Singstar U.S. Tracklist

eddie · 09-20-2006, 07:48 AM

And now for something that totally went under the radar. Remy has posted on his personal blog about a press release Sony sent out yesterday containing the tracklisting for the upcoming US PS2 release of Singstar. For those of you who haven't heard of the game yet, it's Sony's personal answer to Karaoke Revolution (or better Karaoke Stage) that has up until now has had little to no mention in the U.S. past the PS3 version being mentioned at Sony's E3 press conference this past may.

Fans of the Karaoke Revolution series might be surprised to learn that Singstar is regarded widely as a better game than Konami's outing. Thanks to stronger songlists, features like original music videos, and a very stylish interface it has appealed to the masses in the UK, and practically anyone else who's played it. The game is slated to come out on Nov. 14th at the standard $49.99 price tag for PS2 games, and will include 2 high quality microphones. Now for the songlist, which has been broken down by Remy to separate which european releases the songs original debuted in.

I think Konami is going to die from suing too many people.

Rocket Man? I wonder if the Bill Shatner version will be an unlockable?

I...Am...The...ROCKETMAN....Rocketman....rocketman

Celebrity Skin by Hole? I guess the game will be rated Teen at least. I don't think singing about hookers and sluts is something they would rate E.

Seeing Celebrity Skin made me chuckle. I mean, the game is made for parties. Drinking is associated with parties. Courtney Love is always drunk. It makes perfect logical sense.

Only if you're drunk, but maybe that was also part of your point?

karaoke revolution ripped this game off. konami needs to get their own ideas. it was bad enough they ripped off guitar hero.

Singstar is a really pleasant karaoke game

We
We have many mixs in Europe (Rock, 80's, NRJ Tour -a radio-)

I'm sure you will like this release.

Hahaha oh wow 5 good songs. :p

I'll never be happy with an all-license music game, though, so that's just me. Chances are I'll never play this, but it's great to see it having a stateside release.

Excuse me, but exactly what the hell did you expect from a SINGING/karaoke game.

Jesus Christ. The whole point is for them to put licensed content on there that people RECOGNIZE. Otherwise, it kind of ruins the whole point of the damn game.

Heh, excuse me, but did you miss my approval for the game's introduction into the mass-market?

And liscenced content people recognize? I propose Singstar All-Beatles Mix. Couldn't be that expensive to get; God knows that MJ could use the money right now. XD

Juub005 · 09-20-2006, 08:01 PM

Damn! Tons of good songs on this. I especially like the fact that Keane's on this songlist despite the band's relatively um radio-won't-play-us-for-whatever-reason status in the US.

Umm... well I'm not the most informed on Karaoke Revolution, and I have no liking for it. But where do you come from saying Konami needs to get their own ideas? They are the ones who make the ideas, RedOctane made Guitar Hero long after Guitar Freaks was a hit. Which was infact Konami's idea.

Sorry for being off topic but this ignorance buggs me.

So, advice. Dont say things and put anything down if you know nothing about what you are saying.

+ singstar is a rippoff from karaoke revolution, not kr from singstar.

anyway, i like singstar better :-)

It's true Konami made Guitar Freaks first, but they never made an official release in North America, all the machines here are off of the Japanese versions. They're going to be hard pressed to convince the american public that Guitar Freaks is not a Guitar Hero ripoff, but rather the game they originally made long ago.

As for going between Singstar and Kareoke Revolution, I've yet to see Singstar with my own eyes, but I didn't quite like Karaoke Revolution personally, it could've been made a lot better than it was. If Singstar took what was good about KR, and changed what was bad, then I see no problem with it. Personally, I didn't think KR ever fit into the Bemani brand anyway, seeing as it's developer was Harmonix.

There are American Guitar Freaks 1 machines. I have played on more than one of them.

But yeah, no later versions than that.
