Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has today released new information on SingStar for the PlayStation 2, which was previously known simply as Sing. SCEE had originally planned to release three versions of the game that covered the pop, urban, and classic music genres, but it has now decided that it will initially release only a single title.

　　Speaking with an SCEE representative today, we were told that SingStar will be bundled with two USB microphones (one red and one blue) and marketed in a similar way to the EyeToy camera. It's also been revealed today that SingStar will be EyeToy-compatible, thus allowing players to see themselves singing within the game.

　　The track listings for SingStar will differ for each territory, and discs covering other genres of music will be released in the future if the original title proves to be popular. The track listing for the UK version of the game is as follows:

　　Liberty X - Just a Little

　　Mis-Teeq - Scandalous

　　The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love

　　A-Ha - Take on Me

　　Pink - Get the Party Started

　　Jamelia - Superstar

　　Motorhead - Ace of Spades

　　SingStar uses new technology to score players, according to their vocal skills, by taking into account their pitch, tone, and timing. The game will feature a total of three gameplay modes designed for up to eight players. Sing mode is for players who simply wish to sing along to their favorite tracks, while pass-the-mic mode is a party game for duets and teams. Finally, star-maker mode will allow players to progress from singing in a bedroom to sell-out concerts.

　　We'll bring you more information on SingStar as soon as it becomes available.
