Karaoke Revolution Rev (X360)

Am I crazy, or do stand-alone karaoke games seem pretty pointless these days? If I want to sing, I’m not reaching for Lips or Karaoke Revolution, I’m booting up Rock Band 2 and its 1000+ songs. But, hey, that’s just me. If you’re still in the market for a plain ol’ karaoke game, however, Konami’s reboot of its singing series might be right up your alley. We cover all of the details on Karaoke Revolution right here in our full review.The presentation is one definite weak area in Karaoke Revolution. The menus are just bland, square blocks of information and the color scheme is simple and rather unattractive. The character models and on-stage stuff all looks fine (the characters look pretty good, in fact) but the animation and lip-syncing is pretty awful.

The sound is fine, at least, and the master tracks mean everything should sound like you expect it to. There is nothing worse than trying to sing karaoke and the song that comes up is some weird cover that doesn’t quite match up to the real thing, which throws your timing and everything else off. You won’t have that problem here, thankfully.
