SingStar

Singstar is great fun for all the family and a great buzz as well no end 2 d partying with this game kids loved it i loved it and yes even me husband loved it

Why are people slagging this title off for not having microphones included?? Can these people not read, the first line of the description states there are no microphones included, perhaps if they were unable to grasp that concept they shouldn't be playing games anyway??? The idea of being able to rent these games with no mics is for those of us who have other games in the singstar series so already have the microphones.

Everyone knows that the best form of entertainment is watching people making complete fools of themselves. How do you think 'You've Been Framed' ever made it to series twenty, even long after beardy jester Jeremy Beadle (RIP) left, to be replaced by the salad-dodging lass who munched on pies inbetween her hilarious commentary on clips of uncles falling over at weddings. Well, here comes Singstar, the PS2 family favourite, marching onto the next-gen system.

Gameplay consists of screeching into a microphone and attempting to match the pitch of the lead singer on a variety of tunes, or, if you are spectating, trying not to do yourself an injury from laughing too much. The tunes are actually pretty decent, with only a couple of dodgy entries such as the Pusssycat Dolls (I had to misspell it as in its normal form, I was flagged for using an obscene word - we all know, of course, that the only obscene thing about it is the 'band' themselves), and the dire Robbie Williams/Nicole Kidman effort. Seriously, if that song was a horse, I'd turn it into glue. And pour the glue into a volcano. And then blow up the volcano.

Of course, once you've removed every last shred of dignity that remains, you can go online and download some more tracks to murder. And don't forget the support for the PS3 Eye Toy, which not only records your ear-shattering performances, but also how wasted you look as you stagger about your living room, pretending that your cat is an audience of thousands of punked out teenagers all screaming your name. And if you can make it through all that without throwing up on your cousin, then you've got a morning of severe headaches and shame to look forward to the next day, not to mention supreme horror when you realise your younger siblings have uploaded your video performance onto the Internet, where total strangers can soil themselves watching you pretending to be Cher while wearing your mother's high heels.

The One-Sentence Review: Would be perfect if only it automatically ordered you a kebab at the end of a session.

i cant believe people are on here complaining about having got the game and there being no mikes it says pretty clearly there are no mikes. you`s are so thick mabey you should learn to read before you sing

This games is like the others but a little more advanced, it has a more high spec lay out and but the game it self is highly enjoyable with a few mates and some drinks its a barrel of laughs but it also has one little down side if you own the old ones and have a ps3 that doesnt play ps2 games then you will have to pay for all the other tracks to sing as there is only 36 songs on the ps3 version, overall this games is enjoyable and doesn't have a real downside issue.
