American Idol = Family Fun

Aleister Crowley from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

I wanted a game worthy enough to play with my 2 boys. KRAI was just the ticket. Great song list for challenging fun. Simon, Randy & Paula add the whole slice o' American Idol Pie to make it even a greater family game. Sure, the song list is only 40 songs (unlockables included) but they are actually pretty fun. There is NO DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT (like the XBox 360 or PS3) but still it's fun. The game costs [$] but, how can you put a price on spending Quality Family time with the whole Family. Read more

American Idol ROCKS!!

Stevie Z. from Indianapolis, IN

This game really delivers as you step onto the stage of American Idol and get a taste of what it means to be a celebrity! My wife and I have blown away several songs (a perfect 100,000 points) on easy and we're working our way up! Excellent for parties or just hanging out with the family. I'm hoping Nintendo will come out with a Nashville Star version of this game! Read more

Frustration Continues

Grandpop from Mullica Hill, NJ

The microphone that came with the game did not work. It took a number of attempts before we finally concluded that we were doing everything right and the game did not work. Eventually we had to go to a local store and buy a microphone that the local folks knew would work with Wii. Once we got it working the kids loved it. [...] Read more

Fun but VERY disappointing

tugsbooch from Undisclosed

My wife is a great singer and loves AI and in the 10 years we've been married she's never been a gamer. I bought her this game and the family gathered one Sunday afternoon to check it out. We started singing and slowly she took over the mic. It was soo funny watching everyone walk away out of boredom whiles she wailed away. I wlaked through the family room about 3 hours later and she was still playing; by herself. So from that perspective it was excellent. The downfall began when I googled searching for new song downloads and found out this capability does not exist for Wii. Very frustrating as the 40 song selection is OK, but very limited. More frustration came when I found out other game systems offer downloads of new songs. She's about done with all the songs and unfortunately there is an end in sight. Had the game had downloading capabilities I would have rated it a 5 star. instead I am being very gracious giving it a 3 star. Read more

Could Be Better

konamike from Kona, Hawaii

When I first purchased this game I had the hopes of having the availability to download more songs from the Wii internet connection. After I got home I was a little disappointed. I continued on and played the game with my wife and a few friends, it was a good time. I also played a little through by myself so I could really let loose! That was fun also, the judges are very accurate in judging the performance. Also, the note tube needs a little adjusting to match the output from the tv but after adjusting the settings the gameplay is fun. After a few days of playing, the songs became repititious and I wanted to have a better selection, there are a few songs that you can unlock but not enough to keep my interest. Overall its a fun game for a while but will loose your interest after a few weeks. Read more
