 Coming from a singer, Singstar is awesome. May 23, 2008

I've sung for a band for a good portion of my life. It's one of my favorite things to do in the world. I also enjoy very much going to Karaoke and have always looked at it as a way to strengthen my voice. Singstar will now be a part of that regimen.
For those interested in just singing and not playing guitar or any other instrument Singstar for the PS3 is a welcomed addition to the ever growing line up of music games. This is a fantastic product for those who love to sing or do sing for a living. Not only is it fun but it's great for vocal practice. I never owned a PS2 so this is my introduction into the Singstar series. One of the best features is the download content. Bravo to Sony for offering so much right out of the gate and I am truly excited to see what songs come next.
The video feature was also a pleasant surprise. I love being able to see other people across the globe enjoying themselves while singing. Some of the videos are quite good and some are quite funny. There was one of a guy dressed as a wookie singing "I don't feel like dancing" by the Scissor Sisters that was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. So in essence this game opens the door for a lot of creativity because of that feature.
Thank you Sony for doing such a stellar job on this product. It's going to get a lot of use on my end and has easily become my favorite games on the PS3 so far.
 Song selection is awful July 2, 2008

Firstly, I must say that the game itself is great. Hugely entertaining and fun to play. The major problem with it is lack of songs - or rather, lack of good songs.. The bundle itself comes with 30 songs, which, even if I liked all of them (which I don't) wouldn't last me more than a couple of hours of play time. After an hour or so, my husband and I exhausted all the included songs, so we signed online to download more. Out of over 200 songs, there were only about 20 he and I had ever even heard of, and of those, we liked less than 10. I am actually shocked by how poor the song selection is - no current pop artists (Christina, Justin) or R&B (Beyonce, Ciara) or popular bands (Maroon 5, Dave Matthews) - no Sting, John Mayer, Phil Colins, BeeGees, Black Eyed Peas, Norah Jones.. no Country music to speak of... and yet hundreds of songs by unknown artists? I've retired the game until a proper song selection is made available.
Another problem is the difference in volume between songs. One selection is barely audible and the next one is blowing out your ear drums, so you basically have to reset background and mic volume levels everytime you change songs.
I would suggest checking out the song selection online first. If you can find atleast 40 songs you'd be willing to spend $1.50 on, go ahead and buy the game. If not, I would wait.

The is great! Love the fact that you can do the karaoke thing on the ps3. Only thing that dissapoints is the song selection. I mean, there are good songs on the 80's and little on the 90's. But the rest of the selection.... Are of bands you never ever heard of in life and the songs are really boring or not great to sing for .
Here's the punch line, these (unknown bands) are what mostly populate the singstore song titles, I mean... who is going to spend $$ on those songs!!
THey need to get better selection soon or this game is just a gimmick that is going to die fast without content.
Karaoke Revolution is MUCH more fun June 6, 2008

From all of the hype this product got, I was actually quite disappointed. The number of songs to select was not that great. You can get more, but that requires purchasing them. I was hoping for a wider variety of songs for the older and younger crowds ... but they seem to only focus (or mainly focus) on younger people - teens. This means people who are older will probably not be as familiar with the songs.
I'm sure this game could get better ... once they include a wider variety of songs. Until that happens, my experience was quite bland. I'm sure some will enjoy it ... but I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Karaoke Revolutions 1, 2 and 3.
Buy it for the SingStore May 22, 2008

SingStar is a great party game as everybody knows. It's worth it for just the songs that came with the game. Integration with the Eye video camera is a blast. But to me, the best feature is the SingStore. With already two hundred songs available and 25-50 more coming every month, there will be endless songs to which you may humiliate yourself and your friends.
