Looking for a holiday gift for your favorite Gleek? Look no further. Konami has released a singing game based on FOX's popular television program and to the joy of Glee fans everwhere, the Nintendo Wii exclusive Karaoke Revolution GLEE hits most all of the right notes.
Featuring roughly thirty tracks both new and old spread out across ten sets. Now, while that looks like three songs per set it's technically not because the same song will appear on multiple playlists. Each set is named after one of Glee's main cast members and the songs in each person's set features that cast member. A few more songs would have been nice but the game only uses songs from Season One and there are only so many of them to choose from. Also, it doesn't seem like Konami will be supporting the game via DLC music tracks so if thirty tracks isn't enough then you'll have to wait until Season Two's Karaoke Revolution game.
Players will be singing along with the show's cast and be treated to the occasional unreleased scene playing in the background. Konami pretty much pioneered karaoke video games, so it's of little surprise that the game's pitch detection is pretty good and rather consistent. The game varies less than Disney Interactive's Sing It franchise does and has better response than Rock Band. Both of these are good things when belting out "Proud Mary", singing along with "Sweet Caroline" or rapping out the lyrics of "Gold Digger".
Karaoke Revolution GLEE continues Konami's tradition of making appealing music games and while this game is good for karaoke fans, it's great for Gleeks. The game ends up being around $50 depending on the retailer.
