So, seeing as there are millions of you reading, we're going to roll our eyes when we relay that Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group is looking to create video games, along the lines of singing games like Karaoke Revolution or Lips, based on his musicals. But know this: If you should happen to steal a glimpse of us as you walk away and see just a hint of our heads bobbing, you'll know exactly what's on repeat on our iPods.

Who is on first? [pause] I mean the fellow’s name. [pause] The guy on first. [pause] The first baseman. [pause] The guy playing first base!
Comedy gold!

...after he chews off Kung Lao's head and spits out a hairball.

I already have Microprose's 'Phantom of the Opera'. Was a pretty good sierra style adventure game back in the day.
I run it on my Pentium 90 which I've outiftted with 96 MB of ram, a STB Velocity 2d board, a Diamond Monster II, External midi modules Roland MT32 and SC55-MKII.
Its a pimp retro system.

"Return of the Phantom"

I've always wanted some musical songs in Karaoke games. I'm kind of glad that this is happening.
I'll be even more happy if there are some Dr. Horrible, Carmen, or Les Misérables songs in a musical karaoke game. (even if none of those are Webber)

Any episode of Scooby Doo > Phantom of the Opera

Yea, there's definitely a lack of songs from musicals in Karaoke Revolution and Lips, or any of those types of games. You'd think a major career that involves singing would have a singing game marketed towards them.

I HOPE IT HAS WICKED AND RENT PEEEEEEEEE
Lemmiwinks @ Jan 13th 2009 8:10PM
i dunno... that sounds messy
Luthyr @ Jan 13th 2009 7:12PM
Why not make a video game that is a musical or is based on a musical?
Lemmiwinks @ Jan 13th 2009 8:17PM
I'm trying to wrap my head around a control system for Starlight Express: The Game.

Finally, a game targeted specifically for the burgeoning theatre-major-casual-gamer demographic. I can't wait for the port for DS and PSP; and you thought car rides filled with family members harmonizing showtunes couldn't be more painful.
