Advantages: Karaoke!!! Excellent song choice something for everyone

Disadvantages: You have to listen to some dreadful singing voices

The perfect game for a party - karaoke at its best. The Singstar phenomenon is the best idea for a games console. You can either buy the game on its own or if this is your first Singstar purchase with the microphones. If you buy it as the set it comes with 2 microphones (red and blue). These make the two teams. You can either play singly (i.e. one against one) or in a team (i.e. lots against lots). The best team game is pass the microphone just make sure you're all stood close together to stop the hurry up arguments.

There are 30 tracks featuring some of the best tunes ever made (for example Ring of Fire Johnny Cash, Roxanne by Police and Paranoid by Black Sabbath). Where applicable the original music videos show on your tv if there was no video it's a picture montage.

The idea is to sing in time and pitch with the words on the screen. You can either have the animated lines to show how in tune you are on or off. At the end you can get scored from flop to SingStar.

Here is my only problem with it. I can't sing. I'm dreadful yet I seem to score quite highly. You can even record yourself singing and play it back and even when I listen back to my singing I don't sound anything like as good as my score says. I'm not going to complain tho' it's the only game I can consistently beat my husband at!!

Summary: You will either love it or hate it - a few drinks will up the self confidence :-)
