Your vocal input is measured with a glowing trail that moves up and down with your pitch. The familiar sideways scrolling lyrics, staggered horizontally for time and vertically for pitch, will keep you well prompted. They’re all very similar, in truth, but I can imagine more spirited players finding some joy in the different modes for post-pub sessions. The standard Sing Mode is for just vocal players to sing alone, together or as part of a duet and there’s a Team Mode that lets you set teams and battle it out like some kind of low budget take on a Simon Cowell production.

They also include plenty of modern pop like LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem and Carly Rae Jepsen’s much parodied descent into gut-wrenching insanity that is Call Me Maybe. Hopefully that will make the wait for DLC tracks easier to bear because those are still not available in the US and they haven’t got a firm date here, other than “early 2013.” The included track list isn’t bad – it features plenty that you’d expect and probably want from this kind of game – but it is a little thin on the ground.Īs you might expect, the songs on the disc include seemingly timeless karaoke classics like The Beach Boys’ Surfin’ USA and The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and The News. This was a launch title in North America but it’s taken an extra couple of months to make the trip to Europe. So, I plugged in the bundled USB microphone, slipped in the disc and loaded up Nintendo’s take on the karaoke game. But it’s important to open our minds a little bit and try to experience new things. If I was forced to compile a comprehensive list of games that I have no interest in playing, you wouldn’t need to scroll down very far to find something like Sing Party.
