SingStar Groove

Back in May, amid all the Wii Fit hype, I decided to purchase a game with comparatively little fanfare: SingStar for the PS3. My fear was that I'd lose interest in the fitness game after only 30 minutes. Fortunately, that didn't happen with SingStar--I played for about an hour before I moved on to something else. Smart purchase, Eddie.

Fast forward (and rewind) to a birthday party last Friday night. Determined to get my money's worth, I decided to drag my hefty PS3--complete with SingStar, the Eye camera, two microphones, and 15 extra songs--to my cousin's house. Participants were shy at first, but something quickly changed the mood. The Eye's red light turned on mid-song, activating a picture-in-picture view of the singer's performance being recorded. For 30 seconds at a time, people suddenly became rock stars, ballerinas, dancers, or just plain fools who have never seen a camera before. It was all great fun. We ended up tearing through all the multiplayer modes, including our personal favorite: Pass-the-Mic. Seriously, if you're only playing this game solo, you're really missing out.

Anyway, my family is a wacky bunch, and I auto-generated a music video (using Pinnacle Studio software) of their performaces just to prove it. I threw the clip of the dancing Wookiee in there too because he's awesome. I think it turned out pretty good.

    Eddie, you need to do another with real voices! What is the fun if you have other music playing. The game is Singstar afterall

    Be careful what you wish for, Lee.
