SingStar Take That

SingStar Take That is a competitive karaoke video game for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. It is the third band-specific "SingStar" game released in the UK and Australia, following up on "SingStar ABBA" and "SingStar Queen". It was released in 2009.
Gameplay.
"SingStar" games require players to sing along with music in order to score points. Players interface with their console via "SingStar" USB microphones while a music video plays in the background. The pitch players are required to sing is displayed as horizontal grey bars, which function similar to a musical stave, with corresponding lyrics displayed at the bottom of the screen. The game analyses a player's pitch and compares it to the original track, with players scoring points based on how accurate their singing is. Different modes of "SingStar" may vary this basic pattern, but the principle is similar throughout.
"SingStar" includes a variety of game modes. The standard singing mode allows one or two people to sing simultaneously, either competitively or in a duet.
The PlayStation 3 version of the game supports trophies.
Launch.
"SingStar Take That" was launched at the SingStar Take That Extravaganza charity party on Wednesday 25 November 2009 at the Tabanacle in Notting Hill. The event was hosted by comedian James Corden and featured a number of celebrity guests including Kate Moss, Pixie Geldof, Rachel Stevens, Remi Nicole, Paloma Faith and the band Take That themselves. The event came later than originally scheduled and after the game launched in the shops due to the unfortunate death of Gary Barlow's father. The band entertained guests by performing their song "Rule The World" on the game.
Reception.
The PlayStation 3 version received "favorable" reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.
