KONAMI DOUBLES THE FUN WITH DUEL MIC SUPPORT FOR
KARAOKE REVOLUTION VOLUME 3
Perform Duets or Battle Head-To-Head on more
than 35 New Songs in the Latest Addition to the Smash Hit Series, Coming this
November 2004
REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. – August 20, 2004 – Konami Digital Entertainment – America,
a division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced that Karaoke
Revolution Volume 3 will take the hit music video game franchise to new heights
this November when it debuts for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system. In response to popular demand, the newest title in the groundbreaking
music series will let karaoke crooners sing with – and compete against – friends
with the addition of duel microphone support and exciting new modes for two mic
gameplay. In addition, Karaoke Revolution Volume 3 includes more than 35 new
songs – from timeless classics to today’s hottest pop, rock and R&B hits to
deliver the ultimate party game for the entire family.
Karaoke Revolution Volume 3’s multiple two-microphone gameplay modes allow for
karaoke fun for hours on end. Duets mode lets aspiring pop stars play as a team
and shoot for high scores by singing along to classic karaoke duet tunes such as
“Under Pressure,” “Love Shack” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Players can
even practice their separate parts and learn how to harmonize with each other to
achieve the perfect score. For some friendly competition, two players can square
off and take turns singing every other phrase in a song while joining together
during the chorus in Sing-Off mode. The player with the most points at the end
of the track wins. Knockout mode offers the fiercest karaoke battle yet, pitting
players against each other while singing the same song in unison. A battle meter
keeps track of the gamers’ progress and when it fills up for one player, the
other is knocked out!
Karaoke Revolution Volume 3 combines the game’s proprietary voice recognition
technology – which judges and scores players as they sing their way to stardom –
with a variety of new characters, outfits and venues, including many hidden and
bonus items. Compatible with any PlayStation® 2 USB headset or microphone
peripheral, the collection of well-known tunes includes “Beat It,” “Killing Me
Softly,” “New York, New York” and “You’re The One That I Want.” Following is a
partial list of songs included in the game:
