SingStar: Take That (2009) Review

Gameplay
The gameplay in SingStar: Take That is identical to that of other SingStar games. Players sing into a microphone and the game gives points based on the performance. The only basis of assessment is if the correct note is hit with the correct timing; the sung words or octave does not play into the result.
The game can be played by up to four players, either competitively or cooperatively. There are a variety of different game modes to choose from, including:
- Classic: Players take turns singing songs. The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
- Duet: Two players sing a song together. The players’ scores are combined, and the team with the highest score wins.
- Pass the Mic: Players pass the microphone around and sing a song together. The player with the highest score at the end of the song wins.
- Party: Players can create their own playlists and sing along to their favorite songs.
Features

- SingStore: The SingStore is an online shop where players can download additional songs. The SingStore includes a wide variety of songs from all genres, including pop, rock, country, and hip-hop.
