Then you'll be able to download songs and videos for hundreds of songs. If you're not that fond of these songs, hold off for the PS3 version and get yourself a PS3. So in the end, if you love the songs on this list, you'll like the game. I loved the XBox games that let you download tons of content - but here I have to wait for the new PS3 version to come out before I have that ability. Out of the list of songs, there were a handful I really enjoyed and a few others I would sing - but many just weren't of interest to me. I realize I'm an adult gamer, and not a teen, but I wish there was more of a range of songs offered here. You of course need the Eye Toy for this part to work! This helps the singer both perfect their pitch and vocal range as well as their on-stage expressiveness. This is great for aspiring club singers to get a sense of what they look like for an audience, to practice their moves and gestures. There's a video mode where you can film yourself singing, and then play it back. Also, the game seems to pick up on the actual singer's vocals, so even if you barely sing at all, you get a good rating.

They barely give you a sense of the pitch, and in situations where the singer 'warbles', the note line often is a straight line. It's just the video playing, you singing along, and the words scrolling by to help you out. You don't get to choose different arenas. There isn't a career mode, or much of any other 'gaming' aspect. That really is the main focus of this game. So if you love singing along to videos, this is perfect. It's a purchase that will last you a system upgrade.Īlso, where many other games use replacement singers and not the actual artists - which can lead to results ranging from comical to outright awful - this game involves the real singers, real videos, real images, everything. I find it a bit annoying that SingStar makes you buy SingStar specific microphones, and won't work with other standard PS2 microphones, but if you get into the series you could justify the added price since the mics work with the PS2 and PS3 equally. I own and play many of the other game systems, and like this style of gameplay in general. The videos are what set this apart from the many other sing-along games for the PS2. SingStar Pop for the PS2 lets you choose from over 30 different pop songs and sing along with the music videos.
