation is hardly common during most karaoke situations (people intoxicated during karaoke?

Even for those especially proficient at DDR are likely to find they ditch the mode once they've unlocked the trophies. Dancing and singing simply takes too much coordination, and the steps aren't timed well enough with the music to make them feel as natural as they should've. That alone would have spelled improvement, but even then it would have been more than most casual Karaoke Revolution fans would be willing to put up with. Karaoke's supposed to be simple entertainment, not a brutalizing mental (and physical) workout.If you're still anxious about taking advantage of the mode, though, splitting up the jobs and creating teams of two actually works well.

In that case, the singer and dancing are dependent on each other's cooperation throughout the song, playing up the competitive aspect between players and teams alike. It removes the frustration of handling both aspects at once, while allowing more people to stand up and participate in the game at the same time.There are plenty of other additions to the traditional Karaoke Revolution formula to capitalize on the party motif, too, such as the inclusion of EyeToy support.

That's an ingenious move for character creation, and though the memory card space requirements are obnoxious, it's fantastic for thoroughly embarrassing people as they blast through some of the game's cheesier tracks. It's simple to set up and implement onto an edited character, so the bonus is painless and welcome. The brand-new mini-games, on the other hand, seem like afterthoughts the team designed at the last minute.

At least initially, you only have a Pong-esque volleyball game, where your voice's pitch controls the direction of the team. A little entertaining the first few times, but you won't be coming back often, and the others are worth ignoring entirely. They're entirely too dependent on precise vocals, and the payoff is minimal compared to the frustration.

Considering the polish on the rest of the game, it's obvious where the rushed last-minute development spots are.Next:   Page:  1.

This installment of the Karaoke Revolution series nows features Sing and Dance mode where you as the singer will sing and dance at the same time using the Dance Dance Revolution controller. This game now features 50 new songs made popular by various artists. The Duet Mode and Medley mode are also back again. The rewards you earn in this game will also depend on how well you sing in this game. You can now even customize you own character in the way you see fit.

As you earn rewards, you will also gain more accessories, clothes, characters and even hairstyles for your customized characters. And if that is not enough, try some of the new mini-games to test out your vocals. I totally love this game, I'm a huge Karaoke fan, and when I heard that they were going to incorporate Karaoke into a video game, I was like, OMG, my ultimate dream come true.

It really is a fun game, the only thing you have to do is sing. Even if you can't sing really well, it's OK because the game will tell you if your pitch is off.

Maybe you sing to high, or maybe you sing to low, it will let you know. When you've hit the pitch a little green arrow will appear on the line if the arrow is red it means your pitch is to high or to low. The game has a lot of great songs, most of them are from the 80s, which is great for me, because I'm an 80s child, and I love singing/listening to all the great hits of the 80s. So you need two things to play a game system, I have PS2, (and it works really well), and a microphone that's compatible with your game system. You get ranked on your performance to and you can pick the difficulty that ranges from easy to expert. Personally I stick with the easy difficulty because sometime I sing a little off key, but who knows, maybe i'll eventually make my way to expert.

Yes, I've already said I love this game, and that's why I gave it a 10 out of 10. The thing I loved about it is, when you sing songs you can unlock certain items like clothing and different characters to choose from.

There is a create-a-character mode which I love about it, and it even gives you the difficulty of the song, 1 note means it's easy and 3 notes mean it's a more difficult song. Yes, it does have a lot of great hits like ones by the Police, Aerosmith, Madonna, Lionel Ritchie, B.T.O., and many more great hits by great artists. So yes to sum it up, it's a great game with great songs, great characters and yes you do have a lot of fun. Oh, it also has a medley mode, where you can pick 3-8 songs to sing from, and it plays a medley of them, and it's really fun too, especially if you don't know the whole song, just parts of it.

As you can probably tell I have a great time with it, and so does my whole family. That's probably why it's Rated E for everybody, because everybody will want to play it.
