We Sing Encore (known as We Sing Vol. 2 in Germany) is the 2010 music video game sequel to the original We Sing for the Wii. Developed by French studio Le Cortex, produced by Wired Productions, and published by Nordic Games Publishing, it is the latest singing game in the series to support 4 players simultaneously each with their own microphone.

We Sing Encore is distributed as a software only version, a two microphone and game bonus pack.[1]

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]

Similarly to We Sing, We Sing Encore has a variety of tracks across multiple genres and decades.
