Want to be a Popstar? If your answer is yes, then the Playstation 2 Video Game Singstar is for you and you would finally have the opportunity to emulate your pop star hero. This video game carries a range of titles from Legends and Anthems.

SingStar was created to take karaoke to the next level. The pub has given people the opportunity to becomes legends due to their renditions of Robbie’s ‘Angels’, or Whitney’s ‘ I will always love you.

But with the Playstation 2 Video Game Singstar you will be challenge to try something different, with levels of difficulty ranging from ‘easy’ where even the tone deaf score points, to ‘hard’ where you need to be note perfect. You can choose whether to sing a duet where two players sing alternate parts and the best player at the end wins, or the straight forward sing off.

This Playstation 2 Video Game comes complete with videos and footage along with on screen lyrics so if you can sing ‘Come On Eileen’ whilst trying not to laugh at Dexy’s Midnight Runners in their dungarees, and not being struck utterly speechless at how different the actual words are to those you used to sing at family parties, you’ll be doing well.

All the games can be bought with the microphones and adapter or without, though once you’ve got two mics, you can just buy the games from that point onwards. Karaoke may be passé but having played this game, I can attest that it is addictive and I’m not surprised it is turning into the runaway PS2 success of the year. Go on, take the mic – you know you want to!!

Guitar Hero is a music game developed for the Playstation 2 Video Game console. Previously its developer had created Frequency and Amplitude. All of these games are music based games where you have to button or strum your way through a song. Frequency which was created first is rated higher that the sequel Amplitude. Even though Amplitude has a better shared multiplayer view, the song weren’t so good and feeling of actually playing the music was decrease.

The tradition of the previous game is carried on in Guitar Hero, and it is an improvement over Amplitude. I has a guitar controller, which is a half-size plastic guitar with five coloured buttons on the neck. You “strum” a two inch long lever, and the guitar even includes a bendy bar.

The controller gives the feel like Amplitude or Frequency while it is being used, except that you sometimes have to hold down the notes over time, which wasn’t a feature in the previous games. The ability to use the joystick is handy when you are in the two player mode against a friend and you cannot afford to buy a second guitar.
You may ask yourself how do I actually play a song? Easy to learn, difficult to master.

The coloured buttons on the neck correspond to coloured dots on the moving score of the song. As the score approaches you, and as coloured dots approach and cross a line right in front of you, you have to have the correct coloured button held down as you strum the guitar. the note will then change to a different one, so you will have to change your fingering before your next strum.

It is easier than it sounds. You can check the IGN website for Guitar Hero videos.This Playstation 2 Video Game has excellent songs, and offer great multiplayer actions. You can use the multiplayer option with a controller or for better enjoyment why not get another guitar . If you love music and you have a Playstation 2 Video Game console why not purchase this game and have a blast.

Problems? Yes, a few. My biggest complaint (though not that big in absolute terms – this is a great game) is that the mapping of music tracks to game tracks isn’t as fun as many of the tracks in Frequency and Amplitude were. In those game you’d really get into a groove and really enjoy how the tracks were arranged by the developers.

Guitar Hero doesn’t have quite the same creativity when it came to laying down the tracks. As well, the game ramps up in difficulty way too fast. The hardest setting is clearly impossible for everyone without a genetically enhanced metabolism. (This was also a problem with Frequency and Amplitude.)

Does this game has any problems? Yes it does have a few. The mapping of the music tracks to the game tracks is not as good as in Frequency or Amplitude. Those games really got you in the groove because of how the tracks were arranged by the developers. Guitar Hero do not have the same creativity with the tracks.The hardest setting is clearly impossible for everyone without a genetically enhanced metabolism. Which was a problem with Frequency and Amplitude.However do not get distracted by these hiccups, because otherwise this a Playstation 2 Video Game which offers lots of fun.
