The innocence of the single player, getting texts from your imaginary pop-star friends who could just egg you at every corner to go and perform at venues, was so charming and well thought out that the retro Singstar games felt like great value for money. It was solely the fact that the PS2 finally had an original party game that didn’t involve me dancing like a spasticated elf on a temperamental plastic mat that encouraged me to enjoy Singstar. There wasn’t a minute of any day in the summer that I wasn’t with my sister, singing my heart out to songs I barely knew or cared about. When I was far younger I purchased the very first Singstar (along with every expansion pack I could lay my hands on – oh god) for the Playstation 2. I’m going to begin the review by delivering a brief history lesson regarding me and the groundbreaking hit that is Singstar. If that means anything to you at all then there’s no doubt about it you are THE Motown master! The main draw for any expansion Singstar title is without a doubt the track listing, and boy have the developers hit the nail on the head with Motown! I know it sounds silly on paper, “let’s make our target audience (the younger generation) sing all the classic Marvin Gaye hits!” but you’ll be happy to know readers that it couldn’t have worked any better! There’s a perfect balance of well known songs such as, ‘Let’s get it on’, ‘ABC’, ‘Sugar Pie, honey bunch’ and ‘Do you love me (like that?)’ to counter the less popular, but still equally as enjoyable ‘Reach out I’ll be there’, ‘It takes two’, ‘You can’t hurry love’. Well if that’s true – that means that my guy is a superfreak and not e asy to teach his ABC’s. I heard it through the grapevine that it takes two to put a little love in your heart.
