Gameplay

The game's core features include singing lessons, solo, party and, Karaoke modes. The gameplay is similar to the SingStar set of video games, as players are required to sing along with music to score points, matching pitch and rhythm. The players can choose to play at an easy, medium, or hard difficulty, with both short or full-length song options. After the player finishes singing, they can replay their performance; and get statistics about their performance.

Due to hardware limitations, with the Wii only having two USB ports, a USB hub is required to add more USB ports. The game uses the standard Logitech USB microphone for the Wii.
