of the American Idol TV show are no doubt familiar with the word.
Maybe you wanted Bo Bice to win it all or maybe you wanted Carrie
Underwood to get eliminated in the first round, but chances are your
favorite singing show has let you down once or twice. Developer: Blitz
Games Publisher: Konami Genre: Music Release: February 5, 2008Sadly,
if you've been waiting for Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol
Encore with the type of anticipation you generally save for the worst
of opening night auditions, disappointment will pretty much sum up
your experience with this game. Now, I'm not trying to do a Simon
Cowell impression here. Encore isn't a horrible game -- it's not even
a slightly broken game -- but it is the launch of the storied Karaoke
Revolutio
n franchise on the Xbox 360, and frankly, we were expecting more.br/
>If the Karaoke Revolution games of the past have passed you by,
getting a handle on the gameplay is simple enough. Encore has 40 songs
such as "Come Sail Away" and "Copacabana" packed onto its disc and
challenges you with singing them for points and praise from the judges
-- yes, Randy, Paula and Simon are present and accounted for. Each
time you choose a song, the words and syllables begin scrolling across
the screen with pitch and timing bars above them. You sing the words
and try to keep the arrow that reacts to your voice gliding over the
on-screen lines. Keepin http://www.chinese-microphone.com/Karaoke-Microphones.html
g the arrow in the proper place means messing with the octave you're
singing in and holding notes for certain amounts of time. Confused, 50-
year-old Idol fan looking to pick this up as a way to connect with
your gaming kin? It'll be second nature once you get the mic in your
hand.Once you get the basics of how to sing and adjust your
performance, there are a couple of caveats you need to get down. First
up is phrases. When you're playing, you'll find the song broken up by
vertical white lines -- these sections are phrases. When you hit a
white line, the game will score the phrase you just sang with a
written descriptor ranging from lousy to great. You can track how
you're doing on a given phrase by watching the Phrase Meter on the
left side of the screen fill and change color. If you can get a "good"
or "great" rating on three phrases in a row, you'll start a combo and
get bonus points for every phrase you nail from there on out. Above
that is a crowd meter that lets you know how you're doing with the
fans. Nail the sparkly lines of text and you'll get a crowd boost.In
the end, all these boosts, phrases and points are tallied for a final
score that breaks down how many goods and poors you've received as
well as ranking the performance.Okay. So like I said, this isn't a
broken game -- in fact, it's got a lot going for it. What sets this
apart from the most other Karaoke Revolution games is -- duh -- the
American Idol license. Although this isn't the first time Fox's peanut
butter has gotten into Konami's chocolate, the experience is by no
means stale. When you boot up the game, you basically have the option
of jumping into an American Idol competition or just singing your
little heart out.If you go the route of the show, you'll find the
formula that's made the program a pop culture icon. You'll choose your
character, audition for the judges, go to Hollywood and compete in a
handful of round
s as you try to work your way down to being the last crooner standing.
After each of your performances -- you're not subjected to watching
the other singers -- Randy, Paula and Simon break you down or build
you up, you're given a score, and if it's an elimination show, the
contestants are listed, rated and cut while a disembodied voice intros
the next round (Seacrest out).A nice addition to the mode is
the ability to customize it to the amount of time you feel like
putting in. Sure, you can save after every performance and walk away
at will, but the game also allows you to choose do a Quickplay, which
is just one song with the judges judging at the end, or choose between
four-, eight-, 13- and 18-round single-player competitions. Want a fu

contest with up to seven friends offline? Encore's got you covered --
Multiplayer Contest let you and your friends square off against each
other and the computer in one to seven rounds of a full-fledged
show.Beyond the ability to duet and battle with in-house friends,
Encore boasts three online modes for you to go out and conquer. Head-
to-Head is the self-explanatory face-off you'd expect where the host
picks the song, Arcade League puts you and up to seven folks in a
score-based competition, and American Idol Tournament puts you and
your friend's list into the show and lets you duke it out to be
Paula's favorite.So what holds Encore back from being the greatest
karaoke videogame ever? Basically a lack of options and excitement.
While the online stuff is still fresh in our brains, let me tell you
that you can't chat once you're to the song screen. Once the
competition starts, there's no button to hold down to communicate with
your online friend like in Rock Band. In fact, you don't even get to
see the other person's singing progress like Rock Band. At the end of
every phase, you get to see your opponent's score. Worse? When you're
at the setup screen you can chat but only through the headset. Yes,
you're holding a microphone and your TV probably has speakers, but
you'll need to wear your headset to chat it up.Lame.br/>There's an
option to download songs for your game -- and loading screens even
encourage you to go pick up new tracks using Microsoft Points -- but
there's no telling how m
any (or few) songs will be made available for download. This
barebones feel is pretty much the theme of Encore. When you start an
American Idol competition, the game just doesn't feel like the show.
To begin with, your character customization options are extremely
limited. You can't create a singer from scratch, can't ch
http://www.chinese-microphone.com/Karaoke-Microphones.html ange a
character's name and can't change a model's body type. Not being able
to adequately make yourself kind of knocks the wind out of trying to
become the next Idol superstar and is even more depressing because
these options are included on the PlayStation 2 version of this
game.With the processing power of the 360 and the game's debut on said
system, you'd expect Konami to push what we've come to expect from
Karaoke Revolution's visuals, but Encore doesn't. In fact, it appears
the game is so grounded in trying to look real that it has no flair or
soul whatsoever. The judges are lifeless models, the performers on
stage barely move, and the sets are pretty bare.It's vanilla.When you
get rolling in the competition, things seem okay at first as far as
making the game feel like an episode of the show. Each judge is voiced
by their real-life counterpart and has a seemingly hefty pool of quips
to use, but when you advance to Hollywood or whatever stage is up
next, you're taken to a static screen where a list of names is cut
down to show who gets to move onto the next round. C'mon -- I don't
even get the chance to stand on stage with my opponents and watch them
sulk off in disgust? Also, there's no Ryan Seacrest. Instead, an
unknown, disembodied voice lets you know about the next round. I needs
my 'crest!©2008-02-07, IGN Entertainment, Inc. All Rights
