Glenn Frey Online

What this does mean is that the karaoke experience is reasonably good. If there is any lack of familiarity with the track, the presence of a vocal immediately helps you on your way. Like previous Just Sing! iterations and the genre as a whole, your task is to simply sing along with the music, aiming to hit the right pitch at the right time. Picking a song and aiming for a good score is all that is on offer; there are no other modes or mini-games. Scores are added to a local leaderboard, with no online feature to add a competitive edge. You can also choose and customise an avatar to dance on stage during a performance, but that doesn’t add much to the gameplay or replay value.

The software does a decent job in picking up your voice accurately. We tried to trick the game by whistling and blowing into the microphone, but came out with significantly lower scores. Thankfully, especially for the tone-deaf team at Nintendo Life, you are generously excused for singing slightly out of key. However, the game does reward good timing and an effort to match the pitch of the notes. Picking up high scores is relatively easy, so the replay value in this game depends on how much you like the songs on offer.

Visually, this title is mediocre. When performing a song the action takes place on a large stage with your avatar providing some dance moves for the crowd. There’s a nice and somewhat charming touch with screens in the wings occasionally using the DSi camera to show your face as you sing.
