Changes/Updates

I think the grading is a bit more lenient on most of the new songs. I was able to get a Silver record on my first try on a couple of the medium difficulty songs. On the flip side, one of the easy songs had a challenging range to keep up with. Lastly, there is a new difficulty mode: Extreme.

Installation/Integration?

Installation was a breeze; it detected my Heavenly Harmony install and put the songs right in. The expansion pack songs have a CC in the name to distinguish them from the default songs.

Graphics

As far as I can tell, the graphics have not changed. A new backdrop of carolers would have been cool - maybe next time. Sound

This game is all about music and the mp3 files sound good. I like the variety of music styles and the ratio of men and women vocalists. I have no idea who sings the songs since the original artists are not mentioned.

Stability

I did not experience any technical glitches whatsoever.

Appropriateness

This game is all about singing Christmas music, so I can’t fault it for anything here.

Final Thoughts

Cloud 9 Games has released a great expansion pack to an already entertaining karaoke game. I highly recommend it to everyone who owns Heavenly Harmony. I look forward to future expansion packs.
