Following the great success of the Dance Dance Revolution series, this music-based title from Konami challenges players to use their voices, instead of their feet, to score big. While DDR games make use of floor-mat dance pads, Karaoke Revolution uses a headset microphone device that is designed to analyze the player's vocal performance, based on pitch and rhythm.
The North American release of the game features three dozen popular songs from a range of eras and styles, including "Billie Jean," "Chain of Fools," "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "It's the End of the World As We Know It," "Ladies Night," "Like a Virgin," "Son of a Preacher Man," "You Really Got Me," and "You're the One That I Want."
