Disney Sing It: Pop Hits Bundle

Disney Sing It: Pop Hits Bundle This is a totally wonderful concept... but just falls short of the 5-star mark. First, I want to say that I LOVE that the background of the game has the actual videos for the songs... not some goofy cartoon characters "mouthing" the words, etc. However, as many reviewers have already pointed out, these are not the most "popular" songs produced by these artists, which makes it harder to sing along with them. The songs are NOT easy to sing, especially if you don't know the words/tunes beforehand. Also, we already own Boogie Superstar, which we LOVE... so thought this would be fun too, as in this game you can sing with two microphones as a duet/helping each other. However, the microphone that comes with THIS bundle is not very good... doesn't work as well as the Boogie Superstar microphone at all. Half the time, this Disney mic doesn't pick up your singing, so you end up "missing" the notes, meanwhile my daughter who is using the Superstar mic is getting great scores on the same song. Lastly, although the Superstar mic has a long cord on it that plugs into the Wii... the packaging on this Disney bundle led me to believe that the microphone here would be cordless... NOT SO! It also has a super long cord, which is just more tangle to deal with. :(

So between the sub-standard (and misleading picture above) microphone, and the more obscure song list included with this game, I can only rate it 3 stars instead of the 5 star potential it should have had. Again, I DO like the duet option and the music video backgrounds, but wish the interface with the people playing the game was a bit better thought-out/quality.

This is pretty much kareoke in a game form. It took a bit to understand that you have to get the pitch right and not exactly the words (which move pretty quickly for a young child to read). You can actually get more points by just squeeling rather than singing the song at times which is weird, but kids really enjoy being involved with the artists and pretending that they're rock stars.

Definately reccomend for the childhood singer in your family!

This is really cute. I love watching my girls, 7 and 5, sing along to the songs!! Our 2-year old even loves to grab the mic and "sing" along! ;)

I have never seen my 11 year old granddaughter as excited as she was when she opened this gift.
The gift arrived at my home well packaged and in a very timely manner.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter and all three of my kids love it, The 8 year old has a little hard time with it, reading fast enough to keep up, but the other two can do okay.
The microphone works really well and has a nice long cord
As for the music choices I am a little dissapointed we only knew a couple of the songs, I feel it was Disney's way of getting a little money out of those songs no one liked from popular artists.
It has encouraged us to buy some of the rockband games now just for the karaoke part of it.
