we have given this game our daughter for her 11th birthday. Unfortunately, the first attempt did not work at the microphone. The exchange at Amazon.com was very straightforward and fast - a thank for it. Unfortunately, the second microphone was not perfect, this time it was a loose connection. So also no. 2 went back. On the third try, we have got the game in the store and now it works flawlessly. - Of course not due on delivery - we had probably just bad luck. The game itself is great fun and has for girls between the ages of our daughter just the right song selection. The star trigger, there was for the trouble in advance.
