SingStar PS3 marks the first true evolution for the series taking the franchise online. Having sold over 10 million copies since 2004 in just Europe & Australia alone it's without question the most popular music game in the world. For the price of a normal game you get SingStar alongside with two wired high quality microphones. Unlike most music based games, any particular skill isn't require to participate (one might also argue that being drunk is benefitial). Singing along, the goal is to try to hit the same notes as the corresponding song. What separates SingStar from the pack is that it's a karaoke focused party game that uses actual music videos as it's backdrop. The rest of Europe and USA will have to wait until early next year but in the mean time enjoy what the community brings up. On December 7th 07, a new era of party gaming will release in a few lucky countries. New songs are uploaded every two weeks (Fridays)
