SingStar '90s for PlayStation 2

Video Games. Sony Europe's SingStar series returns to North American PS2s, turning the console into a karaoke machine stocked with hit songs from the decade that saw the country embrace the sing-it-yourself trend in the first place. In SingStar games, players sing along with famous songs into a microphone, as a timing graphic moves across the screen and the lyrics appear below. Software analyzes their voices to judge their accuracy in timing and pitch. The software allows for solo performances as well as duets, when two microphones are connected. The selection of songs and styles is nearly as varied as the Top 40 charts of the era; highlights include the B-52's "Love Shack," Baby Got Back" from Sir Mix A Lot, and "Wannabe" from the Spice Girls, as well as selections from All Saints, M.C. Hammer, Nirvana, Radiohead, R.E.M., and Seal. A total of 30 songs are available, each with its original music video. Players with an EyeToy (or other USB camera) can choose to display themselves on screen instead. ~ T.J.
