| Big, loud, vocal intonations are the key to karaoke. Overpower
'em with vigor and booming skills. Meek voices won't win the
day or any respect from the onlookers at the karaoke bar. The inability to carry a
tune may hamper your ascent to the top of the pops or fail you
in the karaoke scene but an alternative exists. A virtual
option where you can sing until you're spent without damaging
the musical sensibilities of others or offend delicate ears.
At home alone, in your underwear, hamming it up with DA3, no one
cares. Especially not the forgiving Dream Audition 3
software. You won't be ranked on lyrical accuracy or even
intelligibility. Mumble and stumble your way through the
appointed song with the correct vocal intonation and string
together melisma after melody and you'll be fine.
Formulaically identical to the original Dream Audition and
it's sequel, players follow the rhythm of the J-Pop song and
try their best to match the tones and sings the lyrics
scrolling on screen. Professional karaoke players or show-offs
may want to try the "Key Mode" which will grade you
on how well you move between keys during a song. A large
assortment of J-Pop songs from the likes of "The Yellow
Monkey", Glay, Judy and Mary, Misia, and Whiteberry rock
your world. Sort of. The DA3 game packaging includes a USB
microphone at the price of Y6800, a much harried descent from
the original Y10800 pricing of Dream Audition 1 back in the
day.
