SingStar Country coming to PS2 October 28

by Justin McElroy { Sep 9th 2008 at 9:30AM }

When we see country singers Gretchen Wilson, Alan Jackson or (West Virginia's own) Brad Paisley on the packaging of something, we typically assume that it's a batter-dipped snack of some sort, like chicken fries or "Gretchen Wilson's Fried Crunch-sicles." But this fall, it might just be the new karaoke offering Singstar Country, coming to PS2s on October 28.

The game also lets you live out your fantasy of being Keith Urban, one of Montgomery Gentry or even America's Most Beloved Dullard, Kellie Pickler, who said, "I grew up wanting to be a country music singer and would sing other artists' songs, and now people are going to be singing my song in SingStar Country? That's cool!" Great job, Kelly! You nailed it.

about time man! you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get karaoke country revolution, now the wife won't be complaining so much for not having any country music :)

Really? I just gave CMT K-rev away to one of my friends the other day.

I'd love to see one of these games with some more classic and alt-country since pop-country, for the most part, is capital-A AWFUL.

@baby sea tuna

Yeah, pop-country has been awful since its inception... I curse thee Nashville, curse thee...

Now, if you were to add Wilco, Mojave 3 or 16 Horsepower to Singstar... bliss!

I honestly can't think of anything to say to this besides "I won't buy it but there will be about a zillion copies sold within a week of it hitting stores". Hell, I can't even think of a clever yet witty way to dis it.

Wait, no, I've got it: "My give a damn's busted."

Dirty @ Sep 9th 2008 10:01AM

I hate country music, but really this is a slam dunk, its going to sell a lot of copies.

MrSpaceCowboy @ Sep 9th 2008 10:06AM

Rural areas are finally getting the PS2?

That's great news!

FOXHOUND @ Sep 9th 2008 10:38AM

Coupled with the icon and screen name, the comment was priceless. +1

Wiinterfang @ Sep 9th 2008 10:11AM

Huh my comment doesn't appear, perhaps get deleted.

'Bout dang time. We've been waiting and waiting for a country version to come out. Why they're not releasing it as downloadable content on the PS3 is kinda confusing but we'll take what we can get. Now just hurry up with that Singstar PS3 patch that lets us use our PS2 versions and we'll be happy.

Kspraydad @ Sep 9th 2008 10:55AM

You could by the disc and still play it with the PS3 after patch...but I do agree, the SingStore has a huge need for country/new country.

WRE @ Sep 9th 2008 10:55AM

This is JUST the market that the PS3 appeals to!

WRE @ Sep 9th 2008 10:57AM

Oh, nevermind. It's early and I don't have my contacts in. : (

Dirty @ Sep 9th 2008 11:19AM

The title clearly says "ps2". Which is cheap enough for even those yokels.

rcf1105 @ Sep 9th 2008 12:09PM

Braid Paisley needs to be on Rock Band. For serious.

/Yes, I know it's not "Rock." Neither is Jimmy Buffet, but his songs are fun to play too.

Darkbhudda @ Sep 9th 2008 6:23PM

Agreed. For a game called Rock Band they have a lot of metal. Now I love metal, but I love Country too. And Brad Paisley would go down very well with my friends.

ChooChooCharlie @ Sep 9th 2008 9:12PM

I disagree. Jimmy Buffet may not be traditional rock, but country is just about the furthest from it. Country has absolutely no place in Rock Band / Guitar Hero.

I'd much rather Harmonix/Activision make a country centric game than try to mix the two genres.

Gapati @ Sep 9th 2008 12:15PM

C'mon, I thought we were supposed to be pushing the message that video games aren't only for kids....now this?

Cheryl @ Sep 13th 2008 1:00AM

I would love to know what the song list is for this game! I have Karaoke Revolution Country and I LOVE it! :o) Best game ever!!!!

Looks like alot of fun. Especially, kenny chesney, keith urban, montgomery gentry, lady antebellum.

If only this came out for xbox I would be a happy man. I might have to buy a used ps2 for this haha.
