4.0 out of 5 stars Died and gone to 80's heaven, September 23, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: SingStar 80's (Stand Alone) (Video Game)

Yes, I grew up in the 80's so I was prepared to enjoy this game from the moment I saw the song list.
If you've played or know of the gameplay in other SingStar titles, nothings changed. The only reason I give this 4 stars overall (as I would the other S.S. titles) is that rather than singing well, Singstar wants you to mimic the artists performance. Don't get me wrong - it's a fun challenge - but you could grunt instead of knowing the lyrics and as long as your timing and notes are right, the game doesn't seem to care. Don't forget you need the special Singstar microphones to play the title so if you don't already have them, you'll need to buy them.
The playlist is great. I expected the same generic songs you'd find on your typical 80's compilation cd, but they throw in a few unique titles such as Kim Wilde's 'Kids in America' Nena's '99 Red Balloons' and Erasure's 'a Little Respect'. Video's I hadn't seen SINCE the 80's. All in all, if you like 80's music and music videos and like to sing, SingStar 80's will give you hours of fun and nostalgia. Like, totally...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Singstar Title, June 7, 2009

Great collection of hits from the eighties from all genres. I have a PS3 and the PS2 disc works just fine on it, just needed a quick software download and presto. And if you put in a PS3 Singstar game first and then swap to a PS2 one the PS2 one will have the same graphics and interface as the PS3 one....so a good way to add to your PS3 Singstar library is to buy all the old PS2 titles, they can be had for a great price here on Amazon.

I grew up in the '80's, so I knew I had to have this game. Even if you can't carry a tune, it is so much fun to play. My 6-year-old and 11-year-old daughters love to play it with me.
