Review: Singstar Motown

Not another one: 'Fraid so.

Sony
PlayStation 3
Hayden Meikle

This makes it 83 SingStar titles.

Or maybe slightly fewer.

Motown?: From the words "motor" and "town" - Detroit.

Label formed by Berry Gordy in 1959.

First major label to be run by black people for (primarily) black artists.

Responsible for introducing the world to a whole new sound.

Pluses: Like all SingStar games, it's good for a laugh.

Minuses: Those of us under 60 are starting to feel a liiiiiittle distant from Motown's heyday.

Best tracks: Marvin Gaye, What's Going On; The Supremes, Stop In The Name Of Love; The Four Tops, Reach Out I'll Be There.

Honour the king: By singing ABC by the Jackson Five.

Recommended for: Anyone with some soul, brother.
