SingStar
SingStar is a competitive music video game series for PlayStation
consoles, SingStar games are distributed either as the software alone,
or bundled with a pair of USB microphones

games are compatible with the EyeToy
and PlayStation Eye cameras, allowing players to see themselves
singing.
The game is very simple to get a hung of it, SingStar games require
players to sing along with music in order to score points. Players
interface with their console via SingStar microphones while a music
video plays in the background. The pitch players are required to sing
is displayed as horizontal grey bars, which function similar to a
musical stave, with corresponding lyrics displayed at the bottom of the
screen. The game analyses a player's pitch and compares it to the
original track, with players scoring points based on how accurate their
singing is. Different modes of SingStar may vary this basic pattern,
but the principle is similar throughout.
SingStar includes a variety of game modes. The standard singing mode
allows one or two people to sing simultaneously, either competitively
or in a duet. The game also offers a "Pass the Mic" mode, which allows
up to eight people to play a series of rounds in two teams. The cherry
