How to play Karaoke Revolution Party on Mac

Game summary

Along with singing the songs, Karaoke Revolution Party also requires players to hit their marks on the pads as well as the notes on the screen. Along with the trademark vocal lines that scroll across the screen there are now occasional directional arrows to tell gamers when to jump on a particular direction. This is far from the aerobic insanity of the DDR games which can easily build up a sweat as dancers frantically try to keep putting their feet in the right place. Instead, the mode offers more of a light choreography addition to the game. Instead of the usual three dozen songs that the previous games have included, KRP sports 50 tracks that include some classics like "Sweet Caroline" and "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" as well as modern hits like "Crazy in Love" and "I Don't Wanna Be."
First released: Dec 2005

Play Karaoke Revolution Party on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Karaoke Revolution Party on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
