Vocal Judging - Select from Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert judging. At the lower judging levels, the game widens the range of pitch and rhythm that is accepted. It will recognize that you are singing the proper notes even if your pitch or timing is a little off. The phrase meter will be shorter and will fill up quickly, making it easier to get a high rating for the phrase. If you select a higher judging level, you will need to sing much more closely to the original track, and the phrase meter will take longer to fill up.
•
Dance Difficulty - In Sing and Dance mode, select the Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert difficulty level. At higher dance difficulty levels, the judging remains the same, but you will be required to perform faster and more intricate dance patterns.
