SINGSTAR PS3 MICROPHONES SOFTWARE
The biggest surprise when starting the game proper has to be the new voice recognition capability – instead of having to connect a regular controller to navigate all the menus, the new Pop Edition software allows players to use voice control to zip through the menus and, best of all, the voice recognition is first class. The new batch of SingStar games includes another one – Queen this time – and really, does it ever get old yelling ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ at the top of your lungs into a microphone? No, no it doesn’t, is the answer, even if it does always immediately bring Wayne’s World to mind. Since then, there have been over a dozen SingStar releases, focusing on various genres or even single bands, like with the recent SingStar Abba release. SingStar has been a phenomenal success for Sony, with over 16 million units sold worldwide since its original launch on the PlayStation 2 back in 2004. There’s a small receiver unit to connect to your console by USB, but it’s designed sympathetically enough to match your PS3 console and sits happily atop the unit shining its cute little green light at you. Stick the batteries in the units, push the switch all the way up and you’re good to go.
Unlike their competition, the funky Lips microphones from Microsoft that connect to your Xbox 360 only when they feel like connecting and don’t give clear indication when they do eventually find your console, the smart SingStar wireless microphones are a dream to set up. Let’s just say right out of the gate – right out of the box, in this case, and what a lovely presentation box it is – that the new SingStar microphones from Sony are superb.
