SingStar Take That is a competitive karaoke video game for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. It is the third band-specific SingStar game released in the UK and Australia, following up on SingStar ABBA and SingStar Queen.[1] It was released in 2009.[2]
Gameplay
SingStar includes a variety of game modes. The standard singing mode allows one or two people to sing simultaneously, either competitively or in a duet.
The PlayStation 3 version of the game supports trophies.
Launch
SingStar Take That was launched at the SingStar Take That Extravaganza charity party on Wednesday 25 November 2009 at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill, London. The event was hosted by comedian James Corden and featured a number of celebrity guests including Kate Moss, Kate Nash, Pixie Geldof, Rachel Stevens, Remi Nicole, Paloma Faith and the band Take That themselves.[3] The event came later than originally scheduled and after the game launched in the shops due to the unfortunate death of Gary Barlow's father.[4] The band entertained guests by performing their song "Rule the World", which is also in the game.
