bit-tech Shopping: Konami Karaoke Revolution Bundle 3 (PS2)

Rating: 6

Time with product: 4 Months

Strengths: Microphone included. Improvements over the previous installments. No harsh critic. No public embarrassment.

Weaknesses: Repetitive gameplay. Hard to follow sometimes.

Summary: This is the third installment of the series. The bundle includes microphone which is great because you know it would work with the game. The game itself have improvements over the previous ones with new modes, slightly better graphics and better game engine. You can play the game alone or with many people right in your home, so you do not have to worry about embarrass yourself in the public. And it does not judge you very harshly.:) However, because the game is on DVD, the songs would get repeat and it would seem repetitive after sometime and eventually the whole game would seem repetitive. The objective is to follow the lyrics, which sometimes would be hard to follow, so you have to learn the lyrics very fast. They did not improve much on this part even though this is third installment of the series. For those that like to sing or have "idol" dreams, this is a fun game to get, to both train and play, it is fun even for regular gamers. Give it a try either way.

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: even better than the 2nd one, duet mode

Weaknesses: limited value, gameplay gets repeated

Summary: if you enjoyed the other revolution games, you will love this one. This brings newer songs to the table like "Hold On, and Burn" and the inclusion of duet makes sing "Love Shack" an absolute must. Get this and bring it to parties or buy it and let the party come to you.
