Karaoke on your PSP: P-Kara

P-Kara means song and dance routines in the middle of nowehere!


A karaoke simulator seems like an absolutely crazy program to put into your PSP. Where there's something crazy in the minds of man, however, there's also somebody crazy enough to implement it as an actual game. Hence Sony's new creation: P-Kara.

Via the powers of the Google translation software, we manage to get a little bit of insight into what we get from playing this game. It's certain that there's a karaoke singing mode as a headset will be bundled into the game package, and you start off with 20 different songs. Once the online component becomes available though, you can actually make use of two different payment services to download new songs to karaoke all night long with.

Speaking of karaoke, we might as well mention that P-Kara will have multiple features. Using P-Kara's karaoke function along with online play, you can actively engage in KvK: karaoke versus karaoke battling. The game ranks your singing prowess, records it, and can upload it onto a site to rank all P-Kara players who want to take the plunge and sing on the virtual stage. In extra mode, players can also do another Japanese novelty fad, the "para-para" dance, by doing DDR dance combinations with their fingers in tune with the music. Shop mode is the function you use if you want to purchase music online, while party mode is... well, a party! Party mode will allow players to link together, choose their favorite songs and take turns singing (or you could all sing) as their PSPs randomly select a tune from those selected by the players.

Sounds like insane gaming, devoid of killing or rolling things up in a ball, but if the music's good, why not make it a fun little import for yourself? Keep your eye out for this fun little title, and pray it gets farther than Japanese shores.

Yeah, this is what the psp needs. Something creative. A lot of gamers may like this....it's not all about great graphics all the time.

 » VERY Creative! Good Idea!
The Japanese seem to be very creative when it comes to gaming! I think it would have to be VERY successful in Japan for an English version of it to be realesed though... But hey, if you know Japanese you could just "bop along" to this one lol.

when you think of your psp it's portable gaming. Picture yourself playing this on a bus or something. If you have a ps2 you have it inside, the psp has very low volume so that just makes it more imbarassing
