Singstar PopWorld:
A couple of Christmases ago I got a pink PS2 which came with a Singstar game, (Pop World), and the microphones. To be honest at the time I just wanted the pink PS2 and I didn’t think I would play Singstar really but now I love playing Singstar and I have about five different ones. (Because this is the Singstar edition I got with the mics etc I will cover the mics and adapter in this review).
Singstar is a game for the PS2, (they do some for the PS3 now as well). You need the microphones as well and the USB adapter so you can attach them to the PS2 via one of the USB ports on the front of the console.
The aim of the game is to sing-along and try to match the pitch of the original recording which plays along at the same time. You will quickly discover that Singstar is not about sounding good and in fact to get a good score you will sound rather awful and funny at times which is all part of the fun
I must admit that every time I have seen some-one have their first go they are always really reluctant to give it a go but they have all ended buying a Singstar game themselves.
The USB connector is really cool as it will work in your PC, (you will need some kind of software to make them work), and it has standard 3.5ml jack sockets, (on things like amps etc).
The microphones are really good quality and very heavy. The only mics I have found of comparable quality cost a minimum of £15.00 each. Each mic is colour coded, (you get one with red trim and one with blue trim), and they plug into the corresponding coloured socket on the USB adapter. The mics pick up sound really well without picking up too much background noise. They feel good in your hand as well which adds to the whole rock star feel. (You can set the volume for the mics using the PS2 controller).
As with most of the Singstar editions, (there are loads like 80s, 90s, legends etc), there are good and bad songs. Now while you might not choose to listen to the rubbish ones normally it can be quite funny to have a go at singing them and even funnier to watch some one else do them!
There are 30 songs on the PopWorld edition such as Beyonce – Crazy in Love, The Clash – Should I Stay or Should I Go and Blink 182 – What’s my Age Again. As the name suggests the songs on this edition are mainly Pop songs making this one of my least favourite editions of Singstar. The mix is reasonably good and if you are a Pop fan then you would probably love this. I have to admit watching men sing along with Beyonce is one of the funniest sights you will ever see!
There are several modes to keep you entertained including solo acts, duets, battles, (where 2 people sing the same song and compete for points), and freestyle where you are not scored at all.
All the songs are accompanied by the original videos, (if the song had one in the first place), and you will get colour-coded lyrics and bars across the screen showing if you are matching the pitch or not.
There are 3 difficulty settings but generally we only use the easy setting as it’s hard enough for us!
You can pick this edition up with the mics and adapter from Amazon for £33.03 new and £19.94 used. Without the mics for £8.85 new and £7.99 used and just the mics and adapter for £13.49 new and £9.99 used.
I would defiantly recommend this game to anyone. As I mentioned earlier everyone I have introduced this to has gone on to get their own copy!
Advantages: Great Fun For All The Family Disadvantages: Highly embarrassing if you cant sing.
...who have not played the Singstar series of games on the PS2 games console this is probably one of the greatest money spinners that Sony have come up with in years.
A cross between Karaoke and X Factor this is more fun than you can shake a stick at. To play the game you require a microphone preferably 2 for multi player and as an added extra although not absolutely necessary a Eye Toy camera which are both attached to the PS2 through USB.
The aim ... ...are also available in the Singstar series once you have grown tired of playing PopWorld.
Legends, Anthems, Rocks, 80s, Party and the original Singstar but this is dated now compared to the newer releases.
I do hope this review has shown just how great this game is and at only £17.99 at gameplay without mics or £29.99 with mics you really should give it a try.

Advantages: Great fun for the family!! Disadvantages: NONE REALLY!!
...is in use on the singstar only when your score goes on the high score table as you have to write your name in and then stand there and smile or do whatever you want and then it takes a picture of you and then your photo will be on there also it will be saved only if you have a memory card.
MY OPION ---------------
Well my opion is its great fun and it will keep you entertained for hours and hours also even if you cant sing it will still be fun ... ...as they see how good your voice is and then at the end it will tell you how many points and what you are here is the ones you can get:
Tone deaf
Amateur
Wannabe
Lead singer
Hit artist
Super Star SING STAR
The best one there is Sing star and I got that last night. The lowest is Tone deaf.
Thank you for reading and hope this helps.

Advantages: Improve your singing, get discovered, become famous and rich. Disadvantages: Delusions of grandeur.
The third offering in the SingStar range! If you haven't played any of these games before, they are really simple. You need to have a microphone attached to your PS2, you can buy this game with the microphones included, or without if you already have microphones. Then you just pick a song that you want to sing, and try to make your voice match the artist's. This is shown on the screen as a series of horizontal bars, if your voiceis too high, it goes ... ...bar. If it's exactly right, the bar glows and you get lots of lovely points! My favourite tracks:
Ronan Keating & Ysuf Islam - Father and Son Sister Sledge - We are family Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go? Tom Jones - It's not unusual Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You Keane - Somewhere only we know
Manfred Mann - Do Wah Diddy Natasha Bedingfield - These Words Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You

Advantages: Fun to play, funny, improves your voice Disadvantages: Some unknown songs
Basically Singstar popworld is a game for Playstation 2. It is the third disk in the series. To be able to play it you need to have two compatible microphones which can be brought with the game. From most stores if you purchase the game and 2 microphones it usually is around £30. The object of the game is to sound like the artists you are trying to mimic. There are bars that tell how you how close you are to the "perfect note". Quite simply if you ... ...best rank Singstar. To achieve Singstar you have to get 90% of the notes. 9000 out of a possible 10000. You can sing alone or go up against someone else in battle mode, also if there is a large number of you (up to 8 I think) you can play party mode. This is where you split up in to 2 teams and go generally head to head. Singstar makes up different games like pass the mike and the first one to reach a certain score ECT. There are 5-7 rounds depending ...
