After a short hiatus, Sony's stellar karaoke series is back, offering more multiplayer karaoke fun, and an all new budget price. As part of Sony's 'broader audience' PlayLink range, SingStar Celebration lets you use a dedicated mobile app to turn any Android/iOS device into a makeshift microphone, letting up to eight people join in on the fun together, without the need for endless USB mics. With thirty songs on offer, its not the biggest song list we've ever seen in a karaoke game, but there's a nice variety to the tracks on offer nonetheless, mixing together some well-known oldies with more recent chart hits - so everyone should be able to find something they don't mind crooning along to.
Oops SingStar did it again - several of the songs have appeared on previous games or as downloads already!
The relatively modest 30 song-strong song list is as follows - and no, the two songs called 'Closer' aren't a typo:
- Adele - Hello
- ABBA - Dancing Queen
- Amy Winehouse - Rehab
- Avicii - Wake Me Up
- Blondie - One Way Or Another
- Brandi Carlile - The Story

- The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer
- U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- Wham! - I'm Your Man
- Young Rising Sons - High
- Zara Larsson - Lush Life
That's what Michael Jackson said.
Of course, you don't have to just stop at the 30 on-disc songs, as the Playstation Store has hundreds and hundreds of extra tracks you can download to expand your library (at extra cost), and keep you singing long into the night. Depending on compatibility, any songs you downloaded for past SingStar games on the Playstation 3 should be able to be carried over to your new game too, letting you revisit some old favourites too!
Part of a music game revival, Singstar Celebration is just one of a wide range of recent releases of music and dancing games. Here's the soundtracks and song lists for a bevvy of recent music games, so you can compare and contrast:
