The game is less challenge orientated than more recent offerings that have liberally "borrowed" the formula from SingStar, with failure being irrelevant. The punishing collapse of your efforts in Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Band is nowhere to be seen here, once again removing barriers that some may feel detract from the otherwise effortless fun to be had from simply enjoying singing.
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."
My wife, daughter and I have four of them.

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."
