Primarily brought the game for the mic, as my Rockband mic was losing sensitivity. Mic. from this game so far has been excellent, the game itself is not as satisfying as the mic. Decent purchase.
Rating: - American Idol
This is a great game, the only problem is that you have to purchase microsoft points to buy more songs. The ones that are on there are great.
Rating: - Awesome Game
I played this game once over a friend's house and I immediately knew I wanted to purchase it. It is so much fun and can really bring the family together. I'm not really into video games, but this one was an exception. I couldn't be more happier with the purchase! =]
Rating: - Pretty entertaining
Very fun game for AI enthusiasts, fairly diverse song list included and plenty for download. My only qualm is that they do not follow the actual contest format of having you choose a song from a specific genre or pick them for you like in the later rounds or have you do two songs when the number of contestants is down to the final five or so. Also would like a more competitive mode so not everyone goes on to win finals in single player mode.
Rating: - Okay singing game, terrible dancing characters! Yikes!
The actual singing part of the game is okay - nothing special - only buy this if you like the songs that are included.
(Side note: If you like heavier music you should just buy the stand alone Rock Band game and a USB microphone.)
The major setback for this game is the horrible character dancing during songs. You could have a character singing a rock song but they will dance like they are singing Britney Spears...really distracting. The AI judges in this game are very, very creepy - even more than in real life!
