 Fun... laugh and decent choices for songs June 9, 2008
I'm a self-proclaimed-karaoke-goddess and have a lot of fun with this game. It's fun at a party or to sit by yourself and do some crooning. The song selection has some old, some new, some slow, some fast... a fairly good list. I would have rated this a 5 if you could download some more songs. Sad.
All in all, a good time and worth the money.
Pretty fun May 24, 2008
As far as what you have to do, it's somewhat like Rock Band or Guitar Hero. You must match the pitches and rhythms with what's on screen. You can choose your character and change their appearance. Also, you can pick different venues. You can adjust the difficulty level, as well as the volume of the sample voice, music, and/or your mic volume. If you do well on a song, you unlock other songs and videos. All the videos are video clips from American Idol, not of the original artist. There are a couple of drawbacks. One, there is a delay between what you sing and when you actually hear it. This takes a little getting used to. Second, you have to sing the song just like the artist (could be original or American Idol version), but all the runs and improv licks have to be done the same in order to score your points.
 Poor title, not much fun, no online support, wait for something better. May 14, 2008
[...] The graphics are terrible, even for the wii. The sound quality is not that good on my 5.1 system. They do not use the infrared wiimote capabilities at all. There is no online content or connection. It feels like a very bad and rushed port of a game. Bottom line, wait until someone designs a better kareoke title for the wii. I was hoping for so much more having played previous titles in the franchise. The psII versions are much better IMHO.
On the positive side, it is the very best kareoke title out there for the wii. It only beats boogie by a slim margin. This game is a 50 out of 100.
 Great singing game May 5, 2008
This is a great game for the entire family. My five-year-old has improved her reading speed on top of her singing pitch. I really like how this one shows you if you are sharp or flat. I also enjoy the duets as my children work on singing in harmony.
However, I wish they removed certain words from the songs like they did on Boogie. I look forward to downloading more songs as we unlocked everything there was to unlock in one week.
 Not Enough Songs!! May 5, 2008
If your a fan of the show - and karaoke - this game is surprisingly fun. But this game is not about the words - its about singing in key - and certain songs can be pretty tricky. Hitting every one of Axel Rose's oohs and ahhs can actually be quite daunting...
But the real letdown, is the inability to purchase more songs from the Wii network - with only 40 or so tracks to pick from, you're quite limited with the family to find more than 1 or 2 songs each family member will like and/or know.
