A unique idea, but... I fear for the safety of myself and others should I ever try to play it.

I'm not ashamed - I've got this.
And it's hilarious.
More to the point it has proved that I'm not the worst singer I know.

We're caught in a trap...

This has got to be one of the best ".... ok, one more go..." games ever.

But you do need friends, and some alcohol

I'd spend any amount of money to be able to take Heidi from the Sugababes home. She's dreamy...

Have to admit, I'd also give any amount of money... game form, well, I'll live with that for now...

It's the lack of Simon Cowell making you feel small that makes this good... it's just feel-good fun.

Great game with a few minor flaws:

1. You have to re-enter everyone's names every time you start a new game.

2. The random song selector keeps picking the same songs.

3. The random person selector keeps picking the same people on each team in a 4 player game.....sometimes the same people gets picked on for 5 out of the 7 rounds.

4. There needs to be a bigger variety in game modes during pass the mic. Perhaps Sony will come up with some new stuff for the inevitable expansion packs....

5. You can't harmonise in duets or apply any flair to your singing if you want to score any points!

Here's hoping for a rock/indie expansion pack, as singing The Darkness and Motorhead are by far the funniest things in the game.....

Wow. As good as Halo... I think I should let this die... but it's a classic, you see?

I shall recall this when I'm kicking your ass all over the place on Live in Halo 2 ;p
I'll know it's you Mugwum, because while I melee your Spartan's ass with a plasma sword, you'll be the one singing along to Britney's latest hit.

Take the yellow ones. They make you feel like you can fly... just make sure you have your windows well locked.

My girlfriend wants this immediately. But this is not a big problem. The real big problem is that she has terrible voice when singing and I will have to listen to it (because our apartment is so tiny I can't hide)! /:|

BTW is there a complete song list somwhere?

Karaoke == spawn of Satan!!!

How can you guys give this 8??? I will hold you personally responsible if this sells and people start going Karaoke crazy. Asia has already fallen under this evil curse.

This has gone down a storm in my house.My 2 kids aged 7 and 9 screeching and even their grandad belting out The Darkness didn't take the shine off of it. The only problem with this game is my Wifes the best in the house on all the songs.Must practise more haven't lost to the wife on a game since 2 player Mean Bean Machine on the Megadrive. Has anyone managed a good score on Lemar 50-50? That song seems impossible.Bloody Fame Academy has a lot to answer for.

When oh when is this going to disappear off the top of the page? Every time I load up the EG front page I see that hideous troll staring out at me, make it go away! It's like aversion therapy!

And the best thing is (okay, it's not the best thing, but it's certainly a good thing) that the microphones work with a PC too. Ha, stuff that, evil man in Maplin a couple of weeks ago. (Sorry, had to get that off my chest... long story)

This is the UK/European track list. There are specific Singstar versions for each country (for example, the Spanish version has just 15 of those tracks while the other 15 are by national artists).
So if you're from Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Spain or other country the song list may differ.

I am having exactly the same problem as Jimbob on several songs. Also, I exchanged the game and am having the same problem with the replacement. It is intermittent too. Sometimes it plays the songs all the way through, sometimes it goes out of sync. I am trying to work out whether it is hardware or software. I have never had this problem on any other games.
I have spoken to Sony and they have been uable to help except they will replace my machine within 24 hours with a second hand one as it's still under warranty, otherwise they will keep the machine for 7-9 weeks if I insist on a repair on my machine.
It's very frustrating as I am reluctant to part with my machine until I know for sure whether it is the PS2 or the game. Anyone else having similar problems?
