Konami has announced plans to release two new games in the Karaoke Revolution series this November. Karaoke Revolution Volume 3 will go to the PlayStation 2.
The main new addition to Karaoke Revolution Volume 3 for the PlayStation 2 is dual microphone support, which allows for duets and competitive simultaneous singing. Three different modes will let players either cooperate or try to outsing each other. Duet mode is the cooperative mode, and here players will harmonize and sing different parts of the same song. Sing-off mode has players switching off from phrase to phrase, though both players sing the chorus. Knock-out mode is a unison mode, where both players sing the same thing at the same time, and the better singer wins.
The song list for Volume 3 contains a wide array of music, including several songs that are intended to work well for the duet mode. Though the unlockable songs have yet to be revealed, here is a partial list of offerings:
