SingStar 80's

Sony's latest SingStar doesn't add any frills to the package, but it does have a delightful mix of '80s pop and rock classics.

"SingStar '80s is an excellent example of how Sony's karaoke series can attract an audience of all ages. Its timeless hits are likely to be appreciated by casual gamers, as well as non-gaming passerby, and the original videos make the whole experience even more appealing."

"The technology behind Singstar needs to improve; charging $49.95 for what is essentially a cd is fairly expensive. However, the game is still incredibly fun and addictive in multiplayer, plus the songs are some of the best yet."

"The style and presentation is slick, stylish and minimal, sporting a retro '80s look, and the game has little by way of disruptive loading. Menus are easy to navigate (although you will need the standard PS2 controller for this) and the game has a fair few options, given the comparative limitations of the karaoke genre."
