    A solid title from a company with years of experience making karaoke games, with a very real possibility of a steady revenue stream for Konami if they handle the DLC well.

    Its online and offline modes make it an ideal purchase for karaoke nuts.

    Encore is a solid sequel and an enjoyable experience, but in 2008, Karaoke Revolution is starting to feel a bit outdated compared to the emerging competition.

    Encore is a decent party game but it sure lacks the depth and gotta-play-it power of "Rock Band". [May 2008, p.72]

    This game was alright. It could have been much better. Definitely not worth spending money on, but it's not the worst game in the world. I don't think I will play it very often.… Expand
