We couldn’t be more excited!Īs we mentioned in previous posts one of the key new features with this version of SingStar is the SingStar Mic app which turns your compatible smart device into a microphone. If you are new to SingStar, we also have selected demo tracks available for free download on the SingStore, so you can check out the fun before you buy. This new, redesigned digital version of SingStar lets consumers customize their in-game song choices with the purchase of individual songs for $1.49 or song packs containing 5 songs for $6.99 (purchase of in-game content is required for gameplay). The online community is also nowhere near as thriving as it was when it first launched, showing that while there may be some who still love to play this karaoke powerhouse, its popularity is wearing thin after so many versions receiving such an inconsistent amount of updates.The newly revamped version of SingStar is out now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, and it’s free on PlayStation Store.

The other three PlayLink titles that have launched so far each allow up to 6 players simultaneously, so it would have been cool to see Celebration at least allow up to four players at once instead of just two (with the aforementioned Pass the Mic sort of creating the illusion of more people playing at the same time. On the other hand, as someone who has invested literally hundreds of dollars into SingStar over the last 13 years, it’s a shame that no effort has been made to improve of redefine anything about the game. If you like at least 13 of these songs included (possible), it’s a good value proposition to pick up SingStar Celebration and boost your song collection quickly for your next get-together. This is good value when you consider that each song costs $2.05 on the SingStore, but then that’s relying on you liking a range of stuff from Kings of Leon to Zara Larsson, and even U2 ( nobody actually likes U2). Firstly, you’re paying $24.95 RRP for 30 songs. So there are a couple of things to think about here. U2 I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.Calvin Harris & Disciples How Deep Is Your Love.So, what are the songs included in this pack? SingStar has refined its voice tracking tech since its first iteration and the gameplay is as solid as it ever was, including a range of party modes where you have to pass the mic between friends or sing a medley of multiple tracks. You use your smartphones as microphones and compete against a mate to sing in tune with the track as best as possible.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with this, but your mileage may vary depending on the track list.
