For ten years the SingStar series has offered a slick, enjoyable and hilarious social gaming experience. The bad news is the complaints are justified. It's like Sony is hiding in the kitchen at its own party, tweeting about how this is the best birthday EVER, in between swigging neat Malibu and crying.
There are hundreds of these comments yet barely any replies. For instance, the top comment on "Everyone's got what it takes!" is: "I'd be happy if my PS3 SingStar would work at all, but it now crashes on startup and takes my console with it." Similarly, "Unleash your inner SingStar diva!" is met with responses ranging from "Yeah. Unfortunately for Sony, the intended effect is diminished by the reams of complaints beneath each post. It's full of pictures of white people being happy against white backgrounds, accompanied by life-affirming slogans - "Unleash your inner SingStar diva!" "Everyone's got what it takes!" "SingStar is now downloadable in Canada!" The theme continues throughout the rest of the page. The only person not having a great time is the guy in the middle, who has in fact opened his mouth to insert the gun they've had to crop out of the shot. Meanwhile, the beardy hipster is so happy he is only partially distracted by the artisanal baba ghanoush stall he's just spotted behind the photographer. That even goes for the woman on the left, who knows she was only invited to comply with European regulations regarding the inclusion of ethnic minorities in lifestyle photography. They are having such a great time they find it impossible to open their eyes or close their mouths. This is what visiting the SingStar Ultimate Party Facebook page is like. And if there's one thing that makes a terrible party worse, it's a host who insists they're having A REALLY GREAT TIME ACTUALLY, and that everyone else is going to have a great time TOO, whether they LIKE IT OR NOT.
