One of my favourites!!! The game is as good as its song list, which is (too) varied and has something for everyone. If you own "Dance Dance Revolution", you can sing and dance at the same time, which is challenging. Alternatively, you sing and your partner do the dancing. It is fun to create and design the characters too.

Always - Atlantic Starr
American Woman
Brick House
Call Me

Who Can It Be Now? - Men at Work

That's really all you need to say about this game. Awesome! Lots of songs and fun costumes for your characters. Only downside is in order to use two mics--at least according to the game--is you have to unplug your gamecard to plug in the mic and then plug it back in. (-_-) Hopefully they'll release one for the Wii in the future (although this one is Wii compatible). If you love to karaoke, then definitely pick it up. A very good time!

I bought this game for the Wii and decided to write a review as there isn't much out there on what you need to make this game work. I bought the game and then I bought a used Gamecube controller on Amazon for about ten dollars. Then I found out I needed a memory card--not just any memory card, a Gamecube memory card. I got one used from our local electronic game store for about 15. (You can get them less on Amazon, I believe. My card had a lot of memory, which I didn't need so I overpaid to get it in time for Xmas.) The microphone that comes with the game works great on the Wii. So all in all, it cost about the same, maybe a few bucks more, that American Idol Karaoke and I hear it is much better. All this being said, the program itself is awesome. So much fun. The only drawback is there are only about 50 songs on it and since we can only sing a handful of them well with the particular key challenges, I don't know how long it will hold our interest. But for now, it is truly a blast. There are three judging levels. I recommend this highly to someone with kids under 12, especially, since they can sing all day and don't need to sound great to want to do it! This was our favorite Wii purchase this holiday season.

This game is a blast! Just be sure you get a microphone to go with it! I ordered the game thinking that a mic was included. Why call it a "Bundle" if it is just the game, right? Be sure you ask your seller if the mic is included, because it probably isn't. I bought mine from a "New" listing and no mic!

I chose to buy this version over the newer releases with downloadable capabilities because I do not like the American Idol show or judges. It has a lot of songs I recognize in the play list including "I'll Be" and also it has a similar game engine to Rock Band vocals which I enjoyed but wasn't willing to spend $ on to have my own. I planned on using the game in my Wii but I've also tried it in the game cube and it works just fine in both. I bought a microphone for my Wii to use with this game but unfortunately it was only compatible with the game cube mic that came in the bundle. The character creation is limited but not too bad - I ended up with a singer that looks a lot like me, but my husband had a lot of trouble with his. Singing is fun and the words are at a good speed. The karaoke function which is unscored is not as cool, but the choice of venues to sing at and the unlockable items you can get are great. I wish there were more songs, and also that you could get a particular genre or style of music - the play list is really diverse and there are only about 6 songs I can sing really well. Of course it's a party bundle and Karaoke is supposed to be about singing badly and having a good time with friends so it does do that very well. There is nothing like a baaad rendition of "American Woman" to get a party started :)I will probably buy other Karaoke Revolution games in the future, and ultimately I recommend this game to others.

This game kept our family singing for hours! The only thing is that we only have one microphone and no dance mat so..... we can't enjoy everything on it. These items are not easy to find for the gamecube. But even so the graphics are exactly the same as the play station and what child doesn't wan't to be a rock star. In fact , what parent's don't want to be a rock star. Overall it's entertaining

If you have a DDR dance mat for your Wii, here is another fantastic way to use it for a super-fun workout. I picked up this game plus a used Gamecube mic and Gamecube memory card (you must get the GC mic and card, the Wii ones aren't compatible) for under $20 for the whole shebang. Originally it was for my daughter who loves to sing with Boogie Superstar, but then I discovered the "song and dance" mode in which you have to sing while stepping on the mat along with arrows that scroll sideways on the screen. If you think old chestnuts like "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" and "Start Me Up" are easy-peasy, think again! Trying to get all the steps right AND hold all the proper notes will give your lungs, brain and whole rest of your body one heck of a workout. Now I can't sing worth a darn, so I have to wait till the house is empty to do this, but at the end I am panting, sweating and grinning. There are a bunch of other modes that look like great fun at parties, but the song-and-dance alone makes this a must for anyone with a DDR pad who loves to belt out the oldies, even in private. Quick, pick this one up before the secret gets out and price goes through the roof!

This is a great game that is lots of fun with small groups of people. Each player gets to create a character- complete with picking their outfits and the venue and then that character 'performs' your song on the screen. Although I wish there were more, there are a good number of songs to choose from, many from the 1980's. You can play in several different modes, against other players or alone. And you can choose the songs or have them be randomly selected for you. The judging is based on if you can hit the notes. There is a icon that helps show you where the notes are if you need some help. Regardless of whether you can sing or not this game is a blast. I just wish there were more versions for Game Cube!

Just today, I got Karaoke Revolution. My 15 year old brother wasn't interested in it much but he watched me, an 11 year old girl, and my 9 year old sister play it. We loved it immediatly. A lot of the songs, though, my mom knew and I didn't! But we managed. One really cool part of this game is that you get to create your own character. There is a dancing mode where you sing and dance. I find it hard (the dancing mode). That's the only problem I find with this game. If your doing dance mode, I recomend you do a song you know very well. You mostly pay attention to the dance steps instead of the song. But it rocks! I love this game and I recomend it for kids ages 8 and up!

This game is a riot. My ten year old duaghter wanted it, but the whole family joins in. This is a lot more fun than regular Karaoke.
