Plug in your microphones, sing together with your friends or have a solo session to train your Karaoke skills. The main problem, though, is that the game cannot recognise high notes regardless of your microphone. This complete edition comes with all the features you need including multiplayer and online playability. The majority of the songs in the game are sung by female singers but if you struggle to reach the high notes, you can sing an octave lower and as long as you are in tune you will be rewarded with points as well as a congratulatory OK, good or perfect (or an oops if you are way off).

Since 2005 Voxler has focused on delivering the best possible singing game experience, based on a great singing game technology with optimized speech recognition and precise real time feedback on the singer’s voice.

Having said that the tone deaf would struggle, the game is a little forgiving when it comes to exact tuning. Our promise to you - you can’t lose – join today and if you receive less points back from purchases than the fee you have paid for your membership for 12 months, we will give you the difference back in points. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, GAME acts as a broker and offers finance from PayPal Credit. The game suggests changing your TV to Game mode to combat any lag but this made things worse, and there is no calibration option either.

The only way that this can be countered is to sing the notes an octave lower than they were intended, but you do wonder how this managed to make it through QA testing.If you are feeling even more competitive, in the ‘Elimination’ mode each player starts with a full bar of energy which depletes with every bum note. Occasionally one of the notes will turn gold and players are challenged to hit these for a point bonus. If you really enjoy SingStar or Just Dance then the experiences here are very similar, more so to Just Dance as this is much stripped down compared to the PlayStation karaoke classic and not as friendly. Discover the various exciting game modes that are quick and easy accessible via the new and user-friendly interface which gives you direct access to the playlist.

If this is the easiest mode, God help me, as it took me many attempts to get the necessary three stars on Pack Up to progress, no matter how much I tried to impersonate Eliza Doolittle, mainly failing on switching between vocals and the tricky scat at the end. However, if you are more co-ordinated than me then you’ll enjoy the selection of dances, which fit nicely into the songs and range in difficulty.

After all, there's nothing to cover up the tuneless moments or the fact that I sang the wrong words. Turn up the volume, grab a mic and get the party started with a variety of unique game modes, “Classic”, “Duet”, “By Heart” and “Pass The Mic”. Other multiplayer modes include ‘20,000’ where you play against your friends with the first to 20,000 points winning the bragging rights.

If you do play this element of the game in solo mode prepare to try and foster a split personality as the swapping between vocalists can be a challenge, for instance from the female to male vocals on Eliza Doolittle’s ‘Pack Up’ or singing to rapping on Tinie Tempah track ‘Written In The Stars’. As you progress through the song, the lyrics appear on screen along with white bars which vary in height and length, corresponding to the pitch of the note you need to hit and how long you have to sustain it for. The other person they’ve employed must be a mad scientist, because their latest brand extension is into the world of video games, and one that is a splicing together of two popular franchises: the karaoke game and the dancing game. NTWICS is also a great game to play with friends – you can plug in up to four USB microphones – thanks to the Elimination, Pass the Mic, and 20,000 modes: Elimination gives each participant a quota of energy, which declines if you hit a bum note; Pass the Mic is exactly what you think it is, and; 20,000 mode tasks you with being the first to hit 20,000 points. Their lack of wireless ability is the least of your problems however, as they just don’t work particularly well.

Well, that all depends on your age, likes, number of friends you have and desire to make a fool of yourself! Solo is, naturally, the home for those who like to sing on their own for fear of embarrassment (or to practice their skills of course! Ethics The reviewer spent six hours belting her heart out / strangling a cat to earn 29 of the game's 37 achievements. Players who keep up with the latest musical trends will be pleased with the selection of titles in this game as there is a heavy pop / dance influenced soundtrack that was mostly released after 2013.
