Product Description

Get ready to step up on stage and into the spotlight as you turn on your inner rock star with SingStar. It's sort of like Karaoke but ampd up toward a more sophisticated game level. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's London Studio, SingStar Amped offers a compilation of dozens of chart-topping hits for players to perform. Only SingStar allows players to steal the spotlight with a solo performance in single-player mode and share the stage with multiplayer options including cooperative Duet Mode, one-on-one Battle Mode and the team-based Pass-the-Mic.
The perfect game to keep the party going, players can easily expand their song library by accessing the song list from any SingStar game for the PS2 while playing another, via the quick disc swap feature.
With the launch of the critically acclaimed SingStar and EyeToy series of games, Sony London Studio has created truly revolutionary and commercially successful IP and introduced the concept of social gaming to a whole new generation of consumers. With these two titles gaining 3 BAFTA awards between them and a whole host of accolades from the press and consumers as well as industry peers, the studio has gained an enviable reputation for creating fun, innovative games which appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike.

This review is from: SingStar Amped (Stand Alone) (Video Game)

My family has a lot of fun with Singstar and we own Amped, Rocks, '80s and Pop. Amped is probably my favorite.

First thing you need to know is to not pay any attention the song list Amazon has on here, I think their's is pulled from the European version or something, I'd have to look. Someone complained about having this and not being familiar with any of the songs, do you live in cave? I'm pushing 50 and I know them and not because they're all from my "era" although some are. Typical of Singstar I don't think the songs really fit their version titles though. Like on Rocks there are songs here I don't think belong on the "Amped" version. Here's a listing of the songs on the US version.

Alice in Chains - Would?
Audioslave - Cochise
Blink 182 - I Miss You
Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper
Boston - More Than A Feeling
Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me
David Bowie - Changes
Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race
Foo Fighters - Best Of You
Free - Alright Now
Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (Wild One)
Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin'
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
Nickelback - Savin' Me
Nirvana - Come As You Are
O.A.R. - Love and Memories
Pearl Jam - Alive
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Queens Of The Stone Age - Go With The Flow
Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize
Radiohead - Creep
Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline
Sublime - Santeria
Talking Heads - Burning Down The House
The Killers - When You Were Young
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion
Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin'

Very much like the other Singstar games, just different songs. I loved that a lot of them were from my high school era (mid-90's). This is a great one for parties because everyone gets "amped" and can dance/jump/mosh around with this disc. I love it.

Our family enjoys playing singstar often!! This was more challenging than some of the earlier versions but we soon improved our scores! If you have kids or just love Rock 'n Roll and singing along with the radio you will have a great time with this one!!!
