4.0 out of 5 stars Not As Good As Volume 3 But Still Fun, January 1, 2005

This review is from: Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 (Video Game)

I have a few comments. First, I'm quite ticked that they have I'll Make Love To You on the disk. I would have given this disk a 5 out of 5 if it weren't for that one thing. We play this game with a 9 year old and an 11 year old. They do have it censored by saying "I'm going to take off my charm" or something instead of "off my clothes." But it helps little. (Volume 3 I have *no* complaints as far as the kids go for song choice on the disk.)

The songs to choose from for karaoke competition are as follows:
Song List (all below are "originally by"):
1) Baby One More Time (originally by Britney Spears)
2) Born to Be Wild (originally by George Thouroughgood and the Delaware Destroyers)
3) Every Breath You Take (The Police)
4) Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)
5) Genie In A Bottle (Christina Aguilera)
6) Heartbreak Hotel (Elvis)
7) Here Without You (3 Doors Down)
8) Hot Stuff (Donna Summer)
9) I Believe in a Thing Called Love (The Darkness)
10) I Will Survive (Gloria Naylor)
11) Irresistible (Jessica Simpson)
12) It's My Life (No Doubt covering Talk Talk's version)
13) Jessie's Girl (Rick Springfield)
14) Lady Marmalade (Patti LaBelle)
15) My Girl (The Temptations)
16) Papa Don't Preach (Madonna)
17) Rock and Roll All Nite (Kiss)
18) Sittin on the Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding)
19) Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
20) The First Cut is the Deepest (Sheryl Crow)
21) Toxic (Britney Spears)
22) Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai)
23) We Are Family (Sister Sledge)
24) White Flag (Dido)
Those are the songs listed on the back. Also included on the disk:
25) Cry (Waterfront? Kim Marsh? I don't know)
26) Drift Away (Doobie Brothers)
27) I Hate Everything About You (Three Days Grace)
28) I'll Make Love To You (Boyz II Men)
29) I'm With You (Avril Lavigne)
30) I've Got You Under My Skin (I have no idea. So many artists have covered this.)
31) Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye)
32) Miss You (Aaliyah or Mariah Carey??)
33) Perfect (Alanis Morissette I *think*)
34) The Joker (Steve Miller Band)
...And I think I'm missing one because the back said 35 songs. Oh well.

Sometimes we let our 9-year-old be on the Easy level, and that helps him to do just as well as we do. "Adjustable difficulty levels ensures that anyone can be a karaoke star," it says on the back of the box. And it's true.

The songs were recorded as close to by the original artists as possible, and they did a great job with that. The First Cut is the Deepest is pretty much the only song that really, really doesn't sound like the original artist (Sheryl Crow). But it still sounds pretty good. You sing along and choose how loud you want your own voice versus the recorded voice to be. It works really well that way. Sometimes I wish I could hear my own voice more through the speakers, but I think that is our own setup.

I do indeed recommend this product to others. Volume 3 is the best, though!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Game!! (reviewed by a 12 year old), July 21, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 (Video Game)

I've owned this game for about a week and it is great. They have cute characters and a cool goth girl (that you have to unlock). They have all kinds of different music types. They even have a The Darkness song there for the punk rockers out there. $39.99 is a reasonble price since my parents wouldn't pay and I had to. You don't need one of those expensive $30 headsets, I bought the $15.95 Logitech Microphone and it works fine. I hope this review helps you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new features and an even better variety of songs!, June 24, 2004

Hii Kii (Springfield, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 (Video Game)

Wow! What a step up from the first version! When one is playing in a large group of people, it's great to be able to sing a shorter version of the song so there is less waiting. The medly feature is also fun. Remember Bill Murry on SNL as a lounge singer switching from song to song? You get to do this too with your choice of 3-5 songs. Also, songs load much faster.

There is a big debate as to if Komami should have just put out an expansion disk and not a full new game, but with these new features, I'll take the new game!

Buy this one on day one, and also look for the new special PS2 handheld Mic! It isn't very expensive, but it will improve your scores and make playing even more fun!
