Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products today announced that Karaoke Revolution Glee is now available in retail stores nationwide on Wii. Combining music and footage from Fox’s award-winning hit television series GLEE, with the world’s most popular Karaoke video game, Karaoke Revolution Glee provides "Gleeks" the opportunity to immerse themselves in their favorite show like never before. The game features 30 original chart-topping musical numbers and captivating performances from Season One including "Don’t Stop Believin’", "Somebody to Love", "Gold Digger", "No Air", "Proud Mary", and more. Even more than the selection of songs is the ability for players to perform alongside their favorite GLEE characters — including the infamous Rachel Berry, football star Finn Hudson, and the Glee club’s fearless leader, Will Schuester. As an added bonus, Karaoke Revolution Glee offers exclusive songs and footage that have never been seen on television.
"Millions of fans nationwide have made GLEE one of the leading musical shows of our generation," said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "As leaders in the music game genre, we felt it was only natural to partner with FOX to create an experience that ‘Gleeks’ and gamers can enjoy in an interactive Karaoke experience."
"Karaoke Revolution Glee will take the franchise to a whole new level by giving fans a chance to pick up the mic and join their favorite characters on stage," said Gary Rosenfeld, Senior Vice President, New Media for Fox Consumer Products. "’Gleeks’ can now join the New Directions glee club and experience the show footage, themes, characters and music in a whole new way. We’re very pleased to be able to join forces with Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. to offer this to our devoted fan base."
Karaoke Revolution Glee utilizes Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.’s proprietary voice recognition technology, which accurately recognizes and scores vocal pitch and rhythm, helping gamers reach those hard-hitting notes and perfect their harmonies to their favorite tunes. In the game, players can perform as a soloist in single player mode and in harmonies or as a duet in multiplayer singing games. Additionally, unlockable content will be available in a special gameplay mode allowing gamers to access memorable show moments from Season One.
Karaoke Revolution Glee is now available at retailers nationwide for the SRP of $59.99 and comes bundled with a microphone. Karaoke Revolution Glee is also available exclusively for Wii.
