SiNG Party
© 2012 Nintendo of America
SiNG Party is a musical performance game based around popular songs. In “Party” mode, the lead singer uses the Wii U GamePad controller to view lyrics and receive cues, freeing them from the TV and allowing them to interact with the audience. It's like any great quality karaoke game and you can see the five bars which indicate pitches of singing. While there aren't that many songs available, the game plays well and there are several modes for both single or group play. You can also make playlists & share your score. Audience participation, such as singing, dancing, interacting with the lead singer and playing instrumental sounds with other Wii Remote controllers. In “Sing” mode, up to two singers’ vocal and overall performance quality are evaluated on the TV in real time. The GamePad can be used as an audio mixer and to create a playlist. The song list includes selections from the ‘60s to current pop hits. CTR tester Corey called this "a great karaoke game and found that the included microphone responded perfectly to the singing" but "I wanted more downloadable content." All in all, this is an excellent music app, with good music in it & this game was very well done!
