PSX Extreme: SingStar Legends Review

PSX Extreme writes: "Despite hitting it big on the PlayStation 3 already, the SingStar franchise will continue to live on the PS2 for quite sometime. In fact, there’s no doubt in my mind that there are still a number of SingStar games to look forward to following the release of SingStar Legends and Country. Of course this should come as no surprise, as the rhythm genre is one of the fastest growing genres in videogaming today, largely thanks to games like Guitar Hero and Singstar. And while the aforementioned two made the appeal of rhythm games much more mainstream, they’re far from being the pioneers of it all.

Singstar’s success comes with good reason too, as Karaoke Revolution often uses poorly done covers of songs, as opposed to licensing the actual tune. Sony’s Singstar is so popular in Europe that its spawned close to 20 titles in a brief four years! Just about half of those releases have arrived in the US, but as I mentioned earlier, things are changing; more and more SingStar games are on their way here. The PlayStation 3’s SingStar Vol. 2 and PS2’s SingStar Pop Vol. 2 are the most recent games American gamers have been given, and it features a wave of tracks, many good, many I’d prefer to have never heard again. Here we have the PlayStation 2’s SingStar Legends, and as you can tell, this one’s all about the classics."
