The single-player mode is fairly simple and straightforward, but in multi-player mode SingStar strikes gold. Hit the right notes for the right amount of time, and you'll get high scores, which in career mode can then unlock virtual clubs to sing at and more songs, too. Also, you'll find on-screen indicators as to what pitch you need to be singing at, and it's here that the game assesses you. It comes bundled with two surprisingly good-quality microphones, and the idea is that, in true karaoke style, songs with predominantly official backing videos appear on your screen and you have to sing the right words at the right time. It's a game that tests you on your singing ability-or lack of-and serves up some rollicking entertainment while it does so. Looking for one of the best multi-player party games on the PlayStation 2? You've just found it, and it's called SingStar. In addition, the game is EyeToy compatible, allowing players to actually see themselves singing within the game.


SingStar comes with two microphones that plug into PlayStation 2 via a USB adapter, offering an instant multi-play experience. Pass the Mic is the ultimate party game, encouraging duets and team competitions and Star Maker allows budding stars to follow their dream from singing in the bedroom to performing in a sold-out concert for their adoring fans.

Sing Mode encourages players to simply pick up the mic and start singing, either alone or battling against a mate. SingStar features three gameplay modes that allow for between one and eight players to join in together. Each track is the artist's original recording and SingStar also includes the original music video for many of the songs. SingStar 's expansive track list (see below for details) features a wide variety of well-known songs from world-class artists. Its groundbreaking technology analyses the player's vocal skills, based on their pitch, tone and timing as they sing into the USB microphone (two are included), and provides feedback based on how well or badly they have sung. I p.SingStar encourages even the most reticent singer to unleash their inner rock star. I was very impressed that she took the time to call me personally, go through the process of elimination on the system, determined it must be a faulty system and I just received my new system in the mail. When I emailed customer service she quickly responded and immediately started working with me to make it right so my daughter could have her present by Christmas and be in working order. Because of the customer service (Sarah) at Singtrix my rating is 5 stars.
#Singstar ps2 with microphones update
Sent an email tonight about the issue to customer service at Singtrix.I’ll update my review once I see what happens, as I’m a fan on Singtrix, think it’s very cool and would love to rate this 5 stars!UPDATE:Wow! I have to say that at first I was frustrated but hopeful when I wrote the first review and my initial rating was 2 stars. The HIT button on the mic works when you press it but absolutely NO sound when you speak into the mic, and all volumes are per recommendation. The actual Singtrix box turns on, so it works. Speaker makes a hum when you are initially plugging it in which is normal, so I know the speaker works. Power cord arrived and tonight I plugged everything up per the directions and nothing coming from the microphone.

I went ahead and ordered a power cord off retrolio. Sarah at Singtrix immediately put in an order for me. We received this with no power cord, contacted customer service they initially replied quickly and said they would send one if I send an invoice proving purchase, so I did.
