If the game has a crippling flaw, it's that 30 songs is pretty lousy as a track count. It comes in handy when you play through such iconic rap songs as "Loser" by Beck and "Epic" from Faith No More. Here, the game seems to measure volume instead of pitch to judge your score. The one notable in-game difference between Singstar singing and Rock Band singing is that, for certain songs, a "Rap Meter" will appear, wherein you are expected to yell parts of the songs. If this specialized Singstar Microphone is supposed to be more accurate than the Rock Band mic, I couldn't tell. ![]() Just like Rock Band, the game measures pitch, so you can just as effectively hum your way through songs if you care more about scores than having a good time, you fool. You sing, trying to match your voice's pitch with the blue pitch-meter thingy on the board while stumbling through the lyrics. So here I am, reviewing a game I never wanted and already laying out my negative bias to the world. Thus I had to purchase the official Sony-approved Singstar microphone, which came bundled with regular Playstation 3 Singstar. So I procured a copy from my online rental service, only to find that ordinary USB and Bluetooth microphones, including the Rock Band mic, are incompatible. As I've explained many times over in the past, everybody knows the words to Bohemian Rhapsody, even if they think they don't know them. Singstar: Queen piqued my interest in this series. I've only known one Singstarian in the past and she was from the Land Down Under, so I dismissed this as an international fad in a country known for backwards delays withholding them from the true thrill of the Rock Band party. People from far and wide gather in groups to huddle around their Playstation to sing, dance, remember that they're not scored on dancing and get back to singing. But apparently, there are Singstar parties happening all around the nation.
