It took all of about 15 minutes to realize that SingStar is not karaoke on a console. My wife and I being self-confessed devotees of that oft-maligned but internationally treasured Asian export, I couldn’t pass up the chance to port those late bar nights to the convenience of my living room and engage in a little competitive caterwauling. When PopMatters offered me the chance to review the latest iteration, I jumped at it. On the surface, SingStar seems like it would be the karaoke-lover’s dream game: a microphone, a song list, and familiar follow-the-highlighted-words set up, all there on your home console.
