Karaoke Revolution allows players to adjust their microphone settings in order to hear themselves or increase the volume of the original artists over their speakers!
Customization is a major component to this year's version. There are newly added venue and character customization options including 10 new performance venues in which rising stars can add in lights, video screens and special effects to create the perfect concert – as well as an even greater selection of outfit and accessory changes. Create your own rock star and dress yourself to the part by using the new facial and body morphing features to manipulate age, shape, body size and more. Adding to the realism of being on stage, players can use the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera or the PlayStation Eye to see themselves in LCD screens during the full performances!
Like all versions from this acclaimed franchise, Karaoke Revolution features a proprietary voice recognition technology that accurately scores and identifies vocal pitch and rhythm. Feedback on your performance is offered by the dynamic crowds that fill each virtual venue and the advanced scoring of pitch, style and phrase accuracy.
