With music franchises such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Lips continuously pumping out content it can be a little daunting just thinking about all the songs and devotion you need to pour into each music game. Erik Johnsen delves into the assortment of old and new music games/content and whether they warrant excitement and the hype.
i think the whole music simulation genre is slowing down in popularity
it was an amazing way to experience new&old music but now its not much more than greedy companies competing to get the next sequel out as fast as possible with little innovation
Fancy yourself as the as the new lead singer in timeless West End shows such as “Cats” or the “Phantom of the Opera”, wowing crowds and being a part of some of the greatest shows on earth?
OMG FINALLY A KARAOKE GAME TO PLAY!
Should have mentioned that Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" is another track.
Looks lame.Xbots will still buy it XD
...'Titanic' Theme Song??? ;-D
Reasonable selection of tracks I guess!
But I think I'll stick with singstar.
When your drunk and daft enough to sing your heart out to a TV screen, you want the real song with the real video - I'm not interested in 'digital performers' lip syncing to the tracks, and I suspect most people into this type of game won't be either.
The feature thats been hyped and not thought abou.t is plugging your own songs in. When you realise that the lyrics won't appear and theirs nothing to measure your performance or guide your timing or pitch, you soon relaise you're just as well off playing your songs on your own Hi Fi and singing along...
