Priced at $39.95 AUD, SingStar: Ultimate Party is a compilation of thirty popular songs including Happy by Pharrell Williams, Royals from Lorde and Let it Go performed by Demi Lovato. While it was initially unclear if Sony Computer Entertainment had planned to give SingStar another chance to shine or would simply let it fade from memory as they are currently doing with PlayStation Home, not only have they released a revamped free app for the PlayStation 3/4 but also offered their first retail song pack in three years. Even if some compilations have been received better than others, they have helped drive the franchise into its second decade. Since then a variety of genre-inspired track compilations were released for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 – ranging from Pop and the ’90s to packs dedicated exclusively to bands such as Abba and The Wiggles. From my own comical rendition of P!nk’s “Get The Party Started” to being able to do an almost pitch-perfect rendition of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” ( Which I can no longer do), every song felt like one you would sing at karaoke.

While there was very little in it outside of a rudimentary career mode and 30 songs to freely sing along to… I ended up putting dozens of hours and a couple of sore throats into that single game.

Back when I was primarily a casual gamer, it was the original 2004 release of SingStar which ultimately convinced me to put money towards a PlayStation 2, with it being the second game I ever bought for the console ( The first being Eyetoy Play).
