We Sing: UK Hits Song List Announced

The We Sing series certainly seems to be doing rather well, having not just one – but three – differently-themed karaoke games out in the near future, in the form of We Sing: UK Hits, We Sing: Rock and We Sing: Pop. Even if karaoke's not really your sort of thing, the We series is expanding, hoping to steal the dancing title from Just Dance with their upcoming - and rather awesome looking – We Dance.

Karaoke games themselves are the sort of thing that needs little explanation – you simply plug in a microphone, pick your song and get ready to belt it out, following the lyrics and pitch bars scrolling across the screen. But what sets the We Sing games apart from the crowd is their multitude of multiplayer modes, both co-operative and competitive – for up to four players. There's standard versus modes, where players (or teams) compete for the best score, there's co-operative modes where you're working together for the best score, as well as a few more interesting modes. For example, you and your friends could be taking it in (randomly chosen) turns to sing in Pass The Mic, or you might want to try your hand at Blind mode, where the music and lyrics will disappear at random points, leaving you singing all on your lonesome. With a whopping eight different multiplayer modes to keep you entertained, we thought rather highly of their previous offering We Sing: Robbie Williams – hopefully having three games in the pipeline won't mean they skimp on quality...

With the first of the trio, We Sing: UK Hits, forming a nice orderly queue into stores on the 30th September, the guys and guy-ettes over at Nordic Games have decided now is as good time as any to reveal the full forty tracks you'll be belting out in the next few weeks - and there's a veritable mix of classics amongst them:

As you can see, there's an awful lot of familiar tracks packed in there, including internet sensation Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up', cheesy 90s pop in the form of The Spice Girls' 'Who Do You Think You Are', as well as 'A Little Time' by the Beautiful South, a band featured on far too few music games. We Sing: UK Hits bursts into stores on the 30th September, and – as always – is available as either a two microphone and game bundle for about £49.99, or as just the game on it's own for £29.99.
