Today Sony announced the release of SingStar Pop, the latest installment in the SingStar franchise, available for the PlayStation 2. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's London Studio, SingStar Pop is the follow-up to SingStar Rocks! The series is described as an "interactive singing experience" that lets you supply the voice for popular recordings.
Select from 30 hit songs to sing along to and watch the music video on screen. Available as a standalone disc or packaged with two USB microphones, SingStar Pop features songs from Destiny's Child, A-Ha, U2, James Blunt, Franz Ferdinand, Whitney Houston, and more. If players own both SingStar games they can access the song list from Rocks! while playing Pop (and vice versa).
PS3Hype writes: 'Today Sony announced that the SingStar series has surpasses 20 million copies sold after 5 years! A year ago the SingStar series has sold 16 million copies. That means that in one year the franchise sold 4 million copies!'
What a spectacular achievement, especially since you guys have only released 27 titles in 5 years.
Wow what a fanboyish comment go take them somewhere else please. This is great news for them and shows its a popular franchise.
HOLY CRAP!that's a lot!
Also R&C surpassed 25 million few weeks ago
GT is at around 53 million
I think Buzz! is also pretty big
nice to see Sony got some big franchise,they are really important
It's weird, you don't think much of these franchises, see nothing about their sales, and yet...
I remember playing it in Best Buy and I thought it was a very good game. Unfortunately, people in my house don't like to sing openly...no matter what so there was no need to buy it.
yeah two black dudes singing a Britney spears song will not work
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include MagnaCarta II, Tales of VS., SingStar Queen, and Hearts of Iron III.
On Magna Carta II, 411mania writes: "Even though the title indicates that this is the second MagnaCarta game, it is actually the third in the series, the first being for the PC and the second for the PS2. Unfortunately, Atlus' release of the PS2 sequel a few years ago wasn't very well received - some were impressed with the visuals and a lot of people liked the story, but many found the combat system off and most agreed that the voicework was bad. Luckily, MagnaCarta II features a whole new cast of characters, a new storyline, and a different fighting system, so knowledge of the previous games are not necessary."
Aww it's just the import version of Magna Carta II I thought they would have brought it out here already :(.
GamesRadar writes: "There's an overwhelming number of user videos on SingStar's SingStore and trying to watch them all would be stupidly impractical. So it kind of makes sense that, when browsing the karaoke clips, most people head stright for the videos that have earned top billing with a five-star rating."
