SingStar - New Screens & Pop Queens

Any old excuse to get the girls from S Club 7 up on the site at Kikizo. Today - five new screens from Sony's SingStar.

Here are some new SingStar screens. Expect to hear a lot more on this game very soon.

Don't stop movin, and all that.

Developed by Sony London, the studio responsible for EyeToy, SingStar offers an engaging, social experience that encourages even the most reticent singer to unleash their inner rock star.

The game hasn't been announced for the United States yet, but considering EyeToy has successfully launched both in the States and Japan, it stands a very good chance. And, since local European territories get their own modified music tracks in the game, the US is likely to get an additional round of its own more nationally recognised talent.

SingStar's technology analyses the player's vocal skills, based on their pitch, tone and timing as they sing into the USB microphone, and provides feedback based on how well or how badly they have sung.

SingStar's expansive track list features a wide variety of well-known songs from world-class artists. Each track is the artist's original recording and SingStar also includes the original music video for many of the songs.

SingStar comes with two microphones that plug into PlayStation 2 via a USB adapter, offering an instant multi-play experience. In addition, the game is EyeToy compatible, allowing players to actually see themselves singing within the game. SingStar will be available this summer, exclusively on PlayStation 2.
