Singstar is a game that lets you well, sing obviously, along to your favourite tunes. You have to match the pitch, tone and timing of the lyrics and are awarded points for how well you do. Your points are then added up at the end of the song to give you your overall score. Also showing you a gauge of how well you did out of how well you can possibly do on the song. A rank of your singing ability is also shown which can range from Wannabe right up to Superstar. Before you choose a song you are also asked which difficulty you would like, choosing out of easy, medium and hard.
