    Have this – plus a HDD full of DLC tracks– and your next shindig is going to make the papers. [Christmas 2014, p75]

    Lacks harmony in track and mode selection, but is still the best party game going once you get to the singing/drinking/ritual embarrassment. [Christmas 2014, p.95]

    SingStar Ultimate Party is a party that's only half successful: you can still have fun (even lots of, in certain conditions), yet with different choices the outcome could have been far more memorable.

    The game is great, the Singstar Mic app isn’t.
  5. Singstar Ultimate Party is so enjoyable... when the Mic App works.

    SingStar Ultimate Party is a step backward from the game it used to be. With the missing multiplayer-modes and no option to import old discs it looks like a kind of downgrade. If you don’t mind that, it’s exactly the game for you.

    Still the best competitive Karaoke franchise on the market, this latest version fails to impress with a lack of game modes, mobile app connection issues and the inability to download all the tunes you want on PS4, or transfer some of them from older versions of the game.

    It’s obvious that this game was created just to suck cash out of our pockets with as little effort as possible. 01/2015, p.63]

    This franchise used to be a hit, now it’s a depressing miss. Singing through your Phone destroys the karaoke feeling, the soundtrack’s disappointing and the downloading of old songs is way too complicated or impossible. Skip this.

    Fun for belting out a few tunes at a party, Singstar Ultimate Party simply doesn't offer the variety to give it any form of longevity. Add to that some serious mic pickup issues, and the game quickly loses any party charm.

    Singstar Ultimate Party completely fails to move with the times, with an overall karaoke package that is inferior to the 2004 blueprint.

    SingStar is yet to be dethroned as gaming's number one karaoke franchise, but its latest installment is a lazy update that skimps on features and playlist variety.

    Singstar Ultimate Party is a fail, and the main part of it is because of the very bad quality of the smartphone app and the lack of true multiplayer mode which would involve more than two singers.

    This is not the ultimate karaoke experience that was promised. Changes applied to a great formula will definitely annoy those who love the franchise. Singing in your phone looks cool, when it works, but in terms of content and game modes, it's just a regression. Sad.

    What the…? The original fascination we had with the franchise as a well rounded karaoke party game is gone. From all that was good almost nothing remains. I want my old SingStar back.

    So, to sum up what SingStar: Ultimate Party is I can safely say what it is not. It is not the ultimate party. If it were, life would be very dull indeed.

    A huge step back for the series, ditching all of the elements that made it a party staple and offering little in the way of variety, or support for any previous SingStar games.

    Singstar Ultimate Party is a true dichotomy and ultimately gives the player a half-baked karaoke game on the PlayStation 4 that is saved by its cost.

    It's a shame that such a much-loved series has come to this, but here we are. So to conclude, SingStar Ultimate Party gets one point for nice menu screens and one point for Carly Rae Jepsen.

Sadly, the entire SingStar franchise shut down at the end of 2019. If you can pick up some singstar mics and copies of the game for a bargain price, it is worth it. It needs special SingStar microphones. Full Review »
