This game was ok, but not worth the money. The songs are more up-to-date and cool, but the overall fun of the game isnt as good as karaoke revolution. There are no "extras" or really even goals to try to achieve. Also, you have to use the special "singstar" microphones.

The kids just love to sing and have fun with their friends. even the guys have been involved in the fun. I have seen alot of laughs and giggles more than anything else.

Great new PS2 addition

If your kids love DDR and guitar hero, this will make a great addition. Just be prepared to hear Love Shack mutilated by tone deaf 13 year olds!

good fun

Good family fun. Everyone liked the game and had fun participating. Although we played with adjusting volume it was often a bit difficult to hear your own voice especially in playback function. Teenager was disappointed in song selections, and I was somewhat. For "Rocks" there didn't seem to be that many rock songs. Also would be nice if there were a larger number of song selections or at least the ability to earn more songs.

BOUGHT THIS FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN, WHO ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT. TROUBLE WITH IT IS AFTER A WHILE THE ADULTS AND KIDS ARE HAVING A TUG-A-WAR OVER THE MIKE. I DROPPED A STAR IN OVERALL BECAUSE IT ONLY COMES WITH ONE MIKE (OURS DID) AND IT COULD USE ADDITIONAL SONGS.

UK Tracklist is better!

I recently bought this game and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. The downside, as mentioned in previous reviews, is that these mics won't work with Karaoke Revolution games. It's a shame because the microphones feel heavy and well made and it's a pain to have to get another mic on top of these just to play the other games.

I haven't played KR so I cannot compare the two, but I was very disappointed that Maximo Park, Franz Ferdinand, Hard-Fi, Queen and plenty of others were not included in the US version. Next time, perhaps they can keep the UK tracklist and simply add more songs to suit the US market if they must? If they release the 80s version here they'd do quite well to keep that one exactly the same, unless of course they'd like to add more songs like I suggested above... I'm all for that.

All in all, this game has been fun and that's all I really wanted from it. It could have been more fun with the songs from the UK version but I knew they were missing when I bought it so it really doesn't bring my overall rating down.

Singstar Sucks!

I received Singstar for Christmas and was EXTREAMELY disappointed. After seeing the commercials on TV (which make the game look like so much fun), I had a rude awakening. The songs (most of them) on the game are too old for younger generation karaoke lovers to enjoy singing to. I'm sure that people over the age of 30 really enjoy the game, but anyone younger than that shouldn't waste their money on this game. Go out and buy Karaoke Revolution instead!

good times

For a group of early 20-somethings that don't feel like spending money at the bar, this is a fantastic game. Normally my friends and I break out DDR, but this is definitely our new favorite. It's great weekend entertainment without dishing out loads of cash. A MUST for house parties.

The playlist is amazing, it has a nice mix of classics and new songs. When I was comtemplating buying this item I looked at the playlist and saw Friday I'm in Love by The Cure. It sealed the deal for me.

For younger kids with a more...general taste in music (i.e. rap, R&B, top 40 pop) this is not the game for you. But for those of us with a broader, more eclectic taste in music, this is the one to pick up.
