  1. Remember kids - dinking alcohol is not big, nor is it clever, but in conjunction with SingStar Pop it will probably be a great deal of fun.

    Providing you have a taste for the Top 20, or are a pre-adolescent girl, Pop Hits delivers another welcome helping of tacky karaoke goodness. [Apr 2007, p.86]

    Big hits from Lily Allen, Britney Spears, and more. [May 2007, p.85]
  4. Well designed, accessible and hilarious, never has a game caused so many neighbourly complaints or united so many gamers and non-gamers on one noisy level playing field.

    Pop Hits remains a solid addition to the series with a lot of great songs that you’ll know, and enjoy singing, but watch out for the style of singing you may require during some of the songs.
  6. Until then SingStar:Pop is a solid game that's easy to get into and a lot of fun to play, even if you aren't a big fan of karaoke.
  7. But as a cool little party game you pop in from time to time, you can’t beat the features, the fun, and the price.

    It's still the post-pub game of choice. [May 2007, p.78]

    The problem with this version is that its target audience is so narrow. [May 2007, p.121]
  10. Pop Hits, by comparison, feels like a loosely thrown together collection of what the charts say is cool, with little regard for what will make for a fun karaoke party.

    Roll on next-gen Singstar, I say. Once we have the power to request, download and pick our own songs then we'll be in charge and maybe then we'll all get the game we desire and deserve. Power to the people!

    Singstar Pop Hits is an okay title that suffers from an unlocalised soundtrack and a poor selection of songs. The game's still a lot of fun, but previous titles in the series are easier to recommend.
  13. A flung together collection of sub “Now That’s What I Call Music!” tracks doesn’t really make for an enticing prospect.

    Let me say the first sing star to have a decent tracklist. It's so much fun and I'm glad they addedd Dannii Minogue's " I Let me say the first sing star to have a decent tracklist.

    Was great for the kids. Lots of songs that they actually knew.
