Wannabe rock stars will love playing this family-friendly game--- but only if you're willing to risk Cowell's snooty put-downs.

"Konami's Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol" for the Sony PlayStation 2. So now aspiring singers tired of watching others soak up the spotlight on the wildly popular "American Idol" television show can now have their 15 minutes of fame.

As you work your way to become the next American Idol, you must sing along with the on-screen lyrics, while the game's voice-recognition technology will determine if you're singing in the proper key.

Now the stage is yours. Just enjoy the spotlight as you belt your heart out!

Hah, many of the TV shows are starting to come up with video games. I guess it makes alot of sense. Also, many celebrities are trying to come up with their own video games. It creates a good source of extra income, but I must say that most of these games aren't really that entertaining.

Can we say that is a publicity stunt in some way ? With the aid of a supported USB microphone/headset (purchased separately or bundled with the game for $20 more), gamers can play as a contestant who sings along with 40 pop and R&B hits from the past four decades, such as "Can't Help Falling in Love" etc etc etc , now does that get into my mind .
