E3 10: Yes! Karaoke Revolution: Glee is totally a thing! photo

This fall, Konami is going to deliver what you've all been asking for -- a karaoke game featuring your favorite songs as sung by the cast of the hit show Glee.

It's called Karaoke Revolution: Glee, and it's based on the core of Konami's long-running sing-a-long franchise. It's exactly what you'd expect: players work their way through singing a number of the songs fans of the show are likely already familiar with. They're all covers, as heard in the series -- in the early demo I was shown, we saw footage of Glee's resident preggers teen, cheerleader Quinn Fabray, singing Diana Ross' "You Keep Me Hanging On."

Konami is aiming to include most, if not all, of the tracks heard in the first season of Glee, which recently wrapped to mega ratings. What players won't be able to do is design their own McKinley High student and rub elbows with their favorite Glee characters. Instead, the title is being designed as "fan service," giving fans a way to simply sing along to and watch familiar performances. (I was crushed to learn that the game wouldn't be rendering any of the game's characters as animated avatars; seeing a digital Rachel Berry would be a dream come true.)

Love or hate the show, there's no doubt that Karaoke Revolution: Glee is a smart move on Konami's part. The show's soundtracks consistently are among the top sellers on iTunes; there's little question that the game will find sales based on its name alone.

Damdn, I was hoping for a weird Rock Band 3 DLC pack with harmonies and such. Ah well, guess I'll have to get a new game for this, because this is something I need.

I did like their version of Van Halen's "Jump" but that's really all I know of Glee.

Cool for kids, I suppose.

The Neil Patrick Harris rendition of Aerosmith's Dream On kicks some serious ass. Might have to get the game for that one alone. :P

"glee....... what the fuck has happened to the hobby?"

Kids play videogames, therefore games are released that are relevant to their interests. A fucking shocker, I know.

"well tell those kids to fucking play a better game then this, pick em up new Super mario Wii at least."

Kids will play what they wanna play. Adults will bitch like they're little kids. Life marches on.

Glee needs to stop driving home the worst broad-stroked writing stereotypes about gay people. The one time I watched that stupid show, I felt like someone was standing next to me with a bullhorn and telling that I better stop liking macho sports or I'm a Nazi redneck homophobe.

While I like the Glee interpretations of shitty songs, why in the hell would I want to sing them? I don't have a damn voice.

I expect to watch Stella, Tactix, and Wedgewu play this game a whole lot. I'm pretty excited.

OMG, best show ever! My girlfriend and I were hoping they'd make a game for this show, especially after the season finale! I'm really hoping they put some time into this and don't just poop out a half-baked game.

I like that you watch one episode of a show then consider yourself qualified to claim that it displays only one viewpoint on an issue.
