SingStar Pop Vol. 2 does not deviate from the other SingStar titles. It offers the same format (artist video + singing) and the only difference is that this disc gives you 30 new tracks. The compilation is all right, but I still wish most these were available through the SingStore (PS3/PSN)immediately, so that I wouldn't have to buy a new PS2-based disc.

Track List as follows:
* 3 Doors Down - "When I'm Gone"
* Ashlee Simpson - "Boyfriend"
* Avril Lavigne - "My Happy Ending"
* Boys Like Girls - "The Great Escape
* Cartel - "Lose It"
* Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly"
* Dixie Chicks - "Not Ready To Make Nice"
* Duran Duran - "Ordinary World"
* Evanescence - "Bring Me To Life"
* Fall Out Boy - "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs"
* Fergie - "Big Girls Don't Cry"
* Gwen Stefani feat. Akon - "The Sweet Escape"
* Jennifer Lopez - "Jenny From the Block"
* Lifehouse - "First Time"
* Lily Allen - "Littlest Things"
* Lloyd - "Get it Shawty"
* Maroon 5 - "Makes Me Wonder"
* Matchbox Twenty - "How Far We've Come"
* Michelle Branch - "Breathe"
* Nelly Furtado - "Promiscuous"
* Norah Jones - "Don't Know Why"
* P!nk - "Who Knew"
* Peter Bjorn and John - "Young Folks"
* Plain White T's - "Hey There Delilah"
* Rihanna - "Umbrella"
* Santana feat. Chad Kroger - "Into The Night"
* Steriogram - "Walkie Talkie Man"
* Sum 41 - "Fat Lip"
* The Hives - "Tick Tick Boom"

I have to say I have several of the Singstar karaoke games for PS2 and I also have several of the Karaoke Revolution games. The only things that I like more about Singstar than KR is that Singstar comes out with more games (additional songs) more often than KR and it's cool to watch the music videos while you sing on Singstar. But when it comes to the features and ease of following the lyrics, etc. Karaoke Revolution is WAY better for many reasons (I'll only list a couple here):
1 - the words come across the screen at a consistent pace but are spaced based on how quickly or slowly you have to say them, unlike Singstar that jumps from line to line and you can't really tell how quickly it expects you to go through certain lyrics and you might not have much time to see what's coming next and the 'notes' dont' line up vertically with the words so it's hard to know when to start each word
2 - the duet mode in karaoke revolution is handled like the actual duet if the song was a duet. duet mode in singstar just means one person sings some lines and another sings the other lines, it doesn't do a good job of combining harmony in parts where both singers are singing
3 - the karaoke revolution series also has a lot more configurability to set the level of music, background noise, your own vocals, etc.

I am a big fan of Karaoke Revolution and decided to pick up this game after seeing the song list. Based on the songs included, this game is well worth the purchase. You actually get the songs performed by the original artist with the actual music video, which is something you don't get from the Karaoke Revolution series. However, I like the vocal tracking better with Karaoke Revolution. It's a great game, though.

Just like all the others, this a fun game. It has a nice variety of songs that I like and ones I didn't know that I am learning. If you like the other Singstar Pops, then this one would be no exception.

fun game ...my teenage sister loves it... it is more her music then mine lol... a real fun way to do karaoke without leaving the home

The SingStar games are limited on the PS2 but this is a nice edition to the collection. About half the songs are recognizable to the average person. The other half is there to complete the 30 tracks. And of course there are the medley tracks which mixes different snippets of various tracks together for your singing enjoyment. You can't beat the price. I paid $13 which included superfast shipping.

This is a game that my wife uses when friends and family come over. Everyone seems to really enjoy themselves.

My teen daughter loves SingStar but complains that many of the song selections on the other games are "super lame," but she was excited about this one. She knows most of the songs, and the compilation was better than some of the other SingStar games.

I have purchased other SingStar games in the past and this one met my expectations as well as the others. The songs are fun and the game was what my daughter wanted for Christmas.
