Performous

Performous is a game that combines the best of games like Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution with the best of classic karaoke. All this comes in a single package that's also free and open source. The only thing you need to start playing is a microphone, like your Macbook microphone or a pair of headphones.

To sing karaoke, all you need is a microphone, but you can also connect other peripherals, such as guitars or dance mats, and use them to interpret your favorite songs. Performous is fully compatible with songs prepared for UltraStar (singing), Frets on Fire (instruments and singing), and StepMania (dancing).

On the official Performous website, you can find various song packs ready to be unzipped and played. If you visit the official Frets on Fire or UltraStar websites, you can find extra songs there to download directly to the game's directory. This means that, for all intents and purposes, you have a practically unlimited supply of songs for practicing.

It's important to keep in mind that Performous is much more than just a karaoke app: it's a music-based video game just like Sing Stars. As such, your objective is to get a high score, which is calculated based on how well you interpret the song. Of course, this score depends on your voice, your guitar skills, or your dance steps, depending on the song you selected.

Performous is one of the best music and rhythm games that you can play on Mac. If you have some of the usual peripherals for this type of game, such as dance mats, microphones, and plastic guitars, this game is bound to become the best part of any party.
