Disney Sing It - Family Hits (Wii)


I recently bought this game because I love almost every Disney song, and I thought it would be pretty cool to be able to sing it either alone, with my family or with my friends. I truly believed that it would give me countless hours of fun and horror to my neighbours, since I'm not the best singer in the world.

I was quite excited to receive the game at home and, when it finally arrived, I went straight to my Wii to start exploring and playing.

I am quite happy with the interface. It is simple and clean, but also fun and Disney style. You can choose from different designs that you win while playing the game and achieving certain bonuses. 
One great feature is the vocal tips that you can get from Anika Noni Rose, who gave the voice to Princess Tiana. So, if you're feeling insecure about your vocal abilities, you can boost your confidence by learning a little bit from Tiana herself. How cool, right?
You can also sing solo, duet or encore. If you're having a party you and your friends can sing together and have a blast!
It is easy to follow the lyrics and I don't find the game that hard. There are three difficulty levels: easy, medium and hard. For the little ones the easy and medium modes are probably better, but if you're a young adult or above, you will find the easy mode too easy. I really can't sing, but I prefer to choose between the medium or hard modes, otherwise I have the feeling that the game is doing everything for me.
What left me truly disappointed was the song selection. I mean, you only get 20 songs, not such a wide selection, and some of them aren't just what you expected. Here is the complete list of the featured songs so that you can decide for yourself:


Film  Song 
101 Dalmatians  Cruella De Ville 
Aladdin  A Whole New World 
Beauty and the Beast  Be Our Guest 
Cars  Our Town 
Cinderella  A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes 
Cinderella  Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo 
Cinderella  So This is Love 
Jungle Book  The Bare Necessities 
Jungle Book  I Wan'na Be Like You 
Lady and The Tramp  He's A Tramp 
Lion King  Can You Feel the Love Tonight 
Lion King  Hakuna Matata 
Lion King  I Just Can't Wait to be King 
Monsters, Inc  If I Didn't Have You 
Mary Poppins  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 
Peter Pan  You Can Fly 
Princess and The Frog  Almost There 
Princess and The Frog  Dig a Little Deeper 
Ratatouille  Le Festin 
Toy Story  You've Got a Friend in Me 

Overall I think the game is good and great fun. I expected more from the tracklist but I truly believe that more games will be released and they didn't want to "give away" all of the most beloved songs.
If you are a true disney fan, you will probably enjoy this game. If you want to keep your kids entertained, this will do it for sure! However, be aware that for young adults or above, after some time you may feel like you've been singing the same song forever.
