Is Let’s Sing 2022 worth it? – Hands-on impressions

Let’s Sing 2022 is a new music game coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch on October 23rd. It has been in development for two years with the main focus being making this an all-inclusive party experience that everyone can enjoy.
I have tested out the game at multiple intervals of time and here are my thoughts about Let’s Sing 2022!

Let’s Sing 2022 is a game that has been in development for quite some time. It was originally released on the Xbox One, but it will be coming to the PS4 later this year. The game is also coming to PC and mobile devices later this year.

Singstar is no longer available, and the Let’s Sing series has taken its position on the karaoke game pedestal, for better or worse. To give you the TLDR on Much’s Sing 2022, it’s for the worse since it lacks things that we’d expect from a mobile karaoke app, let alone a console game. Are the additional modes and song list, on the other hand, worth the money? Continue reading.

Let’s Sing 2022 includes 30 songs from various musical periods and genres. Wham’s “Last Christmas,” Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black,” and Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” are among the songs included. The game also includes modern songs like Billie Ellish’s “Everything I Wanted” and Bruno Mars’ “Leave the Door Open.” It’s a collection of tunes that don’t really fit together. With so much contrast, it’s doubtful that you’ll recognize all of the songs and be able to sing just a few.

It lacks well-known artists that are connected with the karaoke scene, such as Queen, ABBA, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and The Spice Girls, making it less likely to be a success with the whole family around the holidays. Some of the songs, including Joel Corry X MNEK’s “Head & Heart” and Calvin Harris’ “Giant,” seem like they belong in a Just Dance game rather than a Let’s Sing game. Worse, tracks like Smash Mouth’s “All Star,” Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles,” and Wham’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” have been locked behind separate DLC song packs from day one.

Keep in mind that to acquire the entire song selection, you’ll need to download free additional material from the PlayStation Store. Some people may be frustrated by the fact that not everything is on the CD. We had trouble getting this to function on the PS5 version since the DLC wasn’t recognized. In this case, the PS4 version of the game should be used instead.

With the poor music selection in mind. Let’s Sing 2022 makes karaoke a lot easier to get into. Everyone has a phone, and this game’s specialized software allows you to utilize your phone as a controller. Additionally, you may utilize an old USB microphone from Rock Band, a streaming setup, or a podcast. We tried using a headset with the headphone port, but it couldn’t pick up voices well enough. It’s possible to have up to eight individuals singing at once.

Once you’ve hooked in a device, the game performs an excellent job of picking up your voice. If you opt to purchase Let’s Sing 2022, we suggest putting your TV to game mode to obtain the greatest reaction speed.

There are a couple extra settings available in addition to the traditional mode. You must earn the most points across five different song excerpts in Mixtape. The first player to reach 20 points wins. The premise is entertaining, but the terrible songlist raises its head again, since you may not be familiar with all of the songs. To alleviate your aggravation, you might have made your own mixtape. Legend requires you to face difficulties from a variety of gaming characters. It will show you fragments of the songs and challenge you to complete objectives such as earning five gold stars in the one-minute clip. It wasn’t very interesting since you aren’t adequately rewarded for your achievement. Furthermore, you may not be familiar with the songs that the game requires you to finish.

Another shortcoming of Let’s Sing 2022 is its inability to be played online. You may share your performances with other gamers via SingStar (may it rest in peace) and even mobile applications like StarMaker. Just Dance also allows you to record a clip of your dances to share online. Let’s Sing 2022 does not include such a function. Instead, you may participate in the World Contest, which pits you against internet opponents. However, it is not live, and you cannot hear the other person; it is only a recording of the game data and the score they received. It’s a major letdown. It would be considerably more fun if Let’s Sing 2023 made the experience more competitive and engaging.

Let’s Sing 2022 is not worth the money you’ll be paying right now. It’s the only console singing experience available, but even if Ravenscourt maintains its monopoly, the song selection and internet functions, such as sharing your performances and making singing competitive, should be improved. “It’s a no from me,” says Simon Cowell.
