The 40 number ones karaoke
Rock Revolution features more than 40 songs, none of them original, as already mentioned. The directory contains versions of songs like "Am I Evil" by Metallica, "Detroit Rock City" Kiss, "Given Up" Linkin Park "Heading Out to the Highway" Judas Priest and "Run to the Hills" of Iron Maiden, to name a few.

If you intend to buy your first game of this genre, Rock Revolution will probably not be the best option available.
