Singstar: Wiggles

Anyone who has/knows a child between 1-4 probably knows an unhealthy amount of Wiggles lyrics. Why not put that completely useless knowledge to work and get on Singstar: Wiggles.

Seriously how did this get off the idea block @ Sony? Are they hoping everyone will just get it as a joke? I've read a few reviews and I reckon I could have written them without even turning the game on:

Pro's: Short, simple songs
Cons: Even 4 year olds cant read that fast, all songs are earworms and short (yes its a con too!)

Not that I have had that much personal experience with the Wiggles but I get the idea that its a set and forget kinda thing. Something that gives you 30mins to do whatever you want not something that requires constant attention swapping songs, stopping the kids from belting each other with mics etc etc.

Here's a quote I've just found that sums it up perfectly (from CNET.com)

"...If you're not familiar with a given track and you happen to be three years old, in our experience you'll struggle more than a little, and the patience of small people is often only measured in picoseconds. This doesn't make SingStar The Wiggles is a bad game per se. It's just that if you were picking it up as just another Wiggles product that you could stick the kids in front of and go off and do something else, think again. The menus are simple enough, but to avoid frustration at not following the words correctly, you'll need an adult on hand. Hopefully, an adult that doesn't mind having Wiggles songs (short though they may be) stuck in their heads for days on end.

As you might be able to tell, just testing SingStar The Wiggles was enough to get Hot Potato pretty much permanently wedged into our cerebral cortexes. We're hoping there's some kind of cure..."

I'd say these will find the bargain bin bloody quickly! Current RRP $49 but get your $10 ready in a months time.

P.S. Kylie if this finds its way into our house it will definitely find the bin!
