It's slicker, quicker and more attractive than a traditional Rock Band or Guitar Hero release, but then that's always been in SingStar's nature. SingStar Guitar is very simple and is aimed at a very specific audience. These can then be uploaded and shared in the game's community portal. All the typical SingStar options are also on offer, so if you've got a PlayStation Eye the game will film you, take photos and record your audio-feed. SingStar Guitar make it easy to quickly set-up a game in which you sing and play guitar, so if you feel yourself somewhat of a budding singer-songwriter, the game is perfect. It's just basic note highways and strumming. There's no star-power or combo mechanics. Obviously the entirety of SingStar Guitar's set-list is designed to use the guitar peripheral. Guitars are supported alongside the regular SingStar 5.00 patch, but you'll have to pick up some DLC which supports the new feature. There's actually no need to own the SingStar Guitar disc. Any piece of hardware will suit - Rock Band or Guitar Hero - so if you're into these type of games, you'll probably be covered. The twist with SingStar Guitar is that there's a note-lane running down the screen when you've got a guitar plugged in. Watching The Veronicas look sultry while we waggle the strum-bar up and down? Hot. Obviously the cool thing about SingStar is that you get the actual music video in the background of the game during gameplay. The track-list is fine it skews more towards the pop-scale of things, which actually suits us. There's also that Stereophonics track where they crash into a lake in the music video. There are thirty songs included on the disc ranging from fantastic oldies from The Cure and David Bowie, to some more modern tracks from The Veronicas and Ladyhawke.

Get this, SingStar Guitar is a lot like SingStar, just with guitar.ĭid we just blow your mind? On the surface, it's a very familiar package. Someone, somewhere is probably planning on writing an epistle about SingStar Guitar. As such, if you like SingStar - and you've got a couple of Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitars lying around - you'll probably enjoy SingStar Guitar.
