 Indie Power March 3, 2008
This game like the many others in its series is amazing. Fun to play before going out clubbing / pubbing / partying or a good way to get people going and out of their shells at tense gatherings when people don't know eachother :o). This version of the classic game is aimed at the late teens to 30's wannabe rock grunge boys (me) and girls who wanna play the guitar. Full of excellent indie rock classics such as "Come as you are" by Nivarna, "Favourite Game" by The Cardigans and "Don't stop me now" by Queen. Also got the gutsy girl singers that make u wanna party like Gwen Stefani and KT Tunstall.
I really would advise this to all the guys and girls out there who love playing singstar but get fed up of the cr**py r+b cheesy pop and ballad filler on the other disks and want big rocky rythmic songs.
Best song to sing - "Somebody told me" by the Killers and "1985" by Bowling for Soup
So next time there is an akward silence at a party... "Singstar anyone????...."
 What bucket load of great tunes! January 11, 2008
Firstly, this is agreat game to bring people together, crack open a few tinnies or bottles and have a great laugh. It doesn't matter if you can sing or not - just have fun.
Secondly, for those that bemoan about the track listing, there are some things to remember here.
1. This isn't MOR Rock or Legends Rock or Old School Rock or Heavy Rock or even Metal Rock, it's simply Rocks! and that covers a wide, wide market. I think this is aimed at the more teenage to early twenties market (even though I'm 39!). This is why it's mainly Indie/Alternative songs with a few older ones thrown in for good measure.
If you want boring MOR stuff go for Rock Ballads or if you want older songs go for 80's (which by the way DOES NOT include anything by Echo & The Bunnymen, U2, Big Country, The Alarm, New Order, The Smiths, The Teardrop Explodes etc etc)
This is a great crop of songs that are not mainstream (in fact I could quite do without Queen or The Scorpions being there!), but, to any person who likes this kind of music, are instantly recognisable.
2. I'm guessing that all the music featured on all the different SingStars are owned by Sony/BMG Music and they probably don't have or won't pay the rights to feature other songs.
I love the songs on here and it makes a nice change from the MOR Rock, Ballad Rock, R&B, Rap, Pop or the Cheesy charty stuff that's constantly rammed down our throats. Well done to the track list chooser!
Waking up the neighbours.... December 10, 2007
This "game" has not done a lot for my neighbourly relations but it's worth it! I bought it on impulse a few months ago and am really glad I did. It has a brilliant and varied choice of songs, old and new with a few duffies but the good and the great (Stones, Nirvana, Queen, the Cardigans, Stereophonics, Snow Patrol etc etc ) more than make up for it. Get your friends and family round, open a few cans and let rip! This version opened my (and my daughter, who is 11) eyes to a few bands we didn't know and we're glad it did!
The game is well presented, easy to use and the multi-player battles are varied and fun. Rig it up with your eye-toy and you can record yourself in action with 80's TOTP-style special effects which add to the fun. The mics are very good quality and of course, you only need to buy the games next time which are pretty good value.
This is our first and favourite Singstar, tho I really like Legends also mainly because of "Life on Mars" and "Imagine". I'm in my 40s in case you couldn't guess!
This rocks
Immense October 3, 2007
This is the best Singstar out. If you don't know Indie/Rock music then why buy it?! Some people are so stupid. If you know most of these songs u'll love this game, I have quite a few singstars and this is the best one!
Brilliant selection of songs, everyone is fun to sing
Tremendously Good Fun October 16, 2006

This, along with the other titles in the Singstar series, is a great game. Reading the other reviews, you can see that most of the poor ratings are complaining about the selection of songs - well if you're on Amazon already, there's a song list readily available, and there is also one on the back of the case, so it seems pointless to buy a game knowing what songs are on it, and then complain afterwards - for those unfamiliar with the Singstar game engine, then this is a solid introduction, with a good variety in the difficulty of songs; for those familiar, then it just comes down to whether you like the songs themselves. But for people (like me) who enjoy this sort of music, it's a solid addition to the series, highly recommended.
