This game is nothing like the show. The words are just typed out on a bunch of cards, so not only do you have to remember the words, but the tune, the beat, and so everything but the words they supply.

The presentation of the game is fantastic! It's colorful, very reminiscent of the tv show, and I was so excited to start playing. The format is easy to understand and the cards are well constructed with lots of categories and songs to choose from. Yes, I'd love to give this game a better score, but the selection of songs prevents me from doing that. My group knew somewhere around 70 of the songs (literally about 7 songs per category), but that left probably around 280 songs that we hadn't even heard of. Odder still, the selection of songs in each category wasn't even close to what we had hoped for. For instance, in the category of Pop, the song selection we knew consisted mainly of Xmas songs like Jingle Bells and The Little Drummer Boy. That's all they could come up with?

With a wide range of categories which includes: Rhythm & Blues, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, Rock, Pop, Country, Divas, Love Songs, & Million Dollar Songs-they should have ushered in the karaoke favorites the way the show does. While some of the classics from each decade are there, most aren't-and that's very disappointing. Worse off, for the choices they used to be so obscure that none of us had heard of them...it takes all of the fun right out of the game.

We love the idea of the game so much, we've considered making our own cards (and have even begun the arduous process...ugh! Got through about five of them and then gave up for the time being). I'll give this game a 3, just for the potential it could have had. Perhaps if they could release an expansion deck of song cards and get that part right-it could turn itself around into a great game.

Complete waste of your money. Do not buy it unless you know lots of random songs. I may be a child of the 90s but my musical background extends back to the 1920s and further if you count instrumental and classical music. I did not buy this game through amazon but I am returning it to the store I purchased it from.

We never played it but I went through the song cards to see what songs were included and out of the 400 songs, my sister and I knew 15 or 20. It was really disappointing and I do not recommend this game to anyone unless you and your friends know lots of really random songs.

My wife and i love the show and this game. It is easy to set up and real fun to play. The only drawback is it doesn't come with music. You have to remember the tune.

Whoa..... a dumb game glad I did not buy it?? Just played with some friends!
Did they even do any product review with a test audience before releasing this?? Lyric cards need to have the band name on them... Overall very disappointing and would not recommend!! Seams like it was rushed out for the holiday shopping spree??

BOO
