This allows you to turn your PS3 into a Karaoke machine. It comes with two mics that work well and 30 songs. It won't be that much fun if you just buy this game and only sing the songs it comes with. You just gotta sign onto the PS3 store and buy the songs you like for $1.49 each. I found tons that I like, but don't expect to get EVERY song you like. The library is currently 1400 songs, but PS3 adds like 50 songs every month.

This Singstar is a nice karaoke game with a slick interface and actual music videos of the artists (which, really, is much nicer than watching generic animated characters perform the songs).

At the end of the day though, there's nothing that really separates this iteration of the series from previous Singstar or Karaoke Revolution games. The microphones included work well (though, they are wired, which is important to know...and you have to use the proprietary Singstar mics).

If you want a karaoke game for the PS3, this is as good a starter option as the original SingStar Bundle, though this volume has some boosted online capabilities (e.g., Remote Play functionality), if that matters to you. Really, if you are trying to decide between Volume 1 & 2, I'd look at the songl ists, as those differences are the only major differences.

One gripe that I have is with the online Singstore (where you can buy and download more songs for the game) The selection in the Singstore is decidedly European in taste (lots of songs that were hits in Europe or internationally; songs that were only big in the US are generally missing). Also, the US Singstore doesn't seem very well supported, with only infrequent updates (especially compared with the Rock Band equivalent). Nevertheless, we've bought several songs from the store, and we've enjoyed having the option to add to our collection (though this is a pretty standard feature in music games these days).

Overall, Singstar is a fun party game that makes for enjoyable karaoke and doesn't require keeping a pile of absurd plastic musical instruments in your living room.

Nice selection of songs on it. My 9 year old daughter loves it so that means its good to me.

The game is lots of fun and I love it. I actually bought it to use it with foreign language students. The store has mostly european songs minus russia. The song catalog is nowhere near the size of the european one, but it's pretty good. It also took us a bit of time to figure out where the purchased songs went. Apparently it's a 2 step process. first you buy then song then you need to go back and download it under the game menu for the online store, the one right before you start viewing the songs.

We had lots of fun playing this. My husband and I and our 2 girls, ages 10 and 3. I am very anxious to find more of the singstar games now. You sing along to a video of the song. This disc has a great variety from Mamas and Papas California Dreamin to Offspring Pretty Fly for a White Guy and some other newer songs I didn't know.

It's a fun game. But doesn't have the longevity. Not a HUGE selection of songs. Don't expect to be playing it for weeks. But it comes in handy at parties. VERY impressed by the delivery speed by amazon

Although I dont play this game all the time it is fun when you have a group of people together who arent intimidated about being a goofball. I personally do not sing well but get a kick out of belting out funky cold medina. The in game navigation is a bit difficult to find some functions (specifically the mic sync option to account for delay between mic and speakers) but this doesn't spoil the game. I know you can buy songs online but I do wish the game itself came with more tracks. Or even a voucher for 5 downloads of your choice. I just find it difficult after shelling out cash for a game to immediately pay more money to make it complete.

There is a bit of a lag in the mic output in my tv speaker. Does not have a very extensive song library to purchase online. I gave this to my wife as a gift and she loved it.

This game has some great songs. For instance, "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" by Aerosmith, oldie "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee, even "Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc but it is a tad touchy with your voice. You have to sound a bit like the original artists to get a really high score. But the fact remains it is a real blast!!! I guess some may not like the variety of styles the songs have but this to me is its appeal.
