''When Sony's Singstar juggernaut made the transition to PS3 – and a most successful one at that, it was only a matter of time before a sequel appeared on the scene.
SingStar Vol. 2 employs the same format and technology as previous titles, with players required to sing along to a track, matching both pitch and timing, while a music video plays onscreen. A number of single and multiplayer options enable you to sing co-operatively or competitively, either alone or with friends.
Whilst it is essentially just an edgier, glammed-up version of the PS2 titles, the PS3 SingStar experience does offer social gaming fans more features and flexibility than its previous incarnation – plus the option to personalise your playlist with downloadable tracks from the online SingStore. SingStar Vol. 2 even boasts a brand new duet feature!''

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.

Now that I got a PlayStation 3 for Christmas, however, I was able to dive straight into the SingStar pool head first! Before, I gave Lips good reviews because I didn't really have that much to compare it to. But now that I've had a chance to play both games, I thought it might be interesting to pit them against each other and see who comes out on top."
BeefJack writes: "A 'Party Picks' Track Pack is set to hit for SingStar to round off the New Year featuring such numbers as "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate. 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."
