Following its HD debut last November, the Sony London Studio developed game returns, this time called Vol. 2, with 30 new songs, a harmony feature and the ability to access SingStar features remotely with the PSP. Question is, is it worth forking out £20 if you've already got the first game?
If you're not hooked up to the internet through your PS3 then the answer is undoubtedly yes, for nothing more than new tracks. Highlights include Shakespears Sister's Stay, Paul McCartney & the Frog Chorus' We all Stand Together and Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. Oh wait, Don't Stop Me Know isn't on the disc, despite it being the song you see unattainably attractive people playing when you boot up the disc. We were disappointed by this. A little."

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."
