While I was hard on the song selection in Disney Sing It: Family Hits, I'm more forgiving with the track list for Disney Sing It: Party Hits. Whereas Sing It: Family Hits attempted to cast a wide net to appeal to everyone, Sing It: Party Hits is more of a barrel shoot. It knows its audience and, well, they'll dig every second of it.

Sing It: Party Hits takes direct aim at the tween market, translating to a heavy dose of The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, (both their solo efforts and the entire Camp Rock 2 catalogue) as well as Selena Gomez and, yes, Justin Bieber. The setlist is a bit on the short side (around 30 songs total), but every song will appeal to fans. There's also a selection of songs meant to grab non-tween players, such as Paramore, Owl City, One Republic and Jason Mraz. The selection isn't to my tastes, but I have to admit they are fun to sing.

Each song is accompanied by a music video, which dominates the playfield. The rest of the visuals are composed of a pitch meter, lyrics and the occasional fireworks indicating an achievement of some sort. It's simple and not much to look at, though anything else would be overkill.

Disney Sing It: Party Hits is broken into Single and Party (multiplayer) Modes. Single Player consists primarily of singing along, while Multiplayer adds a few extras meant for playing with people.

Unless you're the sort of player attempting to hide that you know all the words to "One Less Lonely Girl," Disney Sing It: Party Hits is meant for multiplayer. Up to eight friends can take part in Duets or Pass the Mic play types, though most of the fun comes in with the competitive modes. Sing Off pits two teams against each other in what is essentially a competitive version of Pass the Mic. Team Play is another team variant, only with team members singing different songs.

My favorite of the bunch is Performance. The pitch bar and lyrics are hidden, but you're still scored on how well you sing. It's a silly sort of mode that is incredibly fun as long as your friends are comfortable enough to make fools of themselves and rock Bieber and Jonas Brothers without a safety net.

All modes are linked into an in-game achievement system. Some are as simple as finishing all songs by a particular artist, though others are a challenge to pull off. It's a great motivator and, if anything else, offers some sort of reason to keep playing once you've run through the short playlist. Completing certain challenges opens up rewards, mainly custom themes for the main menu.

Every song is different, so there's no way to make a blanket statement on difficulty. Each has three difficulty levels, mainly determining how picky the pitch meter is while you sing. I'm by no means a great singer, but was able to blast through most of the track list on Hard with little problem once I learned the lyrics to a song. I'll admit to humming my way through a few parts, but I should get some credit for matching pitch, right?

I really like the Vocal Coach and found it helped me out. At the very least, it gave me some courage to actually go through certain songs. The entire mode is led by Demi Lovato. It could have been hosted by a random sound tech for all I care, but it is a neat option for the game's core audience. Who wouldn't want to say they had personal singing lessons from Demi Lovato?

Vocal Coach is broken into several categories, each focusing on some component of singing. One goes through basic pitch, while another goes through riffing. As much as I like the mode, I wish it would go into something more than simple notes. Singing "la la la" on pitch is a little different than singing words and it was really hard to follow the melody.

Disney Sing It: Party Hits follows the same basic layout as previous games in the series. As the song plays in the background, lyrics appear on screen along with a glowing ball telling you when to sing certain words. Additionally, there's a pitch meter set along a multi-level track indicating whether to go high or low with each word. It is a fairly simple premise to follow, and even if you don't get it the first time, it won't take long to figure out what you're doing.

One unique option allows you to play songs in either Normal or Karaoke Mode. When flipped to Karaoke, the actual singer's voice is lowered, allowing your voice to carry through the speakers. It's a small option, but one that separates the "real" singers from those singing backup.

Even if you can't sing, the scoring system is overly generous. You aren't guaranteed 5-stars every time, but even if you screw up and miss a line or two, you can easily win back points. Once the song is finished, you can replay it in Encore. This is another fun option that adds replay value and lets you alter your voice through various filters.

Sing It: Party Hits comes with one microphone as a pack-in. Another mic is required for multiplayer and not every mic lying around the house will work. I attempted to play with two other microphones and the only one the game would detect were Logitech ones. Similar to Family Hits, the pack-in mic is a little too "hot" and picks up every noise, though it never interfered with gameplay.

For what it aims to be, Disney Sing It: Party Hits is a good game. It's nothing that will appeal to a wide audience, but it isn't really trying too either.
