That cover makes me laugh.

Wow...better songs than on other music games that I won't mention in fear of backlash from other users - and yet I've gone into this much detail giving extreme hint as to which games I'm referring to.

He's WATCHING you

That's a pretty solid lineup. I'm awfully tempted, except I live in a building with paperthin walls - the singing ain't gonna fly with the neighbors! :(

The Rolling Stones
Sympathy For The Devil

It makes it all worth it!

That's an awesome list of songs. If I had a PS3 I'd definitely pick this up.

Shit, I'd buy that.

@slikz21: I've trashed this cover several times, but for the first time I noticed something:

Doesn't it look like that guy's arm is coming from someone else. I feel like it's way too disproportionately small.

ill bet if this was rated M for mature they wouldn't have had to photoshop a real mic into his hands and we could have seen the real artwork for this funtabularly awesome game.

@Methusalah: I'll second that. for once a singing title actually delivers.

@slikz21:

Yeah, it makes me laugh too. It also makes me want to slap those glasses right off of his smug face! Haha.

@bangbangblah: - "Doesn't it look like that guy's arm is coming from someone else. I feel like it's way too disproportionately small."

Yeah, it doesn't look right at all.

Why is Blink 182 still being put in games or anything for that matter? Ugh. Nice to see Faith No More, though.

AAAAAAAARGH! DAMN YOU AMERICA!

Our version in EU has "Pass the Dutche". No, really.

@bangbangblah:
that's the perspective from a wide-angle lens :/

He's like Napoleon Dynamite five years later!

On topic, it looks like a pretty solid line up.

Oh, and if you guys into SingStar want some REAL drunken party fun, I can not recommend Get On Da Mic highly enough. It has EyeToy support, and is the most unintentionally funny gave ever made. Period.

@Kanik: How DARE you trash Rez!

Wait... What?

I <3 the Pixies. :D

Actually really good line-up. I can totally see myself singing the bowie song.

LET'S DANCE!

I hate hate hate the Singstar cover art with all my heart. That guy just makes the rage in me grow every time I look at him.

they couldn't find a better beck song? nor radiohead? 'losing my religion' is a real downer too.. oh well, no ps3 here, so it don't matter nohow.

/whine

30 tracks for $60? What is this, Guitar Hero DS?

And don't give me the SingStore line, Sony. Rock Band shipped with twice as many and they even had to include three other note charts for each song. Rock Band's also up to (estimating) at least 150 tracks if you count their store.

I got to play singstar at Coachellafest, it was pretty neat. Really just another karaoke game though.

SingStar... guys... nobody on this green earth can match Billy Corgan's vocals. Nobody. That's just unfair.

Wow I'm actually rather impressed. That bowie song is one of my favorites :)

But I must ask, wheres the Buju Banton???

Wow, I must admit that is a really solid lineup.

Its either forced or false perspective for his right (mic) arm. You can get a fish-eye perspective with any camera when shooting like this. Though the placement of the game name doesn't help.

@Eranmane: I re-read that three times, the first two times incorrectly because it didn't make sense that someone would dislike Pass the Dutchie. If they wanted to sell billions of copies, all to me, they'd make a Singstar where every song was Pass the Dutchie. As unlockables, you'd get Pass the Dutchie played backwards, Pass the Dutchie played at 3x the speed and techno Pass the Dutchie with sirens. The masses (read: me) would get the Dutchie they crave and Musical Youth would get to eat that month. Everybody wins!

@ShaggE: Most people can't sing through their noses and not screw up their vocal chords in the process (Not even Corgan)

Good to see they put one of my favorite Pixies songs in there.

where's the Hilary Duff and Hannah Montana Sony?

@swarmster:

$60 includes 2 USB mics.

You spend money your way...others will spend it theirs.

This title is not for fans of Rock Band. (necessarily)

Honestly, that's not bad.

But I see no reason to need anything but Rock Band at this point unless you're really itchin' to sing some Amy Winehouse for whatever reason.

Today by Smashking Pumpkins just sealed the deal for me!!!!!

@KaneRobot: Two play coop singing duets is the large draw, plus large variety of music that isn't just rock is the point. Wife wants this actually, she likes to sing in Rock Band with us guys but she always is sad that it's often rock songs that she doesn't even know and would like variety.

I think it is a great line-up. I am just disappointed at the number of tracks offered for that price. For sixty bucks I think I would want more tracks. Oh well, I can afford to wait until the price in the game drops.

Not gonna lie, I really don't care for Singstar that much...as I always thought that Karaoke Revolution was more fun (the pitch meter really helped out)...but man there are some songs in this game I would love to see in Rock Band.

So is this the same deal as on PS2 where only SingStar mics work? I remember they made a pretty clear point that "regular" USB mics, like those from Karaoke Revolution, wouldn't work in the PS2 versions.

Any idea?

i think the whole creating your own videos and rating other's videos could be enjoyable, kind of like a youtube for singstar owners.

the tracklist is nice and for 40 bucks its not too bad.

i heard you can use the rockband mic as this simply uses usb mics.

@zoesch: Exactly. Although, I'm under the suspicion that he's not human. :p

that cover is god aweful. the list isnt that bad actually though, im suprised there's anything i'd actually try on there. Either way I have rock band so i won't be picking this up but this would be a cheap alternative if i didnt want to pay for rock band.

@TheApprentice:

Hannah Montanna can be found in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. I'm sure Jezebel or Fleshbot has more on that! :)

Epic seals the deal for me. That song is win.

the cover guy is just asking for an ass kicking.

No Surprises.

That song is just... amazing.

I'm busy on the Rock Band forums asking for OK Computer to be a DLC Album, and I'm not into kareoke, but I'm sure I'd make an exception for this lot.

Hmmm I know I won't get this but I like most of these songs.

Surprisingly good stuff on there! But of course, I got all excited reading "David Bowie", I scrolled down, hoping against reason it would be one of the, you know, good songs, and... Why is it always the same 1980s crap that ends up on compilations, TV shows, videogames, etc.? If they're going to pimp out Bowie's songs, at least pimp out the better ones.
(Yeah, I know there's no accounting for taste, and you have every right to love Let's Dance and China Girl, and there are no absolutes when it comes to music and art and bla-bla-bla... Still, Diamond Dogs would make for a hell of a karaoke session. Bring Your Own Make-Up.)

And U2... now that's a band you want to pick a 1980s song from. Nevertheless, a good track list overall. I mean, it is SingStar.

Note to devs/publishers: I'll buy the first music game that lets me "sing" Gil Scott-Heron. 'Cause I'm cool that way. (Plus, I can't sing worth shit. That too...)

I just wish all my friends weren't guitar / drum people... I'd love to do a duet, but no one here likes singing...

I saw this game at Coachella this past weekend...Its ass! Its nothing compared to the (up to) 4 games in 1 that is rock band. The whole time people would sing I just wanted to play along with them and guess what I couldnt....

@juicemaster23:
Probably because it's a karoke game and not trying to be Rock Band.Singstar has been a hit for a while in Europe.It's good fun for singers/karoke folks.

@ShaggE: He isn't human. Last I heard, he's just a rat. . . .

Wow this is actually a decent track list. Much better than any of the other versions. We have been thinking about getting a PS3 for a Blu-ray player so now I guess we would have at least one game to go with it.

Pretty good track list, hope they stop all this regional store malarkey. I want to get tracks from all over the world not just my 'little island'!

@Ghede: That game had it coming, and I'm glad I was the first to open my mouth and criticize it.

!!!!!!

I can't listen to Lovefool anymore without a certain scene from "Hot Fuzz" coming to my mind and laughing uncontrollably.

That is a pretty solid line up but I only like a few of the songs. Jane's Addiction and Blind Melon should be in Rock Band, and perhaps a few of the tracks by artists who already show up in Rock Band.

I mean, I have a blast playing front man in Rock Band, but I'm really the only guy who gets up and sings when I'm playing and drinking with my friends.... So this game wouldn't be a great purchase for me.
