Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk Review:Looking for one of the best multi-player party games on the PlayStation 2? You've just found it, and it's called
SingStar. It's a game that tests you on your singing ability--or lack of--and serves up some rollicking entertainment while it does so.
It comes bundled with two surprisingly good-quality microphones, and the idea is that, in true karaoke style, songs with predominantly official backing videos appear on your screen and you have to sing the right words at the right time. Also, you'll find on-screen indicators as to what pitch you need to be singing at, and it's here that the game assesses you. Hit the right notes for the right amount of time, and you'll get high scores, which in career mode can then unlock virtual clubs to sing at and more songs, too.
The single-player mode is fairly simple and straightforward, but in multi-player mode
SingStar strikes gold. The game comes laden with numerous little games, which can involve you passing the mic around, or joining up for a good old-fashioned duet. Then there's the outstanding battle mode, where two of you warble through the same song concurrently, and the game picks a winner at the end. Replete with the option to replay your performance and even use an EyeToy to be the star of the music video,
SingStar is fantastic entertainment.
A couple of minor gripes: the aforementioned single-player mode is short-term fun at best, and could be improved; the 30 included songs--from bands as diverse as Atomic Kitten and Motörhead--are mostly well chosen and varied, but you'll work your way through them a little too quickly. (Add-on packs may well redress this.)
Ultimately,
SingStar is innovative, very easy to get to grips with and when on top form, flat-out brilliant. For those looking for a multi-player game in particular, it comes very highly recommended. --

My 9 year old daughter thinks this is the best game ever. I don't know how she knows - she can't get it away from her 16 and 17 year old brothers, not to mention just about everyone else who comes to visit. This really is enormous fun: the adults can compete with the kids, the kids get to sing along with their favourite tunes, and the grown-ups get to be pop stars too!!!
If you ever (I mean EVER) sing in the bath, shower, car or elsewhere, then you will love this!!

This is one of the best karaoke games I have ever played. I own 3 singstar games, and this one has my favourite selection of tracks.
Plus, the fact that singstar games show the original and official videoclips for the tracks and no gimmicks makes the game MUCH more interesting.
My friends love it too, we make small karaoke parties where everyone sings his fave songs, it's so much fun! Plus, you can improve your singing by following the game's advice. Awesome stuff!

I bought this as a xmas pressie for my 2 children, 10 and 7 just as an extra bit of fun over Christmas holidays. We all love it though, even my husband who can't (even by his own admission) sing! We have gone on to buy the rock disk and legends too. We compete against each other and the children play it with their friends. No point in Karaoke machines when you have this and full tv screen pop videos to go with it too. Lots of different modes you can play in, so very adaptable for however many people ...

I bought this for Christmas. I was a bit apprehensive as neither my wife or I can actually sing very well. So What? With this game you don't need to be a good singer - it is just great fun. We had friends round at Christmas and it was just so entertaining to play and have a laugh. I would definitely recommend buying this - it's as good fun as Buzz!

I was a bit ominous about it at first as a) I can't sing and b) I can't sing. But it was ace!!! I even played it sober, and had a laugh. Drunk was much more fun though. I loved the fact you could do it by yourself, with a friend, in teams, anything. Buy it, it's ace, you will not be disappointed. The ultimate game for a family or friend gathering. Ten out of ten!
