Like him or not, Robbie Williams is a figure head when it comes to Brit Pop. Having had huge success with boy band Take That, and then on to a hugely successful solo career, before rejoining Take That again! Presumably slowly calling an end to his career, it's a fitting tribute to the man to have his very own singing game. Nordic Games has proven they can deliver fun singing with their We Sing series, and they have proven it again by putting together a fitting package for Robbie.

Like the previous games in the series, We Sing Robbie Williams gives you the ability to go solo or hook up with a group of friends (up to 4) to create your own choir of Robbie tracks. As usual the words pop up on the bottom of the screen, highlighting when it's your time to howl the word. To give further encouragement the actual music video plays in the background. The idea is to sing like a star and rack up enough points to be declared as good as Robbie himself.

In addition to the standard mode, We Sing Robbie Williams comes with several others which all revolve around the same thing: Screeching, screaming, howling, and in some cases, actual singing. You can even go as far as taking singing lessons, which involves plenty of humming until you find the right pitch. It's not exactly going to make you the sixth member of Take That, but it does act as a good warm up session before the real singing begins. Other features include Party, Karaoke and Jukebox modes, in-game awards and eight different multiplayer modes.

There's 26 Robbie songs to choose from, from the old classics like Angels and Let Me Entertain You, all the way to his latest offerings from his album Reality Killed the Video Star, and the track Shame from the latest greatest hits album, In and Out of Consciousness. It's a great package that covers the slow songs, the upbeat and the swing. Any Robbie fan will be satisfied with what's on offer. In addition to this, the game also includes footage from Robbie Williams' 2003 Knebworth concert and a photo gallery.

If singing games are your thing, and you love the work of Robbie Williams then it's easy to recommend We Sing Robbie Williams as it delivers karaoke as we know it and like it at home. With the option of singing along solo or with three of your friends, plus the singing lesson option and various game modes, it's well worth picking up and singing along to Robbie's classics.
