SingStar: May 20th release in US

It's just not the same as Rock Band. That only tells me that you've never played singstar. I've played both extensively, and it's a totally different vibe each game has going on. Singstar is more fun at a drunk late night party when you've got eight people sharing two mikes crooning to Britney Spears' "hit me baby one more time" than a game of rockband would be. And rock band is great. You can sort of think of it as different classes of cars. Singstar is nice convertible for a fun cruise and Rock Band is the Hardass italian supercar. both fun, just different kinds of it.

at least i think so.


Also, I hope they get those bluetooth mics working soon. That was part of the thing that got me looking forward to this so much. even so, I'll just be the first to say FINALLY. they better not push it back again, or i might just cry.

Singstar = Karaoke(singing)

Rockband = Band (playing instrumnets/includes singing, but is not the focus)

For people only interested in Karaoke, Rockband is a waste ;)

We don't have Rockband here, so I can't comment on that, but Singstar we do have, and you have to get BOTH timing and pitch correct. Does Rockband do that?

Yes, tran, Rockband does do that. And Adolson, I think the major appeal is a different variety of songs. You don't have to sing all rock songs. I love Rockband, but I only actually know around 12 of those songs. Anyhow, I am looking forward to getting my hands on this game.

No Gears demo. EVAR

ha, anyone that has tried both and wants karaoke, knows to trust SingStar over Rock Band ANY day, not even a comparison

My wife will never touch rockband, but she plays SingStar all the time. She loves picking and choosing the songs she sings.

Singstar was and still is a revolutionary game. The first to do karaoke on consoles well.
