Karaoke Revolution, known in the PAL region as Karaoke Stage, is a music video game developed by Harmonix and published by Konami for PlayStation 2 in 2003–2005. An Xbox port of the game was developed by Secret Level, Inc. and released in November 2004 featuring four more songs that were present in Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 and 10 exclusive Motown songs which are the original non-cover versions. The Xbox version also supported Xbox Live for downloads of more songs.

Reception

[edit]

The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4][5] GamePro said that the PlayStation 2 version was "great fun, and you'll do well whether you're a closet pop star with a great voice or an average couch crooner with questionable talent."[23][b]

IGN ranked the same console version as the 99th best PlayStation 2 game due to the involvement of Harmonix.[24]
