 GAMES: (Currently available in the UK/EU only) SingStar Vol. 2 features a harmony duet mode: a new way of playing that allows two players to sing different lines to a song at the same time, showing off their harmonising skills. This is your chance to showcase your talent and adds a new dimension to the SingStar experience. Special tracks have been included to showcase this new mode such as Kool and the Gang: Celebration, the Paul McCartney & the Frog Chorus: We all Stand Together and The Mamas & The Papas: California Dreamin'. SingStar Vol. 2 also includes Remote Play functionalities with PSP. Using PSP and a wireless Internet connection, players can access various areas of the game such as: SingStore: browse, select and download new songs, from SingStore remotely. This is your chance to get your favourite party tracklist ready before you're heading back home. My SingStar Online: browse and participate in all areas, rate media, leave comments, take part in polls, etc.). You can now continue to be part of the SingStar community on the go: share and show off your performances to your friends and family!

SingStar Volume 2 is the absolute epitome of what we think videogaming should be about.

As ever, what it comes down to is the track list - and Vol 2 is a belter. [July 2008, p.99]

Games Master UK
There's little in the way of innovation to be found here, but it's a finely tuned package. [Sept 2008, p.76]

A decent outing, aided by the genuinely exciting harmony option. Another great "SingStar." [July 2008, p.72]

That said, this collection of safe, well known chart singles from the past four decades is sure to go down well at parties, and if you’re canny you can pick it up for less than £20, making it actually pretty good value, relatively speaking.

We don't think the PSP Remote Play functionality makes it worth while, but we reckon the harmony duet mode just about swings it. Oh, and the trippy background music. So, get this if you like SingStar Vol.2's track selection and you're effortlessly popular. Don't if you don't or you're not. Simple as that.

In the end, SingStar Vol. 2 is aimed to the following public: those who don't own the previous game, or those that do not have easy access to the SingStore.

SingStar Vol. 2 is, in many ways, a good idea streamlined and polished to a fine sheen. It’s tough to pick faults in a game that does exactly what it says on the tin and more. As a package, it’s brilliantly executed – from the song choice, to the overall presentation, everything is done to a high standard.

You should base your buying desicion on the songs; everyone that has ever enjoyed the brilliant karaoke of SingStar in the past should pick up either of these games, with you final choice depending of you personal preference in music

It's like a party in a box.

Ambiguity aside this is a fairly middle of the road follow-on to an ace series that'll still amuse endlessly.

The game’s familiar format means instant gratification, and the option to download new tracks is a major draw card for us… plus it’s excellent value for money and damn good fun, to boot.

To the dismay of fans everywhere, here’s another Singstar-title with no ambition to innovate. Being able to buy songs through your PSP is a nice nuance, but the new duet-mode is the one great feature in an otherwise familiar package. A set of great and fun songs saves this title from earning a really low grade.

Whether you want to fork out for that will depend, as ever, on your approval of the track listing.

Overall, SingStar Vol.2 is a step in the right direction, if only because it’s slightly better than your average sequel on the PS2.

Owners of the first part better hold on to their money and buy songs they really like in the SingStore.
