 Great fun for VOCALISTS - Not so much fun for casual party gamers September 28, 2005
4 out of 11 found this review helpful
Both I and my wife love the DDR style games and we thought this would be a fun blast for parties etc. My wife is a trained vocalist so I knew she would rock on gameplay, but heck, even I used to sing in a variety of garage bands. These games rely STRICTLY on pitch variations...which really stinks for people like me who can't seem to hit some of the high notes (or sustain them). It was very disappointing to not be able to pass a song by "singing" the correct words with the correct timing....most songs you can simply "hum"out loud and pass the stages.
I was looking for a simple fun party game, not vocal training. while my wife still loves them I can't recommend them for everyone. Unless you have a high pitched/tone vocal style or have a musical background you will probably be disappointed.

Fun and confidence boosting for young ones June 23, 2005

My son just loves this - he got one for Christmas and he "practiced" in the non-judging karaoke mode b/c he was intimidated by the judging, but now we set the judging on "easy" and he beams with pride after winning gold and platinum albums. I'm trying to find more info about the expansion pack to get more songs rather than buy the second version which apparently has very little new except for songs.
 Suck on that June 18, 2005

This game has many fun qualities but it fails in comparison to the other versions. I would recommend getting Volume 3 for the duets capabilites, rather than this original version. The song list is limited, yet it has a lot of replay value.
Amazing Fun for All Singers March 2, 2005
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
If you think of Karaoke as a bad bar game, think again! With your XBox not only can you have amazing fun with yourself and friends, but you actually learn to be a better singer!
My boyfriend is in a band, and was in a choir for my entire school career. I never was much of a fan of karaoke, though. So it was with trepidation that I gave this game a try. It comes complete with a microphone and 50 songs for you to sing along with. The mix is a great cross section of old and new, from "When a Man Loves a Woman" to "Complicated". There are single player, multi player, arcade mode, sequential mode, and of course straightforward karaoke.
The graphics in the game are really good. You get to choose from a number of character models to represent you, each with several costumes. There are several environments, each with moving backgrounds and bandmates to back you up.
The crowd really gets into the song - either clapping and dancing around if you do well, or booing and leaving if you do poorly. It gives you immediate feedback to do better. The feedback line on the bottom of the screen is excellent as well. The arrow moves along with the musical line, showing you clearly if you are too sharp or flat, and "sparking" if you nail it perfectly. It really is extremely impressive, to see how far audio systems have come that this is "just a game".
You can play on levels from basic to expert, to help you learn how the songs and system works before you really try to nail every single note. It's easy at the beginning, and you can unlock new songs, costumes, environments, and more. But the real test of course is cranking the game up to expert and seeing just how talented you are. Can you get the rhythm and pitch spot on, or are you going to be booed off stage?
With the proliferation of musical reality shows, it's often easy to think of singing as an 'easy task', something anybody can do in the shower. We all only hear our voices inside our heads, and tend to think we are singing wonderfully. This game is a great training tool, to help you be on key with much more accuracy.
You can even download more songs from XBox Live if you want to - or play against friends to see who is the best singer in the group. It's incredibly addictive, you want to keep playing along to do better and better, until your throat starts to get sore :)
Highly recommended! 5/5
