SingStar (PS2)
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.
Using two microphones (not included), 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 Mot?rhead–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. –Simon Brew

Customer Review: Great fun.
I bought this as a gift for my sisters 16th birthday. It did not dissapoint, she was right on the ps2 giving it a go. We already had the 80s, RnB and another one but had major trouble finding this in any shop. So thats a bonus right there. It came 3 days after i ordered it. Its the only game with a story mode too it as the others are more fun based but this gives you an objective. Right this very min my sister is singing her heart out on it and im glad it did not dissapoint.
Customer Review: Great to play with friends and family
This is the first ever singstar and although other versions have more features on (such as medleys…); this has possibly the best selection of songs. Ultimately when choosing which Singstar to buy, it’s the songs that matter and this has a good selection of new and old pop songs. It guarantees fun for you and your friends and family and although it’s not really worth playing alone much, it is worth the money it is sold for.
