description Karaoke Revolution Overview
Karaoke Revolution is a music rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 in 2003. Players sing licensed songs into a microphone, and the game evaluates how closely their pitch and timing follow the displayed vocal track rather than judging the words themselves. It predates Harmonix's work on Guitar Hero and helped establish microphone-based performance games on home consoles.
