SINGSTAR THE WIGGLES

Sony
PS3 (also on PS2)

Great idea! The Wiggles is for toddlers, so we invited a bunch over to get their Wiggle on for an informed revie-AMELIA! DUNKING THE MICROPHONE IN ‘CORJIGAL’ WON’T MAKE IT SOUND ‘FUNNERER’! We didn’t think it through…

Little kids are amazing in their ability to destroy stuff-JAKE! THE PS3 ISN’T A TOASTER! Could SingStar The Wiggles distract them long enough to leave Gamesblip HQ in some semblance of non-wreckededness?

More or less, yes. There’s nothing particularly different about this to other SingStar titles, except it’s bulging with Wiggles songs. But only 25, and at an average length perfect not to lose a tyke’s concentration, that’s hardly mega-content.

But don’t the kids love it! Busy Hot Potato-ing and Big Red Car-ing their little lungs out whilst we had a chance to save our stuff. Somebody needs to start a business toddler-proofing places - if you end up doing it and gross dollar one, remember us when we’re slumming it under a bridge, yeah?

Look at the (measly 10) trophies and this is billed as SingStar Junior, implying difference to regular SingStar. It doesn’t seem more lenient, as even when we tried our guts out on ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ we couldn’t SingStar it, yet we can ace Ultravox’s ‘Vienna’. When you consider that few toddlers can actually sing, they just bellow words in jazz time, it makes for some sooky-sulks come score time.

Meanwhile, you can’t swap in other SingStar discs, but you can pop The Wiggles into regular SingStar seshes, which may prove handy.

It’s amazing what two former Cockroaches, two other blokes and some brightly-coloured skivvies have accomplished. They saved our joint from ruination, and the joy on those kids’ faces jumping around like loony-lites was precious.

Fuck we’re soft.
