Fun, fun, funAug 22, 2008
By rcm My family has a lot of fun with Singstar and we own Amped, Rocks, '80s and Pop. Amped is probably my favorite.
First thing you need to know is to not pay any attention the song list Amazon has on here, I think their's is pulled from the European version or something, I'd have to look. Someone complained about having this and not being familiar with any of the songs, do you live in cave? I'm pushing 50 and I know them and not because they're all from my "era" although some are. Typical of Singstar I don't think the songs really fit their version titles though. Like on Rocks there are songs here I don't think belong on the "Amped" version. Here's a listing of the songs on the US version.
Alice in Chains - Would? Audioslave - Cochise Blink 182 - I Miss You Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper Boston - More Than A Feeling Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me David Bowie - Changes Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race Foo Fighters - Best Of You Free - Alright Now Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (Wild One) Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' Motorhead - Ace Of Spades Nickelback - Savin' Me Nirvana - Come As You Are O.A.R. - Love and Memories Pearl Jam - Alive Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn Queens Of The Stone Age - Go With The Flow Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize Radiohead - Creep Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline Sublime - Santeria Talking Heads - Burning Down The House The Killers - When You Were Young Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin'

Singstar Amped: Mosh, anyone?Oct 24, 2007
By Regina Dick
"geener423"
Very much like the other Singstar games, just different songs. I loved that a lot of them were from my high school era (mid-90's). This is a great one for parties because everyone gets "amped" and can dance/jump/mosh around with this disc. I love it.

Our family enjoys playing singstar often!! This was more challenging than some of the earlier versions but we soon improved our scores! If you have kids or just love Rock 'n Roll and singing along with the radio you will have a great time with this one!!!

This is no different than the other SingStar series... Great!Nov 24, 2008
By Lynn Benson This is our newest addition to the SingStar series. These are a little harder rock than the others that we have, which makes it easier for my husband and boys to participate. Most of the songs are a little older, I've given it 4 stars as we'd like to see very current music. Alas, we know these songs. We already sing along to them in the car and such. So bringing it to a challenge amongst the family is that much better.
As far as the Sing Star series of games, it is the best on the market. You are singing along with the actual song. It's not a generic version of the song. You sing along with the music video, and not some silly cartoon character. You get scored on several factors of your singing such as your timing and ability to hit notes. Your score can be ranked as an Amateur, Hopeful, Rising Star, Superstar, and SingStar.
