Diehard GameFAN Review: Karaoke Revolution

Diehard GameFAN writes: "So, Konami has been in kind of a slump as far as rhythm games are concerned. Dance Dance Revolution, once a decent cash cow for the company, has been cast aside in favor of other franchises, due in equal parts to changing interests of fans and a general lack on Konami's end of any sort of innovation (well, any sort of USEFUL innovation) in the franchise. Konami's own attempt at a US plastic instrument video game, Rock Revolution, was considered a critical and commercial failure, which was incredibly sad considering Konami helped to pioneer the genre in the first place. Karaoke Revolution, which was once the first karaoke video game on the console market, had plateaued around the time the franchise teamed up with American Idol, and between the release of competing products like Singstar and LIPS and the lack of innovation and progress in the last game in the franchise, Karaoke Revolution: American Idol Encore 2, interest has waned." -
