There are so many big acts missing, and the fact that more than five artists have more than one song on the disc hinders it from being as varied as it could have been. And even though it is a welcome addition to the SingStar family, I am very disappointed in the lack of variety in the song selection. SingStar Country, like the titles that came before it, is essentially the same SingStar game youve been playing, but with a different genre-focused song list. B tings for me take multiple years) is to make a PS2 shooter/Singstar cab. But on the whole, the visuals here are as standard as they have ever been, which is definitely a good thing. This is the SAMCO Light Gun setup guide for PlayStation 2 emulation. While singing, youll be able to watch videos in the background, and these are all of reasonably good quality, with the exception of some of the older songs. The visuals in SingStar Country are all very standard and sport the series trademark menu style, with simple blue accents to let you know that you are playing the Country version. Pass the Mic mode, which is generally the most popular, is a party focused mode that allows up to eight people to alternate singing verses and choruses with the games two mic inputs. The Duet mode is a little friendlier and allows two players to sing together for a combined score. The Battle mode is the games main competitive mode, where you and a friend are able sing the same song simultaneously and see who is able to maintain perfect pitch the longest and garner the highest score at the end. As far as the multiplayer modes are concerned, the usual suspects are all here: Battle, Duet, and Pass the Mic. There is a main single-player mode where you can sing your best all alone, or you can play in one of the games signature multiplayer modes. If you dont sing the right note, however, the bar will remain empty, and the game will show the actual notes that you hit on-screen.As far as modes are concerned, this title does not deviate from the SingStar formula at all. The core singing mechanic features on-screen note bars that are filled with a blue color when you sing the correct note. There are 30 different tracks that are unlocked from the beginning, and you can hop right in and sing songs by yourself or with a group of up to eight friends. The tracks in this title definitely live up to the Legends title of the game, and chances are good that youll probably know all the words to these songs before you even reach for the mic.īut aside from the more difficult songs, pretty much everything else is SingStar Legends remains the same as it has always been. And if that still isnt enough, there are plenty of other legendary tracks from the likes of The Jackson 5, The Smiths, Ray Charles, and James Brown. Included in these songs are Patsy Clines country classic ∼razy, Dusty Springfields Son of a Preacher Man, and David Bowies Life on Mars. There are also some contemporary pop classics here as well, including Papa dont Preach by Madonna and Just a Friend by Biz Markie. In addition to Im Your Baby Tonight SingStar Legends has plenty more songs that fall into legendary status that reach back over fifty years. Because the songs here are generally known for their amazing vocals, you might expect a little bit of a challenge from this title, but those who are used to playing this title on hard might be in for a little surprise when they attempt Whitney Houstons Im Your Baby Tonight. Of course, there is no way to fail a song in the SingStar series, but it is a lot easier to get the shameful Tone Deaf on these more challenging songs. One of the biggest things that SingStar veterans will notice about Legends is the difficulty level of the game. But be warned, it isnt so easy to be a Legend! SingStar Legends, however, loses the niche genres and goes all-out by providing a very inclusive track list featuring major and iconic vocal performances from the past fifty years. But the very genre-focused SingStar releases this year have done a terrific job of catering to specific music fans. It has definitely established itself as a powerhouse in the realm of karaoke gaming, even in the face of would-be competitors like Lips on the horizon. SingStar has certainly been on a roll lately, with more than ten distinct titles coming out this year alone.
