Copyright/Contact Info ================================================================================ || 1. Introduction || ================================================================================ Karaoke Revolution fans, it is time to rejoice! Konami has given us a new KR game following last year's hit, Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol. The new incarnation, American Idol Encore, expands on some of the elements introduced in last year's game. The AI tournament mode is back, and in addition to Randy and Simon, Paula Abdul has joined the panel of judges who will critique your performances. The game feels more like American Idol than ever before and with 40 new hit songs and more to come in DLC packs in the future, (More to come in this section later.) This FAQ will explore all the modes of the game and include the song lyrics, as well as information regarding the scores you can achieve in the game. There will also be a list of the extras you can unlock, such as videos, new songs and extra characters. ================================================================================ | A. Microphone Compatibility | ================================================================================ I've added this section because there were a lot of questions about which mics would work with the different versions of the game. I can confirm that all the Logitech hand-held microphones that were packaged with previous versions of the game, as well as the Rock Band microphone, will work with ANY of the versions of American Idol Encore. The Xbox 360 bundle came with an identical microphone, as do the Wii and PS2 versions. It is likely that this will be the same case when the PS3 version comes out. Not sure about the headsets that came with the first games, so if anyone has word about that please let me know. So if you have a mic from before, go ahead and buy the bundle and you can sing duets using your old and new mics. If you already have at least two, you may want to wait until the non-PS2 versions come out in non-bundled form, unless you want to have a backup mic just in case. (I would actually suggest it if you have the extra money to spend, as one of my old mics broke about a year ago and if I hadn't gotten the bundles for 2 of the other games I would have been down a mic for a while until the next bundle or until I bought another one.) ================================================================================ | B. Acronyms & Abbreviations | ================================================================================ I use some acronyms and abbreviations throughout the guide, so I've listed the common ones here for reference. If you notice any that I don't have on this list and you don't understand, please let me know. If there are any listed here that don't appear in the guide, it's possible that I plan to include them in future versions of the guide. ***GAME TERMS*** AI - American Idol AIE - American Idol Encore AL - Arcade League DLC - Downloadable Content HtH or HTH - Head to Head KR - Karaoke Revolution ***CONSOLES*** PS2 - PlayStation 2 PS3 - PlayStation 3 X360 - Xbox 360 ***OTHER TERMS*** ================================================================================ || 2. Characters || ================================================================================ ================================================================================ | A. Initial Characters | ================================================================================ These characters are the out-of-the-box available characters. They require no modification for use, though they can be edited using the clothing customizer. 1. Doug 2. Gibson 3. Keith 4. Eddie 5. DeVron 6. Kazz 7. Jesse 8. Scott 9. LeAnne 10. Soo Ling 11. Lindsey 12. Aneeka 13. Vicky 14. Jasmin 15. Ishani 16. Sammy ================================================================================ | B. Unlockable Characters | ================================================================================ These characters must be unlocked by meeting certain requirements before they can be selected, used or modified. 1. Raphael 2. Oliver 3. Richard 4. Nathan 5. Angela 6. Naoko 7. Katelyn 8. Sarah ================================================================================ | c. Clothing Customization | ================================================================================ The Clothing Customization is similar to the Charactor Creator in the previous versions of the game, but you can only modify your character's outfits instead of all the aspects of the character (including body type). The customizer can be selected in a number of different spots: Before you select a song (go to the character picker and press A) In the Options menu, select "Wardrobe" In the Xbox LIVE menu, select "Setup Xbox LIVE Player" You can also choose to change the character's name, but be aware that this will permanently change the name and you can not revert it to the original without changing it manually. If you do change the names they will no longer match with my guide, so you will have to figure out which character it really is based on the position on the character wheel. 1-8 are the initial males, 9-12 are the unlocked males, 13-20 are the initial females and 21-24 are the unlocked females. They are listed in the guide the same way they are shown on the character wheel from left to right. This section will include a list of all the options - every single one - that are available in the character creator, selections AND colors. If an option has different colors, they will be next to the selection in parenthesis. If not, there will simply be the selection, nothing else. Any article that has an asterisk must be unlocked before it is available; they are probably unlocked with certain characters. If anyone has any confirmation on this, please let me know. *** NOTE *** The different colors and variations of items noted in parenthesis are not separate in the list, I just combined them to save space. =============== Male Characters =============== HATS: No Hat (Orange/Red & Blue/Yellow "10"/Black Pattern/Yellow) Cap (Orange/Blue "8"/Black & White/Green Flame/Black Flower) Cap (back)

Western Boots ================================================================================ | D. Game Stages | ================================================================================ When playing in any mode that allows you to choose a stage, there are 8 stages you can choose from: 1. Audition Room 2. Hollywood Theater 3. Semi Finals Stage 4. Finals Stage 5. Recording Studio 6. Nightclub 7. New York 8. Stadium All stages are available from the beginning of the game. ================================================================================ || 3. Game Modes (Single Player) || ================================================================================ ================================================================================ | A. Quickplay | ================================================================================ Quickplay mode is very similar to the Arcade mode in the earlier Karaoke Revolution games. The major differences are that you can sing as many songs as you want without exiting the mode, and there is no stipulation for the difficulty of the next song you must pick. All songs are available in this mode as long as they have been unlocked or purchased (if necessary) first. ================================================================================ | B. Medley | ================================================================================ With a medley you can choose from 2-5 songs and sing a compilation with a part of each song. Scoring is the same as any song with the same number of phrases as the medley you create. Apparently song sections are random (I restarted the same medley a few times and got a different first score each time, all Greats) so even if you were to figure out all the combinations you would still be able to get a different medley each time. You can also choose random medleys, 2-5 songs, where the computer will choose that number of songs which you can then confirm or change, or mystery medleys, 2-5 songs that will be chosen without being listed and you won't find out which songs until you actually go in to sing. To create Medley, go to the left menu, choose "Create Medley" and pick which kind of medley (and songs, if not a random/mystery medley) to play one. Medleys are scored out of 100000 points. ================================================================================ || 4. American Idol Modes || ================================================================================ ================================================================================ | A. Single Song | ================================================================================ This mode is almost identical to Quickplay mode except you can't choose to sing a medley. Also, at the end, the judges will critique your performance like in the American Idol contests. ================================================================================ | B. Tournament Mode | ================================================================================ In this mode, you can choose from four different length tournaments: Mini (4 rounds, 2 short and 2 full songs) Short (8 rounds, 2 short and 6 full songs) Medium (13 rounds, 3 short and 10 full songs) Full (18 rounds, 4 short and 14 full songs) When choosing your first song, you will also select the difficulty you want to play on for the entire tournament and whether you want your score to be displayed or not. The rounds are split into a certain number of sections and once you pick a song in that section you cannot pick it again until the next section. For example, you need to pick 3 different songs for the first 3 rounds in the Mini contest, but you can pick any song for the final song. At the end of each round the judges evaluate your performance and you are given either a pass or fail slip to see if you move on to the next round. ================================================================================ | C. Multi Player Contest | ================================================================================ (I have not played a multi-player contest nor do I plan to, so this section is based on conjecture and may not be completely accurate. Let me know if you've played and found any differences between the actual gameplay and my guesses.) In the Multi Player Contest, you can choose from 2-8 players, 1-7 rounds, whether to have virtual opponents and (if virtual opponents are off) whether to have eliminations. If the number of songs is 1 less than the number of players, one player would be eliminated each round, otherwise there would be some other way to determine how many players are eliminated when. If there are no eliminations, decisions of who would win would likely be based on score and/or the number of favorable comments given by the judges. ================================================================================ || 5. Song Guide || ================================================================================ HOW THE GUIDE WORKS: I have taken the lyrics directly from the game (save some minor edits where the on-screen lyrics don't quite match what the vocals sound like) and each line represents a phrase in the game. For phrases that are longer than 80 characters (the width of this guide) the second part of the phrase is indented 3 spaces. Sections of the song in the short version are designated by the brackets and indented one space (or one additional space for long phrase continuations) and all other lines appear only in the full version. Short versions have no other differences from the full versions. Spoken words will be designated by parentheses. ================================================================================ | A.

This version will only include the scores you will get for phrases should you be on your way to a perfect score. For a complete list of the score leading up to the end, phrase by phrase, with a cumulative total as each phrase's score is added, you can see the Excel spreadsheet I created to help me with these charts at the following URL: http://www.karaokerevolution.net/aiecombo.xls Note that these are for the ones that have max 100,000 point scores only. Other versions of the game apparently keep the 50,000 point scoring system and will correspond to the old charts.

Strategies | ================================================================================ This section is meant to give you strategies to keep in mind while singing the songs to help you aim for a high score. The first and most general strategy is to PRACTICE! Nothing can beat practice, so keep singing a song until you master it to your satisfaction. Here are some other general strategies: Sing in your register - If a song is too high for you, sing it an octave lower and if it's too low then sing higher. The game automatically corrects for the octave and you won't be penalized. All you have to match is the pitch. Learn the song - Listen to a song a few times to get it in your head. Once you can sing it to yourself, try it out on the game. Sing at your level - If you're a new singer, or if you aren't very confident in your talents, start on Easy mode. After you begin getting very high or even perfect scores in Easy, move to Medium, and so on. Practicing on the lower levels can help you master the songs just like listening. Get help - If you're still having trouble, find a friend or family member that's also a good singer. Have him/her sing with you or teach you any tricks they know. Singing with someone else is a great way to unleash your inner voice. Learn the rhythms and repeats - If a song has a certain rhythm throughout, follow it and use it to your advantage while singing. Similarly, if a song has a certain phrase repeated a number of times, such as the chorus, learn that part. Once you have that one section mastered, you may have learned half the song or more! Then just fill in the rest of the song and you're on your way! Don't sing the words - If a particular song or section is giving you a lot of trouble, try humming the notes or singing on "Ooh" until you get it down, then add in the words later. For the rest of the strategies I'm going to split them up into three sections, one for each difficulty of song, and then I'm going to split them up further, sometimes to the different songs. Specific strategies for songs - COMING SOON! ================================================================================ || 6. Multiplayer Modes || ================================================================================ ========== |A. Duets| 1-4 teams, 2 players each (2 microphones) ========== Duets are songs that are sung cooperatively by two players at the same time. They are new to Volume 3 and add a new dimension to gameplay. The duet is scored similar to the single player modes, but the score is split between the two parts. There are two types of duets, unison and true duets. Unison Duets: These songs are solo songs, so both players since the part in unison. The score for these songs is 50000 per player for a total of 100000. True Duets: These songs are duet songs, so each player has his or her own part to sing. The scores are not divided equally between players, so one player may get a higher score than the other. However, the scores still add up to 100000. Short Songs: Same rules apply for both duets but the scores are max 60000. Medleys: If all unison songs, each player can get up to 50000 but if there are any true duets the scoring for those sections will be dependent on the scoring in the duet and the scores may shift between players. Duets can be played with one team, cooperative, or multi-team, teams against each other. You can pick 1-7 songs/rounds. The on-disc True Duet songs are: Bohemian Rhapsody Close My Eyes Forever Copacabana Midnight Train to Georgia September Sweet Dreams Time of the Season You Can't Hurry Love See the Song Guide for the breakdown of lyrics in the true duets. =================== |B. Battle: League| 2-8 players (1 microphone) =================== In a league match, you can choose 2-8 players, 1-7 rounds, and short or full songs. The winner of this mode is the player with the highest total score after all rounds. You can create medleys in this mode. ========================= |C. Battle: Head to Head| 2 players (2 microphones) ========================= In Head to Head mode, players sing the entire song in unison. There is a bar on the left side of the screen between the players' scores. If one player scores better than another on a phrase, the bar will move toward the other player. You can choose to have instant knock out on or off. If it is on and one player does well enough the other player will be knocked out instantly. If knock outs are off or both players survive until the end, the player with the higher score wins the round. If both players score the same the round ends in a tie. You can choose the best of 1, 3, 5, or 7 and whichever player wins more rounds will win the contest, or if they have the same number of wins it will be a tie for the entire match. You can choose short or full songs in this mode, and you can create medleys. ==================== |D. Xbox LIVE Modes| ==================== The Xbox LIVE American Idol Tournament, Arcade League and Head To Head modes are almost identical to the other multiplayer modes other than the fact that they are online. There are two types of Xbox LIVE matches, Player Matches and Ranked Matches. Player Matches allow for private slots and you can invite friends to the game. Ranked Matches do not allow for private slots, you can not invite friends to the game, and your performance affects your TrueSkill rank. If you do well your rank will go up and if you do poorly your rank will go down. The amount of increase or decrease depends on your score and your opponent's score. ================================================================================ || 8.
