Editorial Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
The SingStar karaoke juggernaut rumbles on with a particularly generous selection of 30 new songs featuring music legends from Elton John to Nirvana and Tina Turner to Johnny Cash.

The lowdown:
After the rather niche Singstar Rocks and SingStar Anthems this latest expansion has a much broader song selection. The rather loose theme is that all the songs are by music legends, rather than one hit wonders, and you’ve got the likes of Paranoid by Black Sabbath, Life on Mars by David Bowie and Ring of Fire by Jonny Cash. As usual all the songs include the original music video (if they had one), giving visual accompaniment to classics such as The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston, Roxanne by The Police and Rocket Man by Elton John. Of course whether you’ll still love all these golden oldies after they’ve been desecrated by a drunken SingStar session is another thing.

Most exciting moment:
The eight player, pass the microphone mode is still the best way to play SingStar and there aren’t really any new game modes here to beat it. There is a new feature that lets you compare your crooning with that of the real artist though, even if the game does seem to be rather kind in most of its comparisons.

Since you ask:
SingStar has already been confirmed as appearing on the PlayStation 3, in fact it’s was one of the first games to be demoed using the online shop, where you can download individual songs you want instead of having to buy whole expansions like this.

The bottom line:
One of the best SingStar expansions, with at least a few songs for everyone.-HARRISON DENT

Another Winner!!!!5
I really enjoyed playing Singstar Legends. The songs on it are really good, I especially like 'Park Life' and 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Probably not as good as the 80's one but I would still recommend it as one of the better Singstars to buy. A big thumbs up!

Back on top form, SingStar!5
Fans of the SingStar series will know just how much fun these games are, but its fair to say that Anthems was more than a little disappointing - only 20 tracks and very few of them living up to the 'anthems' tag. But with Legends, they've got it spot on. With classics like Teen Spirit, Life on Mars, Sympathy for the Devil and Ring of Fire, SingStar is back on top form. I just wonder where they go from here - SingStar Glamrocks? SingStar 60's? I can't wait!
