If you have ever played PlayStation's SingStar franchise then you will know exactly what to expect as the two games' presentations are virtually identical.

Then there is Expert mode where there are no lyrics or tonal markers; at this point you must truly sing the song by heart. There is Duet mode where you can plug in multiple microphones and take turns singing different parts of the song. You won't be finding noughties or nineties hits in here, though – most of the songs were released in 2013 or later, save for James Blunt's You're Beautiful, which came out a grand 11 years ago. The main problem, though, is that the game cannot recognise high notes regardless of your microphone. Set up your name and you can enter Sing and Dance on this new sub-menu, which is exactly the same set up as the individual tracks, except you have to work your way through groupings of songs, unlocking new groups as you complete levels.Be warned though, ‘Elimination’ is super tough with my maximum sing through in this mode only ever managing to last 30 seconds or so. The gameplay is just as you would expect: music videos play on the screen, while the lyrics appear and light up as you're supposed to sing them. The only way that you'll be able to get a high score and unlock all of the achievements is if you can sing comfortably in mid-range, and not many can do this.

At the end of each song you are shown your total points along with any achievements you collected such as hitting all the gold bars in the song. A long running series of compilation albums that rounded up all the latest releases onto one handy disc, almost everyone had at least a few at some point - even if they did hold slightly less appeal when we moved on to obscure piano playing women and angsty grunge. If this is the easiest mode, God help me, as it took me many attempts to get the necessary three stars on Pack Up to progress, no matter how much I tried to impersonate Eliza Doolittle, mainly failing on switching between vocals and the tricky scat at the end. However, don’t expect your gran to be excited about playing this game or even your parents as, unlike other offerings that at least do a friendly nod in the direction of older tracks of established classics, this is firmly set in 2010 and 2011 with the only track on the collection not from those years being… nope, none of them. Lyrics come up on the screen in front of the official music video – all thirty tracks on this game come with said promo clip – with each word also expressed as a bar reflecting the length of the note and the pitch.Whether you're in the mood for Jess Glynne or Lorde, this title has you covered – and that's what makes it Charli XCXellent. A narrow selection of songs that is restricted to just a couple of music types makes this game a choice for like-minded friends rather than a large gathering of different people. Song-wise there is a good selection to sing along to with a mixture of female and male vocals, with several rap tracks for those who, like me, enjoy a bit of rapping in lieu of actual singing. Still, if you just want to listen to the music but aren't interested in the singing, then that's fine, too – Jukebox mode plays all songs on the disc in an endless loop.

You have the titles that have become instant karaoke classics, such as Demi Lovato's "Let It Go" or Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk", but then you also have some rather bizarre choices. The chances of this game being of much use at a large gathering are slim as the track listing just isn't diverse enough to entertain everybody. They mention that it is great fun for all the family, hilarious to play, and a great game for anyone who enjoys singing or Singstar.

There are plenty of game modes to try and a presentation that is friendly for karaoke novices, especially when there is no fail option to discourage people before they've even begun. After all, there's nothing to cover up the tuneless moments or the fact that I sang the wrong words. It wasn’t long since the only extra thing you’d get on top of the thrice-yearly releases of CD compilations from the company would be the occasional annual release of the best songs of that year, but recently we’ve been treated to DVDs, releases focused on Hip-Hop or Christmas or some other genre, Spotify-exclusive playlists, or one of many other off-shoots. The thing that drove me away from Sing Star (For PS4) and the Jack Box Games were the stupid inclusion of.
