"As you'd expect, any existing SingStar niggles still exist here (oh for the ability to rip songs to the hard drive to avoid disk swapping) but that's missing the point to a degree. There's simply no denying the pure sing-along-ability of Abba, no matter what the age group or musical tastes of your party it's almost guaranteed that most people will know the words to a big chunk of the track listing and be happy to pick up a microphone even before the effects of the festive drinks have kicked in. If you're a SingStar fan then this is probably the most essential add on disk to be released for years. It's a little sneaky that you can't buy the game complete with microphones but the chances are most people interested will already own a pair; otherwise this is as close to a sure thing as you can get with SingStar. The winner does indeed take it all..."

It was earlier today that Sony revealed that karaoke classic SingStar was due to receive an Online Battle mode, due to be introduced in an update available in June.
However those that love to sing to their hearts content can gain access to the new mode prior to this, by applying to participate in the Beta.
