Advantages: Great tracklist

Disadvantages: Still some fillers.

Singstar Summer Party is an attempt to appeal to those who are bored in the summer and likes some hit summer tracks to sing along to. Fans of the singstar series will undoubtably get this anyway, but for new stars, it aims to appeal and make singing fun!

The concept is simple, just like karaoke, but with a twist, it scores you on pitch and rhythm, making it slightly more competitive!

It has great colourful menus, and easy to navigate. You can sing solo, with a friend, or with family with its multiplayer game modes. It allows you to easily register your profiles, and even keeps a high score so you can keep trying to enter that hall of fame!

This latest edition boasts 30 tracks as follows:
* Adele - Chasing Pavements
* Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
* Blondie - The Tide is High
* Blur - Girls & Boys
* Booty Luv - Shine
* Chesney Hawkes - The One & Only
* David Bowie - Let's Dance
* Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out
* Dirty Pretty Things - Bang Bang You're Dead
* Dodgy - Good Enough
* Elton John - I'm Still Standing
* Five Star - System Addict
* Girls Aloud - Call The Shots
* Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
* Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet
* KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
* Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)
* Madness - House of Fun
* Mel & Kim - Respectable
* Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)
* Peter Andre - Mysterious Girl
* Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah
* Pulp - Disco 2000
* Razorlight - In The Morning
* Rihanna - Umbrella
* Sugababes - Red Dress
* Texas - Summer Son
* Toto - Hold The Line
* Wham! - Club Tropicana
* Yazz - The Only Way Is Up

There are both modern hits (Rihanna, Adele, Sugababes, Razorlight) and some classics (Diana Ross, Madness, Elton John, Chesney Hawkes) and this perhaps will appeal to both the young and the old generations.

This is one one of the better releases as it contains a range of hits, from a range in time, and has some actual HITS, such as Umbrella by Rihanna who topped the charts and defined the Summer or 2007.

However, there are some filler tracks, but these are minimal and one can always just skip through these, the main bulk of this tracklist is genuine and fantastic!

Also, there are no new gameplay options, just new songs, which may be slightly disappointing but if its already great, why change it?

I would recommend this to anyone who likes party games and this is one for all the family and friends. You can get this under £15 in store and online, and I'm sure this will have a song to suit everyone!

Summary: One of the better editions
