SingStar: ABBA

About

SingStar ABBA lets you belt out classic hits from the Swedish pop group. Using a compatible mic you earn points by matching the pitch of each note as you sing along. The game doesn’t track lyrics so focus stays on vocal accuracy rather than word for word perfection. Available on PlayStation 2 and 3 it supports solo play or team up with friends in split screen modes for some friendly competition. The lack of lyric recognition sets this apart from traditional karaoke, you can improvise or mess up the words without penalty as long as your pitch stays on target. Released in 2008 it’s part of the long running SingStar series known for its party friendly approach. While the track list leans heavily into ABBA’s biggest 70s hits the simple scoring system makes it accessible for casual singers and vocal pros alike.
