You cannot sing along with this game. Do not buy this if you plan on singing along with it. To sing along you must get the Karaoke Revolution version of American Idol. This game is nothting but button pushing on the controller. Microphones don't work with it, the game is misleading, don't waste your money at any price.

Bad Microphone.....Great Game--<>--

Me and my friend loved this game and we played all the time...we only had the one microphone(that came with the game). And then we stopped playing. And about a week later we tried playing it again and the microphone was all messed up... it would miss like half the notes like it was turning on and off.

AWESOME game i think i just got a bad mic.

ITS OKAY

This is NOT a sing along game. It is totally misleading when Amazon shows you that customers who bought this game also purchased the microphone. This game does not use a mic! This is a role playing game, not a sing along. Very dissapointing.

Awful

This game stinks. It was "a complete and utter disaster", as Simon would say. DO NOT waste your money on this game. You don't even get to sing. YOou just push buttons. pointless. i would go with the american idol kareoke revolution.With kareoke revolution, you actually sing into a mic.

bad in every sense of the word

This is just a flat out horrible game. When I first heard American Idol would be making its debut as a video game, I immediately knew it would be a horrible idea, and it was. Bad bad bad.

The fact that the game puts too much thought and effort into selecting a hairstyle and dressing up your teenage Idol character just makes the game stink even more. As for the actual singing part, well, pressing buttons on the controller JUST the right way will help you stay in tune with the musical notes you hear. This isn't any fun, though. Avoid.

Say what you want, but my 8 year old LOVES this game

I've read the negative reviews but my 8 year old son bought this game used and has enjoyed it a lot. It's one of his favorites. It's a great kids game. As a parent I recommend it!

this is the stupidest game i have ever played. do not buy this game if u do then you r very dumb, really it is a waste of time. and also when it is time for america to vote, they just put anybody's name. even if you were the best. and if u sounded awesome, they say no or something. they give you a small selection of songs to choose from. it is either like one or none. i think i wasted my money. i think you should like, sing into a mic, and they start from there. that would be better than this dumb game is now. i mean cmon, pressing buttons?! a 4 year old could do that. let alone a 13 year old!!! don't buy this. if you were smart, you wouldn't buy it~!!!

I am very disappointed in this game. I was expecting this game to be similar to Karaoke Revolution, but it does NOT even compare to it. The box on this game is misleading, it says, "Sing along to 40 top hits," and that's sing along as in look at the lyrics on the screen and sing them without the vocals playing in the background. American Idol judged people on their singing ability, but this game judges you on your ability to press the right buttons at the right time. Don't waste your money on this game if you are looking for a good karaoke game.

I had one of my friends bring to my sleepover on Saturday. We played for 7 HOURS!!!!! We liked singing along and laughing at some of the outfits. I think it had a glitch though, because Simon was nice and Paula was evil.
