  • Karaoke Revolution
  • Karaoke Revolution is a spinoff series of Dance Dance Revolution where the player sings along with the songs.
  • A Rhythm Game co-developed by Konami, Blitz Games, and Harmonix, where players must sing along to popular songs while being judged on if they're singing on the right pitch or not, as indicated by a piano roll and pitch bars accompanying the scrolling lyrics. The original version of the game was released in November 2003 on the Play Station 2, followed by several MissionPackSequels (labelled as "volumes") that added features such as ports to other consoles (Xbox on Volume 2, Game Cube on Party), duets (Volume 3), and dance pad support (Party). There were even versions under the guise of American Idol home games. The popularity of the series would begin to tamper off once Harmonix released Guitar Hero, it too morphed into a phenomenon, but this time it was one much greater than what Karaoke Revolution achieved. Coinciding with Activision's acquisition of the franchise, Harmonix would throw together what it developed for both Guitar Hero and Karaoke Revolution (along with some other new mechanics) to create a certain other music game. Konami would reboot the series sans Harmonix in 2009 with a new release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii simply titled "Karaoke Revolution", now featuring only master tracks, better multiplayer, and other new features. However, they didn't take the logical route of adding guitar and drum support to the game either, since they somehow wanted to keep vocals out of what they produced for that niche instead!
