Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaNov 28, 2014Have this – plus a HDD full of DLC tracks– and your next shindig is going to make the papers. [Christmas 2014, p75]
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 28, 2014Lacks 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]
-
Dec 13, 2014SingStar 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.
-
Nov 12, 2014The game is great, the Singstar Mic app isn’t.
-
Dec 5, 2014Singstar Ultimate Party is so enjoyable... when the Mic App works.
-
Nov 14, 2014SingStar 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.
-
Nov 5, 2014Still 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.
-
CD-ActionFeb 7, 2015It’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]
-
Nov 14, 2014This 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.
-
Nov 4, 2014Fun 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.
-
Nov 19, 2014Singstar Ultimate Party completely fails to move with the times, with an overall karaoke package that is inferior to the 2004 blueprint.
-
Nov 13, 2014SingStar 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.
-
Nov 3, 2014Singstar 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.
-
Nov 3, 2014This 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.
-
Nov 1, 2014What 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.
-
Nov 21, 2014So, 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.
-
Nov 7, 2014A 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.
-
Nov 20, 2014Singstar 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.
-
Nov 13, 2014It'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.
