 Singing has never been so much fun... |
| Review Date: June 4, 2008 |
| Reviewer: A. C. Ege/Acedoh, Stockton, CA USA |
I have to admit I have been a skeptic of the Singstar franchise. With game after game on the PS2 it didn't really anything I was ever interested in. Now with it's new life on the PS3 it is a whole other game. Singstar is without a doubt the best party game available right now on the PS3. It is also a prime example of how much fun community gaming can be.
From the minute you pop the disc in it's simple to navigate the menu. You esentially have three options. Play Singstar, view gallery, and online. I am going to cover each option so that you can understand how much fun this game is.
Playing Singstar gives you a choice of thirty songs to croon over. The thirty songs are a mix of pop, r&b, and rock. Sorry country fans, your not going to find any of your favorite songs on this disc. Although you only get 30 songs to chooose from there are well over 200 available on the Singstore. More on that later. Now with Singstar you can just have a solo performance or if you have your friends around there are plenty more options. You can actually have contests with up to eight people. The possibilities are really endless. With multiplayer you can either perform a duet or battle others. There are specific songs for duet although every song will let you perform a duet. With a battle you can take on others to try and get the highest score. With the performances they are scored on a scale of 0 to 10,000. There are also difficulty levels if you want more of a challenge. The object is rather simple: Sing at the same tone as the artists. As you sing you really have to make sure you can keep the same level as the musician. On easy it's rather simple to get a good score. Upping the difficulty level makes it that much more difficult. What makes the performances memorable is that you can record your vocals. Now if your voice is or isn't very good you can adjust microphone level. What makes Singstar magic is having a USB camera that is compatible with the PS3 or a PS Eye. The camera will record a 25 second video of you belting out your greatest. You can even take the artists voice out of the songs. Of course I wouldn't advise anyone to do this unless they have a good voice. Now the audio clips, videos, and even snapshots the camera will take go into your gallery.
Now the gallery is what stores your best or worst performances. From here you can let other people see your performance at home. The gallery will store numerous videos, audio clips, and pics. What makes the gallery truly a gallery is that you can upload any of these things online to the Singstar interface.
Online is what takes this game to the next level. The Singstore is what the PSN should be. Immediately you get to choose from over 200 more songs that are available in the store. Each song sells for $1.49 and comes with the video. Not a bad price for some good fun. The Singstore will update with songs every other week. SONY is promising 25 to 50 songs a month. The artists cover a wide array of music genres dating back to the 1960's to songs that have just been released. I have already found myself downloading numerous songs I enjoy. The new music will keep this game fresh for quite a few months if not years.
The most amazing feature is the Singstar Online feature. From the main menu you can set up your profile listing your favorite song and musician. You can also have a picture taken from your USB camera. From your profile you can also view messages people leave you and check your uploaded videos to see if people are giving you good scores. You can also access other players. Set up like Youtube you can watch players from all around the world perform their best. The interface allows you to watch videos that have just been uploaded. You can also check out featured performances for the week. These are the higher scoring songs. And lastly they have a hall of fame featuring the highest rated most viewed performances. You can score any performance from 1 to 5 stars and even leave comments to the performer. If you really like someones performance there is an easy way to access your friends list and mailbox and request a person to be on your friends list. I have seen some stellar performances and I have also seen your very creative performance. This is a definite incentive to try and make something interesting for everyone to see. All in all this is what I enjoy most about the game.
If I were to sum up Singstar I would say it's an experience everyone should try. It's fun, a lot of fun. It's a great break from other gaming experiences and it's a good way to invite people over to do some karoke. I think that most who enjoy to sing in the shower or car should purchase this game. Those who have enjoyed it on the PS2 should enjoy it even more on the PS3. Have fun and try to become a Singstar... |
Great game!

This is a great game and lots of fun when you get friends and drinks involved.
The game is pretty basic. You sing along to songs and get a score for it. I like the fact that you can hear the vocals of the artist in the background since the point of the game is to listen to the tone and try to match it. Karaoke would be really bad if people didn't sing along to the songs.
The sing store feature is also great! You get to download songs with their music videos and they update the store every 2 weeks. The songs are 1.49 each which is quite worth it consider how much you pay for itunes and drinks at a bar. |
SingStar (PS3)

The finest Karaoke video game on the market. Simple.
30 songs on disc and at time of writing close to 250 on the 'singstore' online. Music for everyone, fun to play, even better with friends/family.
Online options allow you to post your own videos, watch others, buy/preview songs. Lots of fun. |
Undeniable fun!

| Singstar plus a little vodka equals a whole night of fun for two or more people. I'm not a singer and neither are most of my friends, and everyone balks when they hear a suggestion for karaoke. However, I've never had anyone not want to come back for more Singstar after playing it. I'm a SingStore junkie, too. I have over one hundred tracks that I have purchased. You can't go wrong here if you want a party game that everyone can enjoy. |
The best karaoke for PS3

| I have both karoake revolution (which i bought first) and singstar volumes 1 & 2. As far as I'm concerned, there is no comparison between the two. Firstly, I was able to get both singstars and two microphones for the same price as the karaoke revolution. Secondly, singstar's actual gameplay itself is so far superior to KR that it's not even worth having both of them even if you really like karoake. Singstar has songs from the actual artists and has the music videos from the songs playing in the background (which for me was a huge added plus). K.R. has cover bands doing the song and the background while you sing is an avatar dancing around on a stage (a la Guitar Hero). The song selection is great and the store has about 900 additional songs which you can purchase. If you like karoake, you will be very happy with this purchase and I highly suggest buying both vol 1 & 2 (which can currently be had for a total of $55 here on amazon. |
