Blitz Games and Konami working on the next instalment of Karaoke Revolution®.

26 July 2009 Konami has once again selected Blitz Games (a division of leading developer Blitz Games Studios) to bring its skill and experience to the original singing party game franchise: Karaoke Revolution. The new game in the series will be fully equipped with 50 new master recordings to sing along to on Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii.

“Karaoke Revolution is special for a number of reasons,” says Project Director Mark Hardisty. “Not only was it the original console karaoke game but it now also features some great new customisation options for both characters and venues. Players can create avatars of themselves using our facial and body morphing technology and have total control over the way the stage look. We also have the original music videos that can be projected onto the customised stages as you sing along.”

Everyone will have the chance to sing along to their favourite tracks, with 50 completely new contemporary and classic hits to try out from licensed master recordings.

Become a singing sensation with a whole range of great new features:

• Players can choose between single player Career Mode and a newly expanded Party Mode, where you can set up parties for up to 16 players
• PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers will also have the option to play against up to eight other players or sing a duet with a friend online.
• There will be an option to create playlists in order to sing songs in succession; the player can select up to five songs to perform to or choose to play songs at random.
• All venues offer limitless customisation. Choose from a large selection of stages, props and lighting options to create the venue of your dreams.
• Players can create a virtual representation of themselves, including facial and body morphing,
• Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers can see themselves on the venue screens using the Xbox LIVE Camera or the Playstation® Eye.
• Playstation®3 and Xbox 360® versions have the option to download more master tracks.
