You’re a Star, So Act Like One With SingStar, Exclusively on PlayStation 2

February 13 , 2004 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced SingStar, an innovative new title that invites players to step into the spotlight and exercise their vocal chords. Developed by Sony London, the studio responsible for EyeToy, SingStar offers an engaging, social experience that encourages even the most reticent singer to unleash their inner rock star. SingStar’s groundbreaking technology analyses the player’s vocal skills, based on their pitch, tone and timing as they sing into the USB microphone, and provides feedback based on how well or badly they have sung. 

SingStar’s expansive track list features a wide variety of well-known songs from world-class artists. Each track is the artist’s original recording and SingStar also includes the original music video for many of the songs.

Pass the Mic is the ultimate party game, encouraging duets and team competitions; and Star Maker allows budding stars to follow their dream from singing in the bedroom to performing in a sell-out concert for their adoring fans.  

SingStar comes with two microphones that plug into PlayStation 2 via a USB adapter, offering an instant multi-play experience. In addition, the game is EyeToy compatible, allowing players to actually see themselves singing within the game. SingStar will be available this summer, exclusively on PlayStation 2.
