More SingStar on the way for PlayStation 2
More SingStar on the way for PlayStation 2
ps2
In case you thought the announcement of SingStar for PS3 and it's downloadable content meant the end of the old PS2 SingStar franchise guess again because Sony have announced SingStar Pop Hits. As the name suggests, the new game due June 2007 features a catalogue of more chart hits from the last 10 years or so.
"Complete with 30 of the world's biggest and best pop icons such as Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, U2, Scissor Sisters and Jennifer Lopez, SingStar Pop Hits provides one of the largest pop line ups we have ever seen.".

Posted: Mon 30 Apr 07, 5:54pm So many of the songs are shit.
Dannii Minogue - I Begin To Wonder Yeah right, what a load of BS. her album flopped, and the single was in the top 50 for less than a week. I wonder, does Singstar have a big deal going with a certain record label? I'm not bitching at all the pop music, cos you can't exactly sing along to progressive metal, but I wouldn't be surprised if, say, Sony BMG paid X amount to get X amount of songs in Singstar.

Sony Playstation, Sony BMG Records... yeah i'd say they have a fair say in what songs go in the game...

Lol yeah. I didn't even see the link as i was typing it :( Meh Yeah, proper Karaoke would be heaps better, but most people who use Singstar like to do it at home. Its a good party game, that's about it.

Posted: Mon 30 Apr 07, 6:55pm why! for the love of FSM WHY???? i've left parties because of these things.Why would you leave a party because of SingStar? If everyone is having fun, do you think perhaps the problem might lie some where you haven't looked? Spoiler: you

Posted: Mon 30 Apr 07, 9:25pm no no-one i know can sing for shit. we are absolutely awful, the problem is very few of us can hear that. the entire collection of us make rejected idol tryhards sound really good.

But like i said, everyone is having fun...

Posted: Mon 30 Apr 07, 9:38pm not at that volume we werent, the tone deaf ones decided volume makes talent better. we decided we should locate the spare remotes, circuit breakers and the xbox in another room....and then another freakin house.
we take pre-emptive attempts at sing star avoidance now with xbox live arcade, and "forgetting" to connect the ps2.

Posted: Mon 30 Apr 07, 9:50pm meh. singstar's pretty good for party environments but not much else.
I usually hang around for a bit, rarely do one song, then get sick of it. If there's lots of people its good to have in the background. And most girls love it. enough to buy all five (or however many are out atm)

Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 8:06am i noticed that you need the singing voice of a ten year old boy to do any good at this game.

Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 8:14am i noticed that you need the singing voice of a ten year old boy to do any good at this game. why? you can sing an octave, maybe even two, lower (or higher)
Tue 01 May 07, 8:19am ravn0s
Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 8:19am why? you can sing an octave, maybe even two, lower (or higher) well i noticed with my little cousin he has a crap singing voice but he does really well because his voice is so high pitched. the game forces you to sing a certain way to do any good at it, which is retarded imo.
Tue 01 May 07, 8:25am deius
Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 8:25am yeah, you can sing lower, but that's probably true. the system's catered towards noobs, and you can't really sight read (ie play from notes you see) so its kind of geared towards everybody who knows the song.
meh you usually end up losing against any female anyway :/
Tue 01 May 07, 8:36am Super Cockroach
Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 8:36am I think its intentional that you lose against the females - its to win brownie points ;)

Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 5:48pm Uhh, you don't need to know the song?
Most of the people i know with 9900 on hard just hum.

Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 10:46pm ive never seen much less played singstar ever. i feel deprived. so many cool songs to sing along to.

Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 11:04pm Dammit.. when are they going to put Under The Bridge on singstar? thats a mad solo song you could even do Give It Away for one of the party songs(i think its a game mode- where EVERYONE sings)
Tue 01 May 07, 11:16pm xplosiv
Posted: Tue 01 May 07, 11:16pm I swear the input on these is fudged, sometimes the worse singers get crazy scores..
Wed 02 May 07, 9:18pm Smokinxp
Posted: Wed 02 May 07, 9:18pm A couple of good songs.
I wonder if this one will even have an intro movie too, It seemed every new version had less and less intro, til the last one where it was just a game logo. I'd love to know how they decide what people want to sing are too? My dream would be if they would combine Singstar with Guitar Hero. dOh wait they may do, it's called Rock Band.

Posted: Thu 03 May 07, 8:48am Why so negative on SingStar? Even if you sound terrible, it's good for a laugh. We've had great fun with a bunch of girls and guys in a lounge room, having a few drinks and singing along together. The party mode makes it all the more interesting. Unlikely duets being formed, hotseat, etc. The team based play makes for a bit of friendly rivalry to boot.
It's either that, or have all your female friends drag you along to a karaoke bar. Embarrass yourself in front of your friends AND others, and more expensive for drinks to boot. =P

Posted: Sat 12 May 07, 12:39pm they should put mad metal songs on singstar I think the poppy shittiness of the songs is the best part. The game is trying to target as big of an audience as possible, so it's understandable that they don't feature your older brothers garage band. Even though most of us don't like any of the songs on it, we still have heard most of them, and can probably participate in it if we had to at a gathering. Alot of the singstar games have some pretty good rock in them aswell, The Clash and Motorhead are like the only two I can think of at the moment.

Posted: Sat 12 May 07, 1:41pm Just humm in the right key at the right time and you'll get crazy scores.
