MY THOUGHTS

Now I love music and I love karaoke so it was no surprise I loved Sing 4 for the Wii.  My two daughters also love music and singing so I knew they would both love this game as well.  

Now I will warn that it shows the actual videos as well.  So you may want to screen them before you let your kids sing along with certain videos.  I had to do this with my daughters.  Other than this factor the game is wonderful.  I mean it even comes with its own microphone.

Now my youngest did have a problem with the microphone picking up but it ended up being her holding it to close to her mouth.  After adjusting this, she was belting out Miley Cyrus in no time.  

I also love the fact that you can just play the music too.  Wonderful for me when I do not want to sing.  I imagine this being a great party game and am considering it for my daughters' future birthday parties.  I also love the fact that you can add tunes to it.  I have not checked them out yet but plan on it.

This game is great for karaoke fans or maybe that person who is too shy to start at a karaoke night but loves to sing.  The game is available where Wii games are sold and online at Amazon.com for $ 37.96.  So grab this game for your next party.
