As ever, the appeal of this latest SingStar depends on your feelings towards the track list. The highlights of the 30-song line-up? Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers, Sam Sparro and Kings of Leon, plus many more bands bludgeoned into your ears by Radio 1. There are big acts, but to those of us waiting for SingStar: Math Rock Edition, the endless stream of pop is getting a bit much.
The new wireless mics %26ndash; available separately or in a bundle %26ndash; can, via voice recognition, be used to select tracks or navigate Singstore. Trophies have also been introduced. The most intriguing ones, and those less at odds with the game%26rsquo;s casual vibe, have a community focus, rewarding players for uploading clips, rating others and so on.However, with voice control and Trophies soon available as a free update to the original game, there are few reasons for fans to pick this up.
