    the game looks awesome,
    the name is good too, but unfortunately it's a little girlish and gay....!
    soundtrack is good too,
    I'm definitely down with this and GH: World Tour.
    Let there be music....

    Pretty good setlist, but won't people lose their voice singing Take on Me?

    Getting in the (karoke) game a little late, arn't they? And at $70, a little expensive.

    Trouble is I have Singstar on my PS3 and have spent over £100 on downloaded songs (thanks to the wife), do I want or need another singing game?

    Duran Duran did more songs than Hungry Like The Wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do they always put this God-forsaken song on every karaoke game????

    "Importing DRM-free music? Doesn't that promote even more of downloading mp3 music files, which is what the music industry is trying to fight?"

    no because both microsoft and apple sell DRM-free music with there respected programs.

    on another note the tracklist isnt amazing but being able to upload my songs is a great idea. i love singstar but i refused to buy songs i already own.

    Alright songs... just sucks that so many of them are already in Rock Band.

    Considering a purchase just for the mics.

    I wish they changed the name of the game.

    The tracklist looks sweet and if I had a 360, I would probably be buying this (even if there is "no failing")

    Meh, no metal! I never buy singstar or guitar hero games cos i can't stand the music.

    BTW, who else clicked on this link because of what Gamespot put on the heading.

    I liked the idea of being able to import your own songs, but it won't go to the internet and download lyrics? That's just stupid

    They need some opera songs on here. Then I would buy it.

    If anyone's curious, "Kiss mode has two singers performing gestures together. When duets are performed well, the on-screen avatars will get closer and closer until they meet in the middle to share a kiss." (Joystiq) well, isn't that adorable

    I know my fiancee can't wait for this game - a great list of tracks to start with.

    Lovin' the Johnny Cash

    who cares about the tracklist, if you got your own music use that.

  • TWOC2689

    Obviouslly they arn't aiming for a Guitar Hero Audience. For a song list without a Sony BGM song it is impresive. I wonder how it is going to do in the US.

  • david_critic

    Posted Oct 22, 2008 12:00 pm GMT

    Not a bad list of songs. Could be better (by that I mean more 80's, lol).

  • wiifan001

    Posted Oct 22, 2008 11:41 am GMT

    I don't like the list of songs. Hey, at least they don't have Miley Cyrus.

  • Sacred-Snow

    Posted Oct 22, 2008 11:30 am GMT

    agreed.

  • Flame_Killa

    Posted Oct 22, 2008 11:28 am GMT

    Wow. That's not half bad.

  • o0_L0st_B0y_0o

    Posted Oct 22, 2008 11:19 am GMT

    hmm not a bad tracklist seems like they over sold the freestyle bit though...and i wonder who exactly has expressed interest in working with a mic? cos unlike the balance board theres not much u can do with a mic.

    meh seems like over selling executive speal. Talk that says its basically singstar with a (what im sure microsoft fans have called gimmick* tilt feature and a kareoke mode
