Why? Because it’s the best that we have if we want to squawk along to new songs, and it’s also currently the only option on new-gen consoles.įor all intents and purposes, Let’s Sing 2022 is SingStar.
OK, rant over, but it is relevant to Let’s Sing and, in turn, Let’s Sing 2022.
It soon got shut down completely, the end of an era, and those with a healthy PS3 collection must now treat their old consoles like gold, because if they crash, their hundreds of dollars’ worth of DLC will be gone forever. That was peak SingStar, as a feeble version later hit PS4, removing access to many paid DLC songs that people had paid good money for, offering no backwards compatibility (even though the console’s drive could have read those discs…) and rejigging almost everything in the game, seemingly with an unfathomable plan to take away all the things that people loved about the experience in the first place. Then came the PS3 iteration, an improvement on the formula in every way, with backwards compatibility – you could pop your old PS2 discs in and bolster your collection of available songs significantly, or stick other PS3 SingStar titles in and play those songs without rebooting the game – and the arrival of hundreds of songs via DLC just added to the experience further. When it hit on the PS2 it was a revelation, with affordably-priced collections of songs pumped out regularly on discs, often with cool thematic compiling, and all you needed was their blue/red mic combo to pretend that you were the latest singing sensation.
A few years later, Let’s Sing has certainly made its presence felt.įace it, you simply can’t speak about karaoke video games without talking about PlayStation’s SingStar. When SingStar was left to die a cruel, agonising death, it took a while for somebody to step into the resultant karaoke-shaped void with any purpose.
