Game Boyz writes: "By now my SingStar reviews are starting to look the same. This is mainly due to the fact not much has changed since the franchise first arrived on the scene a few years ago. Other than the set list SingStar games for the PlayStation 2 console have not strayed from the original formula which made the games so popular. The same holds true for SingStar Legends, Sony's latest instalment of the SingStar franchise on the PS2. This most recent release offers up a track list featuring some of the greatest artists of all time, but at the end of the day SingStar Legends is much of the 'same old'."
PS3Hype writes: 'Today Sony announced that the SingStar series has surpasses 20 million copies sold after 5 years! A year ago the SingStar series has sold 16 million copies. That means that in one year the franchise sold 4 million copies!'
What a spectacular achievement, especially since you guys have only released 27 titles in 5 years.
HOLY CRAP!that's a lot!
Also R&C surpassed 25 million few weeks ago
GT is at around 53 million
I think Buzz! is also pretty big
nice to see Sony got some big franchise,they are really important
It's weird, you don't think much of these franchises, see nothing about their sales, and yet...
I remember playing it in Best Buy and I thought it was a very good game. Unfortunately, people in my house don't like to sing openly...no matter what so there was no need to buy it.
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include MagnaCarta II, Tales of VS., SingStar Queen, and Hearts of Iron III.
On Magna Carta II, 411mania writes: "Even though the title indicates that this is the second MagnaCarta game, it is actually the third in the series, the first being for the PC and the second for the PS2. Unfortunately, Atlus' release of the PS2 sequel a few years ago wasn't very well received - some were impressed with the visuals and a lot of people liked the story, but many found the combat system off and most agreed that the voicework was bad. Luckily, MagnaCarta II features a whole new cast of characters, a new storyline, and a different fighting system, so knowledge of the previous games are not necessary."
Aww it's just the import version of Magna Carta II I thought they would have brought it out here already :(.
GamesRadar writes: "There's an overwhelming number of user videos on SingStar's SingStore and trying to watch them all would be stupidly impractical. So it kind of makes sense that, when browsing the karaoke clips, most people head stright for the videos that have earned top billing with a five-star rating."
