"'American Idol' is arguably one of the most successful shows on TV," says Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment. "By bringing the game to a variety of platforms, Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore, provides gamers the one-of-a-kind experience of being singing stars in their own living room."
Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore allows players to play the part of an "American Idol" contestant as they audition, earn an invitation to Hollywood, perform on center stage and receive verbal feedback on their performance from the judges. Just like the TV show, the evaluation by the game's judges - Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and the always entertaining Simon Cowell -- will affect whether or not they move on to the next round of competition.
Players will be able to personalize their own contestant with clothing, hair styles and accessories in the Character Customization mode, creating a specialized look that is sure to catch the attention of the judges and the crowd. Players can also create a 3D model of their own heads with the EyeToy USB Camera (for PlayStation 2), PLAYSTATION Eye and Xbox LIVE Vision to bring them directly into the actual competition. Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers can also select and download from a catalog of over 140 songs via Xbox LIVE.
"Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore absolutely rocks and we're sure it's going to entertain all those Idol fans out there looking to personalize their own 'American Idol' experience," added David Luner, Senior Vice President of Interactive & Consumer Products, FremantleMedia Enterprises in North America.
