SYDNEY- 04 May, 2010: Mindscape, a leading global publisher and distributor of entertainment software and Universal Music On Line today announced new features for their upcoming karaoke game, U-Sing Girls Night.
U-Sing Girls Night, is the sequel to U-Sing U’ve Got Talent, which was the best selling karaoke game on Wii for Christmas 2009. Mindscape has built upon this success by adding new features and improvements to U-Sing Girls Night, some of which are a first for console karaoke games!
New, exclusive features include:
- DLC: U-Sing Girls Night will be the first karaoke game on Wii with Down-Loadable Content. Players with an Internet connected Wii will be able to access the U-Sing online store via the game. Songs can be purchased using Nintendo points.
- Juke Box Mode: Owners of the original U-Sing loved the Jukebox Mode which transforms the Wii console into a jukebox. U-Sing Girls Night adds an additional feature to the Jukebox Mode by giving players the choice to display lyrics or not, without being scored, giving the game a real karaoke feel.
- Golden Notes: During a song, golden notes regularly appear on the music score. Filling a golden note triggers a sequence that adds bonus points to the player’s score. A counter on the right of the screen keeps the player’s score.
Other enhancements to the original game include:
- Grading System: The new grading system rates players according to their performance.
The grades are as follows (in descending order):
– Legend
– Star
– Professional
– Pretty Good
– Not bad
– Beginner
– Atrocious
If a player beats the previous record, the new score can be recording using the virtual keyboard.
- Player Activation: Before starting a song, each player must hum into the microphone to activate game position. This also helps determine the blue and green players during a multiplayer game.
- Choosing a Song: The U-Sing Girls Night song menu initially displays the artist’s album cover. This gradually becomes a preview of the song and video clip.
U-Sing Girls Night is the first karaoke title to exclusively feature only female artists. The game features 30 official songs and videos of the world’s leading female artists including Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse, Blondie, Katy Perry and Rihanna.
