American Idol is now also a PS2 game
 The creators of Dance Dance Revolution, Konami, is bringing gamers an American Idol Revolution. The company has recently announced that Karaoke Revolution’s American Idol has officially gone gold. Just before the show starts on prime time TV, gamers can tune up their vocal chords and embarrass themselves to no end once this game hits store shelves for the PS2.

According to the press release, “Based on America¹s Most Watched TV Show Gets Ready To Take the Stage with a Huge Song Library, Groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence and Commentary from Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson.” The game will also sport the use of the PS2’s USB microphone. So for all those times you thought you could sing a song better than a contestant, there’s nothing stopping you except shame and dignity.

Karaoke’s American Idol will feature 40 hit songs ranging from an eclectic mix of musical genres; there’s chart-toppers that will range from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Players will actually take on the role of an American Idol contestant in the new American Idol mode as they audition, earn an invitation to Hollywood and face the expert evaluation of the judges. In fact, the judges are actually programmed to make critical remarks based on player efforts.

According to the press release, “Using a unique gameplay mechanic new to the series, comments from the judges and the player¹s popularity with the crowd will ultimately decide whether the player moves on to the later rounds of the competition. Further immersing the player in the American Idol experience, Simon and Randy will critique many specific aspects of each performance including pitch, consistency, and song difficulty, bringing their own unique personalities to the game.” Gameplay wise, the game seems to have some elements of depth to its entertainment qualities.

Rated E10+ (for Everyone) and scheduled to be released on January 2nd, 2007, you can look for Karaoke Revolution: American Idol to hit store shelves exclusively for the PS2.
