Really, the only point is to raise your score. So it isn't really a family fun game because the adults will get about 10 songs to choose from, the kids will get about 8, and everything else in the middle is stuff you've never heard before. Unlike Karaoke Revolution, the songs are either recognizable OR they aren't, based on what generation you came from. So there's no way around buying the entire package. The microphones are not compatible with other karaoke games AND the game isn't backwards compatible with other microphones.
But that's pretty much all the plus sides to owning this horribly done game. And yes, your voice gets recorded by the microphone so you can play it back. Yes, you get to see the original music videos that accompany the songs. This is NOT the UK product I am reviewing. Note: I am reviewing the product that has been officially released in the US. If you are shopping for this game on EBAY, look for a good price and don't forget to consider shipping and handling. On New Year's Eve we spent several hours playing in party mode and had fun: Can you play this game a lot without getting bored? I doubt it. several different options - pass the mic, battle, duet, etc. If you have a group of people who like to sing and recogize the songs on this version you will have fun. Anyone wanting to play would have to be no older than 40-ish or otherwise would not know most of the songs. I don't hate it, but I'm not in love with it either. Beware of playback mode.you never sound as good as you thought you did! While singing the songs on the game you will hear mostly the original song as opposed to your own voice, although watching the original videos as you sing is kind of cool. There are 30 songs and that's it.no chance to unlock new ones. I bought this game as a Christmas gift for my daughter. 30 songs you either love, hate or never heard of.
