SingStar, Sony's innovative vocals-based take on the Guitar Hero phenomenon, or karaoke through your PlayStation if you prefer, has announced an ABBA edition which will be released for the Christmas market, giving consumers the chance to play the "who can sing ABBA better than Pierce Bronsan" game. Answer. Everyone.
Confirming the ABBA version of the game, which is sure to be a hit given the continued popularity of the Swedish fab four, especially since the 'Mamma Mia' film hit the cinemas, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss David Reeves told reporters: "We are thrilled to be collaborating with ABBA to bring their tracks to SingStar this Christmas. The popularity of this iconic band continues year after year, and we know SingStar fans will be delighted to add this selection of classic tracks to their collection".
Speaking for Universal, who own the ABBA catalogue, Universal International top man Lucian Grainge added: "ABBA have joined that elite club of musicians and artists whose popularity only grows with time, as new generations enjoy some of the most memorable music ever made. 'SingStar ABBA' will have the world singing along again".
