TSA: "We've all been there at some point; a few close friends, a PlayStation and a copy of SingStar. First launched in 2004, SingStar has gone on to be a massive commercial success and a cultural phenomenon, so you would assume that the latest version of SingStar, sub-titled "Pop Edition" (referred to hereafter as "Pop"), doesn't require a review; that it's just another track pack add-on that should be available to download from the SingStore."
PushSquare: "SingStar's a bit like the gift that keeps giving. For years Sony's karaoke platform has evolved - delivering iteration upon iteration to its core, yet somewhat niche, fanbase. And Sony's showing no sign of stopping that support with the addition of Vibrato. The new feature will allow you to pull your best Leona Lewis and actually score points for fluctuating held notes, rather than being penalised - something which occurs in Rock Band and Guitar Hero should you stray from the predetermined note line."

It was earlier today that Sony revealed that karaoke classic SingStar was due to receive an Online Battle mode, due to be introduced in an update available in June.
However those that love to sing to their hearts content can gain access to the new mode prior to this, by applying to participate in the Beta.

In addition, there's a couple of standalone tracks for play such as the long awaited inclusion of "I Would Do Anything For Love" by Meat Loaf officially making my personal collection complete."
