How different things might be if she'd never quit EasyJet. The background music's inoffensive, the sort of thing you won't mind waking up to at half-past five in the morning with an ashtray on your face, wondering why your life isn't like Nathan and Tobias's.
There's a nice lifestyle intro where some lifestyle people do lifestyle shouting over pop music, and some stylish lifestyle menu screens. You can tell that just by the placeholder names they've chosen for the high scores table (Nathan and Tobias, Dom and Sergio).
#Singstar ps2 on ps3 series
Up to eight players can play Pass the Mic, a team game involving a series of different challenges. You can sing solo, duet or battle with another player. You can watch the original music videos while you sing or, if you've got a PlayStation Eye, yourself. You sing into microphones (the game works with the old PS2 mics, but wireless ones are on the way) and score points based on pitch and timing. Here comes the first next-gen instalment, simply titled SingStar PS3. More than 10 million copies have since been shipped around the globe and, we'd wager, more than 10 million evenings have ended in hilarity rather than disaster. Sony recognised this several years ago and created the SingStar series for PS2.
Something magical happens when you combine pop records, shouting, showing off and public humiliation. Or that New Year's Eve party where the host nearly kicked out one guest who refused to observe a two minute silence, opting to pay his respects by repeatedly shouting "Is there any more cava?" from the bottom of the garden.īoth evenings could have gone horribly wrong but were saved by the healing, unifying power of karaoke. Such as the stag-do we recall which, due to an email-related error, was attended only by the groom, the best man, a homosexual gentleman and a woman. Karaoke can turn the bleakest of evenings around.
