Okay...SingStar Rocks. 30 songs you either love, hate or never heard of. I bought this game as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves it. I am okay with it. There are 30 songs and that's it...no chance to unlock new ones. While singing the songs on the game you will hear mostly the original song as opposed to your own voice, although watching the original videos as you sing is kind of cool. Beware of playback mode...you never sound as good as you thought you did! Overall this game is okay. I don't hate it, but I'm not in love with it either. Anyone wanting to play would have to be no older than 40-ish or otherwise would not know most of the songs. If you have a group of people who like to sing and recogize the songs on this version you will have fun. The party mode is good fun... several different options - pass the mic, battle, duet, etc. On New Year's Eve we spent several hours playing in party mode and had fun: Can you play this game a lot without getting bored? I doubt it. If you are shopping for this game on EBAY, look for a good price and don't forget to consider shipping and handling.Read full review
Note: I am reviewing the product that has been officially released in the US. This is NOT the UK product I am reviewing. Yes, you get to see the original music videos that accompany the songs. And yes, your voice gets recorded by the microphone so you can play it back. But that's pretty much all the plus sides to owning this horribly done game. The microphones are not compatible with other karaoke games AND the game isn't backwards compatible with other microphones. So there's no way around buying the entire package. The game comes with about 30 songs. You can't unlock anymore. Once you have sung them, you're done. The songs are also poorly chosen. Unlike Karaoke Revolution, the songs are either recognizable OR they aren't, based on what generation you came from. They are either SUPER OLD or SUPER NEW. So it isn't really a family fun game because the adults will get about 10 songs to choose from, the kids will get about 8, and everything else in the middle is stuff you've never heard before. The game gets old fast. Really, the only point is to raise your score. You can't unlock characters, new songs, new features, or anything. So you just keep singing the same song over and over and over again until you get better at it. It won't happen. The screen set up is really confusing and it becomes difficult to understand what notes you should sing, how fast you should sing, what parts of the song you did great on, where you should improve....etc. Basically, it's confusing and poorly organized. Bottom line, buy Karaoke Revolution. There's a reason why SingStar goes for cheap on Ebay and why so many people bid on Karaoke Revolution. It's just a better game in general. SingStar is a HUGE WASTE OF MONEY.Read full review
I was a little mislead by the title. However, there are still great songs on this one. Frankly, I haven't found a Singstar that doesn't have at least a few great songs on it. Although Abba hasn't come yet. Just rember, this is not a ROCK genre Singstar and I'm sure you'll enjoy it like all of the others. If you go to Singstar's website, you can read the track list before making a purchase. I highly recommend doing your research. I'm happy.
Singstar Rocks is the first Singstar that me and my family purchased from the many Singstar games and it is awesome!!! We all play together and have alot of fun together! It is great to do on family fun night as an alternative to playing board games etc... My daughters are 8 and 2 1/2 and although there is a compromisable word or two in a couple of songs that are mild she knows when to not say them or we avoid the song all together and my 2 1/2 year old loves to pretend she can read along as well! It is very much fun and will have your family laughing together in no time!!! I think it is also a great form of stress therapy and if there is tension in your home you need to get this to lighten things up a little! : )
Singstar Rocks for playstation 2 has been a really fun game. It comes with the 'Rocks' game that has good selection of songs, recent and oldies. They have the actual videos for most of the songs. The game also shows your singing pitch in real time along with a bar showing where the pitch should be. The lyrics are displayed at the bottom of the screen and highlighted when it is time to sing them. The game also allows you to playback your singing and alter it (echo, robot voice, etc.) It also came with two high quality microphones. I have since gotten the 'Pop' game which is just as good. Hopefully more games will be out soon. Recommend this game, we have had a lot of fun and laughs.
The whole idea is great. A lot of fun especially when you "battle" with friends and family. The mics work great. The only con is that it's hard to find one game where you know all the songs. I only know about 1/2 of them on Singstar Rocks well enough to karaoke them, but you can't please everyone. I've tried some of the other Singstars first and loved them, so I bought this one. Will buy more!
Love the karaoke feel and it's so much fun to play!

I think that singstar is far better than that karaoke revolution crap. On this game you get to see the actual music videos. You can also hear yourself afterwards with the playback feature. Another bonus is having the opportunity to sing duets and get graded seperately. There are only two singstar games available in the US right now but next week there will be two more which have great song listings. Singstar is the best!
fun fo the whole family

This game is great! My Husband and I play it for hours at a time. My two year old daughter even gets into it. She will hear us singing along and will come running into the room and tell us its her turn, to play. We even play this game during our "Game Nights" with our friends. No one even asks what game we are going to play we go straight to "singstar"! We all get into it. Even if you dont sing the best its a blast to play! I think that this game is good for any family or single person. Fun for the whole family really!
