Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore

This one is more fun than the 1st version, 'cause most of the lyrics are easy 2 sing than the 1st one. I enjoy the time of singing & it's really helpful in some of my party. Pretty cool game[...]

I bought this as a gift 4 my brother, who is in his 30's. We played it 4 the first time with our parents & had a ball! Hours of family fun.
Even 4 me & I can't carry a tune in a bucket. Our parents were not as familiar with all the songs on this version, but there was enough of a selection 2 keep them in the game. You need 2 have your own microphone. (We had 2 go purchase one.) Overall, we had a great time & would all reccommend it. My brother says he plays it constantly & thinks he is the AMERICAN IDOL...

This latest installment of the Karaoke Revolution is the same mix of easy & hard skill levels 2 satisfy all Potential Idols, but now we get 2 hear Paula give her review of your performance as well! (Even though she seems 2 say the same things "Laura" from the first ' Idol game said).
Overall, this is a fun experience 4 the whole family!

I just bought this game & the 1st AI game. I don't have any other Karaoke Rev or Singstar games. I LOVE this game. It is so much fun. It's nice how you can change the mix so you can adjust the volumes of the track vocals, music, microphone, etc. & turn up the vocals on the track so it's more like singing along on the radio (for people like me who aren't very good). I LOVE LOVE this game.

I was excited about getting this one as a followup 2 the original American Idol game, especially because now the trio would be "complete", with the presence of Paula.

However, the more I played it, the more disappointed I got. It seems like Paula phoned in her comments over the phone. The songs seem like "all the ones we rejected from the first American Idol game", with long stretches of no singing, too many slow songs, & some of the most depressing songs I'd ever come across (mostly the "newer" ones). I'm sure some people want 2 sing a song that ends with "I don't want 2 be a murderer" over & over, but not me.

There are no new extras 2 speak of (games & such) & once I scored Platinum on all the tunes I said that was enough. I'll stick with the original, thanks.
