Product Review: We Sing: UK Hits


I was recently sent a copy of We Sing UK Hits to try out. For those who don't know me, this is TOTALLY up my street. I am a closet singing fan. I say closet, because I am what you would call...rubbish at singing.  I shall not pretend otherwise and it doesn't take away my enjoyment of games like this at all one little bit, which is unfortunate for my family and friends really.

Nordic Games has a range of "We Sing" games for the Wii including We Sing, We Sing Robbie Williams, We Sing Encore (which I desperately want!) and We Sing Rock (which on the back of me having this one, my friend has just bought for herself!). You can buy the games with or without the microphone, handy if you already have one as you can pay less for just the game which is really good value. 



We Sing UK Hits is a great game for all the family or as I found out, a great game to play with a group of girly friends as there is a party mode which includes We Sing, Versus, Group Battle, Pass the Mic, First to X, Marathon, Blind and Expert. There's a Jukebox mode where you can cue up your favourite tracks and a karaoke mode if you want the artists singing removed. One of the things I like about this game is that you are singing along with the actual artist and original video, not a copycat version.


There are player statistics, customisable interfaces and - oh the horror - you can even replay your singing back, although why on earth you would want to do that is beyond me. One word of advice, forget that this even exists. I know you think you sound like Beyonce but trust me, you probably don't. The features go on and on making this a superb value for money game. You can even choose which singer you want to be if there's more artists than one, a feature that I really like.



The tracks featured are varied, you can click here to see the list of what's featured in the game. There are 40 of them ranging from Elton to Tinchy, Adele to Bucks Fizz so basically there is something for everyone. The songs are rated as to how difficult they are and points are scored if you hit the right notes, with extra points being awarded for hitting notes that are extra-tricky. There were a couple of songs that I didn't really know but it didn't take me long to get to grips with them. My personal favourites are "Making Your Mind Up", "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Never Gonna Give You Up".  


In summary, it's a great fun game that anyone can join in with but is best enjoyed in a party atmosphere. It's good value and has a great retail price, coming in at under £20 from most major retailers.  For maximum enjoyment - leave your inhibitions at the door!
