The latter will also earn you one of the seven new trophies available for adding guitar capability to SingStar. The photos are taken at regular intervals during a song, or you can tell SingStar to take your picture, up to 5 times, by tilting the guitar. This was also a very welcomed feature, and very popular among my children and their friends. The photos, videos, and audio files can then be uploaded and shared on SingStar’s community portal to be viewed online by others. Here is a short trailer that shows what it would look like using the EyeToy: The video can then be partially edited, I believe 30 seconds worth, with special effects and tone changes. The PS Eye will show you as you play, as well as take photos, record your audio-feed, and even film a video of the whole session. An exception to the music video, is the ability to use a PlayStation Eye. This was a pleasant change in my opinion.

Instead of creating your own band members, or customizing an avatar to watch as you play, the SingStar series shows the actual music video for the song you are playing. I tried it myself on a few songs, and it was quite a challenge, even with the couple songs I know well. Unlike Guitar Hero or Rock Band, you don’t need to create or add two players to do both, but instead add yourself to both microphone and the guitar. If one is so inclined, you can play both the guitar and sing at the same time. This also opened the game up to allow four performers at one time, with two on microphones singing, and two on guitars. With the new addition of SingStar Guitar, they have added the ability to use any PS3-compatible guitar controller for 1 or 2 players. There is also a “Pass the Mic” mode, which can accommodate up to eight people, playing a series of rounds in two teams. The standard singing mode allows one or two people to sing together as a duet, or to sing individually, competing for the most points.
SingStar, in general, is a Karaoke game, for 1 or more players, with a variety of game modes. Including the newest SingStar Guitar, this PlayStation-exclusive series has had 32 different releases, many being exclusive to certain regions. SingStar has been around since 2004 in the UK and since 2007 in NA, where it got its start on the PS2. With that in mind, SingStar Guitar is basically just a new SingStar title with the standard “30 new songs”, that are all guitar compatible.
You will, however, need to purchase guitar compatible tracks, or guitar upgrades for songs already owned.
