SingStar (PS2)

...to get hold of this Singstar game I’d heard so much about, and make him sing ‘The Ace of Spades’. Cruel, maybe, but very good fun. SINGSTAR? The incredible PS2 add-ons have, for me personally, made this console stand out from the rest. I got an Eye Toy last year, and was stunned by what you could do with it. I thought they had probably gone as far as they could with interactive games; we’re able to plug in any number of attachments already, such ...
...snowboards. The Eye Toy just seemed to take the biscuit. When I heard about Singstar, with its USB microphones which would measure the pitch and tempo of the singing, I just had to try it to see if it really worked. We easily found it in our local HMV for £39.99, which I considered an absolute bargain for the game and two microphones, as well as the USB plug in. SETTING IT UP I’d heard you could use the microphones with the Eye Toy and had assumed ...

Review of SingStar (PS2)

When a parcel arrived through my door the other day, it could have been one of a number of things that I was expecting. As I unwrapped it though, it became clear that it was nothing I ordered, but a prize from a website competition I had entered several weeks previously. The mystery package was actually the latest gadget-gizmo-game for the PS2, "Singstar". It is pretty obvious from the title of the game and the contents of the clear packaging ...
...two full size microphones !! I must point out at this stage that this is something that I would not have gone out and purchased - to me, Karaoke is something that should only be done if a) You have a good voice, b) You have a lot of self-confidence or c) You are totally drunk and don't mind making a fool of yourself - or d) a combination of all the above ! In fact, I considered listing this for sale on a certain well known auction website. However, ...

...was thrilled when Sony released Singstar for the Playstation 2. It meant that I no longer had to play dodgy platform games or horrific shoot-em ups, but I could now experience a game that was perfect for parties with my friends. I bought Singstar pretty much as soon as it came out, as a stand-alone game (I had Singstar Party as a bundle pack already). I can't remember how much I paid for it as I got it on ebay, but it was in great quality and a ...

...will convince you why. Singstar is a game that you can play solo or more fun - play as multiplayer! It is not really a kareoke game, it is more of a battle to be the best singer. The idea of the game, is to rack up as many points as you possibly can, by singing in the right key, timing, and pitch. In Singstar there are 30 different songs to choose from: Liberty X - Just a Little Ricky Martin - Livin' la Vida Loca Mis-Teeq - Scandalous The Darkness ...

Review of SingStar (PS2)

...Sony please note; What about SingStar Rock Anthems?; Queen ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, Jimmy Hendrix ‘Hey Joe’, AC/DC ‘For those about to rock’, Led Zeppelin ‘Stairway to heaven’ – you get the idea! OK so I’m probably giving my age away, but if your tastes lean towards the harder side of musical entertainment, you’ll be disappointed! In terms of hardware – the kit seems to be reasonably well made. The ‘brick’ is a little black box the size of a fag packet, ...
...A red and green 3.5mm jack offers a socket for the microphones, which were reassuringly heavy. On closer inspection these proved to be fairly inexpensive plastic bodied dynamic cardoid units, with a lump of metal inside the body, although isolation from ‘handling noises’ seemed to be reasonable enough. One problem – one didn’t work – much to the frustration of my over competitive seven year old – who, by the time we had unpacked the game and set ...

Review of SingStar (PS2)

This has to be the most original game there is, and one of the most fun to play. It is nearly as good as the pro evolution soccer games, (but only in the multiplayer mode). With this game you get two high quality microphones, one with a red stripe near the top and the other one with a blue stripe, this determines player one and player two. Okay, so you’ve got your microphone, you’ve shut all the doors and windows so nobody can hear you, now it’s ...

Review of SingStar (PS2)

...a PS2 and the complete singstar set (available for hire apparently). I just couldn't see me singing even just in front of people I knew - I just did not think that would happen. However arm firmly twisted and promised I wouldn't have to sing if I didn't want to - I toddled off round to my mates with my vodka in tow. I arrived a bit early so since just the two of us were there we decided to have a bit of a practice - still a bit nervous I went ahead ...
...best thing to do with singstar is grab some mates grab a few drinks (soft ones for the under 18s of course!!;-)) and have a good old sing song. Teams is great too as you can set it in battle mode and have a bit of a sing off. The only downside being the limit to the songs - theres about thirty per title so this can make it a bit expensive tho you could do what we did and just hire all the titles fro one evening and have a massive Karaoke fest - then ...

• General • If you're one of these people who sings in the shower, in the car while driving to work or even just hums along to songs then this is the 'game' for you. Its the 1st (at least I think so). Karaoke game for the PS 2 and surprising good considering. Bundled with the game you get 2 USB microphones, so you and a pal can sing your hearts out straight away. There is a wide selection of songs, pretty much something for anyone to sing along to ...
...London (the people also responsible for eye toy) • Game Modes • To start with you pick your margin of error, or difficulty level as the computer calls it. Either easy, medium or hard. The difficulty levels are set quite well, on easy level you can get away with a few slip ups and contrastingly the hard level, well lets just say it helps if you're a professional singer or have practiced allt!!!!! There are 3 different modes of game. 'Sing Mode' is ...

...is the original and first singstar that was released. Basically what you have to do is sing a song, and it marks you on how well you sung it. The words come up on screen, and you follow your colour along which is the same as your mic. You can use the eye toy to take a picture of yourself if you win, and also when you type in your name, which it saves on a high score board when you get in the top 5 scores. It connects to the PS2 through a pair of ...
...can play on your own or with a group of people if you prefer. When you sing a song, it gives you a score out of 1000, and tells if you are tone deaf,wannabe, hopeful, lead singer, superstar or sing star, which is the best! Modes of play: Sing mode - general singing mode for 1 or 2 players Pass the mic - Multiplayer mode for up to 8 players Star maker - a single player career mode ( this mode was taken off the other versions of sing star) Track ...
