"Going back to a time when karaoke games were loved by all (even if the only time you played it was some point during a party among friends), and it was Singstar that lead the way of the genre, Now That’s What I Call Sing looks to revitalise the love once had for the dwindling karaoke music genre. Does this game have the X Factor? Or does it hit a dud note?"
Now That’s What I Call Sing is a good attempt to bring back the karaoke genre. It’s well built and provides a good deal of laughs when played with friends, but its lack of content and innovation, added to its limited set-list and questionable design choices prevent it from reaching greatness. You’ll find a lot of enjoyment out of it if you’re part of the target demographic or if you’re playing in short bursts, but it won’t dominate the living room when compared to other, more heavy-hitting party games that are simply more fun to play.

Gemma writes "I’m pretty sure that many music fans in the UK will have owned at least one of the NOW That’s What I Call Music volumes over the last few decades. Singing into your hairbrush along to the latest pop hits was a teenage ritual for many. Now, this iconic brand has released its own version of a karaoke singing game. So put down the hairbrush, pick up a microphone and let’s get singing."
I love karaoke but I'm not sure about this one =P
I've never been a Karaoke fan but I can see this being a hit with my other half on girls night. Better not mention it then.. :p nice review
I will always have a soft spot for these types of games! Great review, and it seems a shame that there isn't much content. Maybe there will be in future.
Wow, not sure how you could make a singing game with a non-obvious pitch meter. Seems a bit stupid really.
