Time to dig out that garish 'I LUV MARK' placard from 1994: Sony has announced that a standalone Take That SingStar will be arriving on PS2 and PS3 at the end of this year.
The title will feature a collection of tracks from both 'new' (M&S suits; beardy; toned Barlow) and 'classic' (camp; baby-oiled; rotund Barlow) eras, including Shine, Back For Good, Never Forget and Could It Be Magic.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has revealed the ‘Sing for your Summer’ promotional tour for SingStar on PlayStation 3. As part of the promotion, visitors to HMV stores will get the opportunity to win tickets to one of the UK’s popular summer festivals, and attendees of those festivals will get the opportunity to get their party started with the help of SingStar.
PushSquare: "SingStar's a bit like the gift that keeps giving. For years Sony's karaoke platform has evolved - delivering iteration upon iteration to its core, yet somewhat niche, fanbase. And Sony's showing no sign of stopping that support with the addition of Vibrato. The new feature will allow you to pull your best Leona Lewis and actually score points for fluctuating held notes, rather than being penalised - something which occurs in Rock Band and Guitar Hero should you stray from the predetermined note line."

It was earlier today that Sony revealed that karaoke classic SingStar was due to receive an Online Battle mode, due to be introduced in an update available in June.
However those that love to sing to their hearts content can gain access to the new mode prior to this, by applying to participate in the Beta.
