SingStar Amped (2007 Video Game) User Reviews

Booooooooooorrrrrrrrrring.

If i can make a Walkthrough of this game, i'd do it in one sentence. i'd write "Sing songs for points."

Singstar is nothing more than a game trying to cash in on guitar hero's fame an fortune by taking the same concept. its a PS2 karaoke machine and it's as boring as watching Jack Thompson whine about how a game made by Rockstar and take two is too violent.

The game boasts an OK soundtrack, but unless you've heard the song it's not that fun. at least with guitar hero you didn't need to know the song if you wanted to shred it. and another thing GH had was a career mode...in this game there is none.

Bottom line: unless you're a hardcore fan for hard rock, don't place your money down for this. you'll have more fun singing along to the radio.

5/10

"Singstar is nothing more than a game trying to cash in on guitar hero's fame an fortune by taking the same concept"

An interesting comment seeing as the first SingStar was released two years prior to the first Guitar Hero.

Guitar Hero - Release Date: 7th April 2006 SingStar - Release Date: 21st May 2004

I'd also perhaps do a search for SingStar on YouTube to assess the level of enjoyment people seem to have playing it.

Slightly bemused here as there is no 'hard rock' in this game.
