Review: Sing Star Take That

Posted by Gary in Console, Featured, Reviews, Sony | 9 comments

Well well well, my old nemesis Mr. Sing Star is back. Well I haven’t gotten any better at singing so this review will be just as painful for the lot of ya.

People sometimes forget that Take That have been around since 1989! Well the game really brings their entire career to life. Starting with songs that I honestly never heard before (Promises is one of them) and going up to their newest hits (which I love BTW).  I wont go into huge detail with the Sing Star game type as it has been done to death so here it goes.

Lets take a look at the song list:

* “A Million Love Songs”
* “Babe”
* “Back For Good”
* “Beautiful World”
* “Could It Be Magic”
* “Do What U Like”
* “Everything Changes”
* “Greatest Day”
* “Hold Up A Light
* “I’d Wait for Life”
* “It Only Takes a Minute”
* “Love Ain’t Here Anymore”
* “Never Forget”
* “Once You’ve Tasted Love”
* “Patience”
* “Pray”
* “Promises”
* “Reach Out”
* “Relight My Fire”
* “Rule the World”
* “Said It All”
* “Shine”
* “Sure”
* “Up All Night”
* “Why Can’t I Wake Up With You”

Some of them you will know and some of them will be from the GIANT blond hair and dungarees days of Take That we never know existed. Some of the videos they play while you sing are truly terrifying! Like this!

So I had my eye on a song and I gave it a go. I mean you really can’t help but start feeling yourself and doing pelvic thrusts when singing “Relight my Fire”.  I was having a great time altogether but I don’t think the neighbors/pets/family/cars/aliens/anyone did! Well what can ya do that’s pretty much the basis of Sing Star.

So as far as Karaoke games go this fits nicely into the genre. Take That have always had and always will have catchy songs. Its great fun singing the classics like “A Million Love Songs” but is seriously nice singing the new songs. I mean I sing “Greatest Day” without even having a scoring system in front of me!

Ok this review is a tad difficult for me. I can tell you how fun it was singing and all but you have no idea. You need to either experience it yourself or (God forbid) let me sing it to you! So here it is, if I get enough requests via comments, Twitter, Facebook or emails I will……….sing. That’s right I will upload a Youtube video for your enjoyment (a.k.a my embarrassment)! I look forward to hearing your requests!
