    Is it the next "DDR?" No. Will a 13 year old girl love this game? Yeah, I think so.

    A cash grab...a shallow game. It's a novelty that will disappoint many in the long run.

    If you buy this, you've been duped. This game is a quick cash-in and isn't even worth a rental. Save the receipt and return it for "Karaoke Revolution."

    Well, much like the show itself. Repetitive, boring, and not worth the time spent on it.
