Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to the SingStar set of video games. Players are required to sing along with music in order to score points, matching pitch and rhythm. The game has anticheat technology whereby tapping or humming will register on the screen but no points will be awarded. We Sing Encore also contains the addition of 'Star Notes' that allow the player to score even more points by matching the pitch and rhythm of certain hard to score parts of songs.[2]

  • 40 full licensed songs with music videos where available
  • Solo Mode
  • Multiplayer modes - Group Battle, We Sing, Versus, Pass the Mic, First to 5000. The ability to sing with up to 4 players as a group is a confirmed * feature. Additional multiplayer modes for We Sing Encore were set to be announced in the coming weeks.

  • Jukebox mode
