I am so disappointed that they copped out with this game and put in the show shortened versions of the songs for this release. With the previous release, they used full length songs, used show footage where possible, and filled in the rest with other clips. With this release, it was just the footage of the short song for the show only. How maddening! My two favorites to sing, Bad Romance and Total Eclipse of the Heart, were the biggest victims of this laziness. I think if there are any future releases of this game with more songs, I will wait to purchase it to see if they did full length or cheaped out. I will not buy the shortened songs again!

I was intially really excited about getting this game because I loved the music from the second half of season 1 of Glee. I thought that Amazon would have been more correct about the song count that was actually included in the game. There is only 20 songs not 30 as stated in the product description. I probably would have reconsidered knowing that I was paying $40 for only that many songs. However, I did order the game on Sunday and for .99 cents more I got the game on Tuesday. This was one of the only places that offered the "software only" as I have numerous microphones from many other singing games. The song titles are as follows:

Bad Romance, Beautiful, Beth, Boy is Mine, Dream A Little Dream of Me, Dream On, Gives You Hell, Good Vibrations, Hello, I Love You, House is Not A Home, Ice Ice Baby, Jessie's Girl, Lady Is A Tramp, Like A Virgin, Over The Rainbow, Pink Houses, Shout It Out Loud, To Sir With Love, Total Eclipse Of The Heart and U Can't Touch This.

Some of the additional changes to the game are:

Shooting Star Mode: Can be played with up to 6 players. 2 people sing with 4 other players with wii remotes shoot at the stars.

High Scores: Check out your high scores for each song in the game. Looks kind of like a report card. Scores are broken down by difficulty and gameplay mode. Only the scores from songs sung in Quick Play Mode are used.

(NEW) Marathon Mix: Take every song in the game in one massive playlist (20 songs), can edit in playlist.

All in all the game is great but seems kind of short with only 20 songs.

I received this today with very high expectations for the game. After playing the first, I was anxious to see what they had in-store for Volume 2. Upon opening the packaging and seeing the song selection, I was honestly slightly disappointed. There were a couple of givens I thought would be on the game (Faithfully and Hello) but both were passed up; I'm assuming this has something to do with the record companies releasing the rights for the song on the game, or perhaps they would have been too difficult to sing? That part remains uncertain. HOWEVER, I maintained a sense of optimism and played it anyway. For two hours straight. One slightly worn-out voice and remote battery later, I was thoroughly satisfied. This one is more challenging. They don't make the pitch quite as easy to hit as last time, and the words move faster, so be prepared. They also cut down some of the songs; Total Eclipse of the Heart was shortened, and that's really my only complaint. The song can't stand on its own shortened. Some positive notes: more options, game modes, the interface is more fun and creative, and there's a wider selection of songs for men. Overall, I'd recommend the game.

Honest reviews on Karaoke Revolution Glee: Volume 2 - Nintendo Wii

Coming from a 14 year old's perspective, and a total Gleek and Rachel fan :) , I really enjoy the game. The song selection on the Karaoke Revolution Glee: Vol. 1 was better (mostly because I wanted all of Rachel's songs. But there are more songs on the game overall) but Vol. 2 was good as well. Know when buying that you can't turn of the vocals of those singing, so you are forced to sing with them. You are allowed to change the mic input though (how much you can hear yourself from the TV) which is nice. Overall, if you are deciding on either Vol. 1 or 2 because you don't want both, get Vol. 1 (better songs... etc.) Can't wait for Vol . 3! I think it comes out Oct. 2011. :)

My 10yo daughter had the first Glee karaoke and was excited to get the second in her Easter basket. My bad for not checking the rating of Teen, not Everyone like the first one~eeks!! There are a couple of songs/videos that are not suitable for younger children. Not sure why they felt they had to go this route but buyer beware. If you play in Marathon Mix mode, you can removed anything you might find objectionable from the mix.

Other than that~we've enjoyed the game. The song length seems good, even on the shortened songs. Marathon mix is fun. The scrapbook feature is OK. Nice variety to the song list. The instructions give you no help on how to "unlock" Ice Baby & Pink Houses so not sure if we'll ever do those but if you like the music of Glee & karaoke, you'll likely like this game.
