The download works fine and there are some 220 songs currently on the PlayStation Network for you to purchase with each costing $1.50.
You can choose either a shortened version of each song or the full song for a real go at pretending to be a singer, you have the thirty songs of the original game to try your luck with.
In order to get good scores you need to end up better than you started, when a song starts they give you half of the points available and either give you more for good singing or take away for tone deaf bellowing. They don’t go too far ahead so you don’t have too much on the screen to confuse you but some songs can get a bit fast so you do need to keep on your toes.
It does a bit of practice figuring out what each word should be sung at and having the words up on the screen one sentence before you need to sing them is helpful. It’s actually pretty simple and with a few go practice sessions on each song you can do pretty good. If your blue lines for each word appear above your singing too high, bring it down, too low and you need to deepen your tone. There is also a tone bar that shows where the words are supposed to be sung according to tone. SingStar has the usual karaoke style of having words for each line appear on the screen and you have to sing the words when a small bar moves across the screen and hits each word. SingStar is a decent enough game but can really be enjoyed with a group and not alone, alone seems too much like rehearsing or practicing for a singing gig. The entire game with all the menus to navigate and even uploading your videos and audios are very easy to use and the game works very well from a technical standpoint.
There are some others for download from the PlayStation Network that cost about $1.50 each and include the music video for you to enjoy as you try to sing along to the words. SingStar comes with 30 songs in the general categories of Rock and Pop with a good enough variety to start you off, but there just are not enough songs available from this list to suite me. SingStar for the PlayStation 3 comes in two versions with the two microphones and the game disc and just with the game disc. SingStar is the next iteration of the franchise for the PlayStation 3 and does the system justice for the most part I just can’t claim the same for me.
Not your average Joe can actually just belt out a tune and get an impressive score on SingStar for the PS 3 as you do have to worry about not only timing and the words but tone.īeing mostly tone deaf and having not taken any music classes my entire life has prepared me well for SingStar to get those nice wannabee dogs and the cute cassette tape attached with the amateur status I can usually rate.
Although I have not played any other karaoke games on the PS2 this one played fine and was pretty fun but it is tough. Revamped and updated, the game sports a fresh new look, new songs, new features and is compatible with the unique SingStar™ Mic app.SingStar for the PlayStation 3 is not your average karaoke imitator and does not follow exactly along the lines of a karaoke game. SingStar™ is the all new version of the classic party game only on PlayStation®. The following Terms of Use and Privacy Policy apply to use of this app, depending on your country of residence:
