I absolutely love to sing but know that I am really not a good singer, there's no chance of me finding myself in the over 30's category on the X Factor any time soon. However, one way I can release my inner Diva and sing my heart out is by playing Singstar on our Play Station 2. This is a fantastic game that has been around for quite a few years now and comes in many different forms. Knowing my love for Take That my husband bought this game for me the other year to be able to belt out all their greatest hits!! I'm not sue he knew what he was letting himself in for as now I make him play it with me and he hates it and TT!

We bought an original singstar game quite a few years ago now and if I remember rightly that came with a wireless microphone as this is pretty much essential to the game but if you buy just this game it does not come with any microphones. Obviously if you have them already that is not a big problem and you can buy them separately now for about £10 which is quite a good price in my opinion. The microphones are wireless which I really like as it means there are no funny wires getting in your way and you can jump around and dance without worrying that you are going to pull the wire out of the socket. I do find though that you really have to sing into the microphone so it will pick up your voice so I have to hold mine quite close to my mouth, none of this moving it around like the pop stars do but it is quite responsive and I find that when you sing the notes it corresponds up on the screen pretty instantaneously which is good if you are in competition with someone else. The microphone is quite authentic feeling and looking so you actually feel like a proper singer with this in your hand.

Basically the main aim of the game is to hit all your notes and words at the right time and better than your competitor. You will see the words on the screen and also a continuous moving coloured bar that shows you if you are hitting the right note as well. The microphones are made with technology that recognises your pitch, tone and rhythm so it does encourage to actually sing properly which I like. You can play against somebody but you can also play against the computer too so if you've got no one to play with you can always belt out a few tunes yourself.

I would say that this Take That version is a must for any TT fan, I absolutely love it as it contains all their classics and I love singing them. The track listing is as follows:
