However, for current SingStar owners, it's difficult to recommend a disc that's fundamentally identical outside of its song list. The SingStar community features work exceptionally well, and although the SingStore is still a work in progress, it's got its fair share of great songs for download. If you've never tried a SingStar title and this tracklisting holds more appeal than the first game's, then it's a worthwhile pick-up as a technically sound karaoke title. There's no trophy support for hardcore fans, nor are there new accessories. Although it has a wide berth of exclusive (and fun to sing) tracks, it offers little in improvements over Sony's six month-old release.
2's track selection has a fairly equal balance of contemporary hits and classics. 1) versus Panic! At the Disco, Aerosmith, and Sara Bareilles ( Vol. 2 offers a mostly fresh song collection, so if you're SingStar-curious and haven't picked one up, it's really going to come down to the decision between The Ramones, Beck, and Corinne Bailey-Rae ( Vol.
SINGSTAR VOL 2 PS2
(It's important to note that most of the songs found here are not compiled from existing SingStore content, nor from previously released PS2 games.) Vol.
SINGSTAR VOL 2 PS3
If anything, it seems as though it's designed for PS3 owners who don't own the first game, or maybe for those who didn't find the first title's tracklisting appetizing enough.
SINGSTAR VOL 2 FULL
It's a game that SingStar owners should grouse about, since it's basically just a disc full of content that could just as easily be digitally distributed to Vol. The SingStore doesn't feature songs from the first game for Vol. 2 only serves to contribute to these problems with a new issue. The amount of English-language tunes pales in comparison to those available to our buddies across the pond -and more often than not, we see it filled with UK bands that have made little impact Stateside. It's no secret that the American version of the SingStore has gotten the short end of the stick compared to its European counterpart. More importantly, it's got a strong selection of downloadable content that, as in the Rock Band games, is designed to give you an Everlasting Gobstopper of songs. It's a social hub that does a great job of uniting its community members, who can be an odd bunch. After the six months that SingStar has been available Stateside, a visit into the community section of the game reveals some real creativity to many gamers' performances, from music video re-enactments to guys jamming out in Stormtrooper outfits. If you own a PlayStation Eye you can post videos of your best performances online for others to judge. It's a karaoke game that's just as inspired by YouTube and MySpace as it is by the act of singing. 2 thrives on technological bells and whistles unavailable in the previous generation of consoles. At the end of the proceedings, the game gives you a score and rank based on your performance. These are Golden Notes, and hitting them gives you astronomically higher scores. The scoring system is based on pitch instead of octaves, and at certain points in a song you'll see shimmering notes. SingStar uses music videos as its backdrops (unless it's a classic song released before the MTV era), and notes are superimposed over the video clip. You can use a USB camera to take photos or capture videos to post online. The game uses a USB dongle, which holds two microphones for two players. 2 is a questionable purchase, since it offers no technical improvements over its six month-old predecessor.Įvery SingStar game features the same core ideas. But if you've already taken the plunge and picked up the first PS3 title, SingStar Vol. If you've never played a game in the series, then this sequel makes for a fine introduction. Now Sony has released another compilation of SingStar tracks on its HD console. Stateside, we've seen eight games in two years on PlayStation 2, and one big installment on PlayStation 3. Sony's SingStar franchise has a storied legacy as the king of karaoke, at least outside the United States.
