But that short time includes excruciating minutes spent watching ugly cartoon people sing off-key while you're waiting for your turn. And multiplayer games are no more fun than single-player ones: How stupid is it to judge your friends' ability to press buttons? There's no reason to buy this game--and this is coming from someone who loves the TV show. Bloody awful. Browse games Game Portals. American Idol. Install Game. Continue reading Show less.

Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol. Wannabe pop stars take on Simon Cowell.
Karaoke Revolution Party. Now with dancing, great for kids -- and parents. High School Musical: Sing It! Bought a mic that came out of a guitar hero-band game. It looks the same. Maybe they're all from the same place. It works fine. Doesn't use the actual song artist. I guess that cuts down on the royalty payments.
My singing hasn't improved. I do a wicked 'Black Hole Sun'! And by wicked I mean terrible. Overall Review: I bought this for my niece who had a previous Karaoke Idol on the original xbox. She can whip out 'Complicated' pretty good. That song wasn't on this game but we downloaded it. Not really a great game for guys but all girls seem to love it. As it is, there are only a few moving symbols and some sparks for being on cue. There is any on-screen score, just the verdict from the judges at the end of the song.
Get enough correct hits and they'll let you move on, but there is no immediate way to tell how your session is going other than trying to keep track in your head of your successful hits. Only after finishing the game and finding a Hall of Fame option did I even find out that there is a score for button-tapping ability. So it is tallied even though during the game it's never on screen. As for the judges themselves, it's obvious that one of the main selling points is the inclusion of the witty and sarcastic comments by the three judges.
It's also obvious that not much work was put into coordinating them. Randy started off one review by saying he didn't like my performance and Paula finished by commenting on how great it was that all three agreed on how good it was. After a previous round where all three liked my singing, the next round of comments had Simon saying, "well, for once we all agree that we liked it. There were other ways that the comments by the judges were random as well.
One judge would love my singing in one round and tear me apart in the next. It was as if they had no memory of what had happened before. The only thing I could depend on was that the negative comment would come first, followed by a positive reinforcement.
It shouldn't be important, but for the first time ever, my selection of an outfit in a game was crucial. With over 20 wardrobes to choose from and a few dozen combinations in each one, there are tons of ways to mix up the clothes. Make a winning impression and it will help sway the judges as well. Then again, maybe the wardrobe doesn't have much of an effect after all. I barely paid any attention to the music, put together hideous outfits with Hawaiian prints, and still got to the end and won the hearts of America by popular vote.
And what did I get for all my efforts? What is the reward for all of this hard work? A screen that says I have superstar potential and a quick boot to the main menu. What's left after that? Well, there's a karaoke mode where I was able to sing along with the music.
