Depending on which mode you play, you'll sing at the same time or on alternate lines. Though only one of the included songs, The Pussycat Dolls' 'Beep,' is listed as a duet, you can sing any song with another person. However, in the 'rapping' portions of the downloadable Spice Girls song 'Wannabe,' the game shows a circular meter and scores you (rather inconsistently) based on your timing. For example, during Faith No More's 'Epic,' the spoken parts are listed as 'freestyle,' and you can either say the words or do whatever you want because the game doesn't score freestyle sections. The game also handles songs with rapping or spoken words in curious fashion. This display method works reasonably well if you're familiar with a song, but on large televisions the pitch and lyrics are far enough apart that it can be difficult to watch both at once. The lyrics are shown at the bottom of the screen while horizontal lines that represent pitch are displayed above. This is great for parties or songs such as OutKast's'Hey Ya' that get repetitive.

There are three different difficulty settings, and you can sing the full song or an abbreviated version. All the while, the game tracks your score based on how many correct notes you hit. The gameplay is pure karaoke, which means that you sing, your friends laugh, and then you have them sing so that you can laugh at them.

Even the content that users have voted as the best isn't very good and mostly features well-endowed females-though the clip of a guy in a full Chewbacca costume singing and dancing makes up for most of the terrible stuff. These community features are interesting, and there do seem to be some people who are really into it, but the quality of the submissions is questionable. You can even add effects and adjust your pitch before showcasing your 'skills' with the world.

You can create a profile to display your high scores, and upload audio clips of yourself crooning, along with 20-second video clips and photos if you have either the PS2 or PS3 EyeToy camera. You can't go head-to-head with anyone online, but SingStar does have a strong online component, at least from a community standpoint. Hammer, Spice Girls, Arrested Development, KT Tunstall, Jamiroquai, Elvis, Natasha Bedingfield, Run DMC, The Hives, and many more, with additional content promised in the future. At the time of this review there are about 170 songs available from artists such as: M.C. For $1.50 you can purchase a song, along with its accompanying music video, and add it seamlessly to the game. That's where the SingStore comes into play. Per article 7a from the agreement forged at the 2004 International Karaoke Summit, Britney Spears' 'Toxic' is included.Р”В®ach song has a video that plays in the background.Р”Р„lthough the tracklist contains many popular karaoke staples, it's unquestionably light on quantity, given that you can breeze through every song in the game in about two hours. The 30 songs are performed by their original artists, including: Blind Melon, Weezer, Amy Winehouse, The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, U2, OutKast, Franz Ferdinand, Ne-Yo, R.E.M., The Pussycat Dolls, Warrant, The Cardigans, and more. The game's tracklist is short but sweet, covering a wide variety of genres and decades. You can save some cash by using the microphones from the PlayStation 2 versions of SingStar if you've got them handy, but those of you hoping to get some extra mileage out of Rock Band, Karaoke Revolution, or other USB mics are out of luck-they don't work. There are two versions of SingStar available: a $60 package that comes with two wired microphones and a $40 game-only version. However, it's a very good karaoke game that should please anyone who enjoys serenading friends and strangers with unsolicited performances of popular songs. After all, it is just a karaoke game, and there are plenty of those already. It's difficult to say that it was worth the wait.

Two years after it was first shown to the public, SingStar has finally been released in North America for the PlayStation 3.
