Advantages: Great party game Disadvantages: They missed out some great duet opportunities
...energy is used to play Singstar rather than using a dance mat, it won the day and within an hour or so I was hooked. So when I found out Singstar Party was due to be released in November, it went straight to the top of my Christmas list. In fact, I was so desperate to get my hands on it that once it was delivered, it never actually got wrapped and sent to Santa. Instead it was just put into the Playstation.
Loading up Singstar Party is easy. Place ... ...many different ways of playing Singstar Party and one of the main differences with this game from the original Singstar is that they have included several duets so you and a partner can play against each other singing different parts of the song and being scored separately or with each other and earning one score for both of you. This adds a new dimension to the game as often you are expected to sing a harmony which may not be the tune you are used ...

Luckily, SCEI released Singstar Party, only about four months later, and as well as doing away with the superfluous ‘career mode’, added many more eye-popping Eye-toy features, giving this series of games a much needed boost.

Singstar Party is a bit of an add-on, as it’s basically the same game, just with new songs.
SETTING IT UP
Very easy indeed, just plug the two microphones into the USB device, and then plug in the device! You can also plug the Eye-toy into the other USB port, meaning twice the fun.
The disc loads itself (as do most games), but if you put in the ‘Party’ disc first, you can actually change to the other ‘Singstar’ disc without having ...

...the glorious invention that is Singstar Party. Now, as long as you have a PS2 (which you should, unless you a) are poor or b) have a life), you can have hours of karaoke fun in your own home. IN A NUTSHELL You sing songs for points. "Yes, I'm great at singing!" you say after belting out a bit of Kylie. "No, you're actually poor at singing" says the points-o-meter on the screen. You can sing on your own, do duets, or play a variety of team games that ... ...way, the song selection on Singstar Party, I feel, could have been better. IS IT FUN?

If you imagine the funnest thing you've ever done in your life, it's probably pretty close to that.

This gives you a chance to practice the songs and you do not get scored.. or make up your own lyrics if you feel really adventurous!

Come on, be honest, how many of you dream of being a pop star?? Most of you I bet! Almost every woman dreams of the glamour and the men dream of the fame and fortune. Now you can pretend even more that you have what it takes with this second installment of the "Singstar" games

For those who haven't experienced Singstar before, I recommend reading the original review on this site here, so that you see the complete picture - I won't repeat it all again here.

We tested Singstar Party with a collection of twentysomethings that we had conveniently doused in alcohol- the way to enjoy ... ...collection of multiplayer options and if you jump for the team options, you'll be disappointed to learn that it won't support more than 2 mics - so you can't all hang onto a mic and sing when you are told to.

If there are lots of you, make sure you get the names in at the beginning of the game - or you'll be trying ...

Quick review of SingStar Party (PS2)
This game is amazing! Provides endless hours of fun for you and your friends/family. Perfect for parties and drunken nights :)
There are around 30 tracks to choose from which are all well known. The only disadvantage is is that after you've tried all of the songs you tend to get a bit bored, so buying the rest of the singstar range is a definite must!
I thoroughly enjoyed singstar, and will continue to play it for a long time. ...
