his is everything I’ve wanted this franchise to become. An incredible mix of dozens of songs from several genres form the core of the title, but it’s all the additions that push this one over the top. Quite literally a peripheral lover’s dream, this party game includes functionality for the EyeToy, the dance pad, and duet microphones. Constant unlockables, modes, and mini-games keep players busy as you get new songs and characters. The Create-A-Character mode is flexible and fun, even allowing you to put in your own face as created by the EyeToy Cameo capability. By yourself or singing duets with a partner, there is a ton to explore and laugh about – especially on Xbox, where around 100 additional songs are available for download. Karaoke still isn’t even remotely for everyone, but if you don’t have a problem making a fool of yourself, this year’s installment is the one to play.
