The X-Factor

About

The X-Factor lets you take the stage as an aspiring singer aiming for the top. Use a microphone to perform songs across three rounds of competition starting with auditions moving through training and ending in live shows. Your vocal input affects how well you do with the game responding to your pitch and timing. The focus is on progressing through the ranks and showing off your skills in front of judges and audiences. This game features vocal recognition for performances and a library of popular tracks. It released in 2010 for PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 and Wii. Community ratings average around 6.5 out of 10 with some praise for the varied setlist but criticism about simplified mechanics. The single-player career path and stage performances offer a straightforward music game experience without deeper customization or multiplayer options.
