SingStar Legends – PS2 review

Full Review

The latest selection of songs for budding popstars is SongStar Legends. If you have stumbled into this review with no idea of what SingStar is, you might like to read the original review here on Pocket-lint, or click on the tag to the right of this review. As the name suggests, this is essentially a collection of timeless tracks. Well, Smells Like Teen Spirit is certainly a classic, but whether it sits happily alongside a bit of Tina Turner is open to debate.

What it really means is that Mum, Dad and the miserable teenage delinquent in the corner will all have something to get stuck in to. As with the SingStar Rocks! review, there is little to add here, except perhaps that we’ve found a little option that hadn’t been noticed before – the change disc option.

This means you can swap between discs in your growing collection of SingStar discs, without resetting the scores. Brilliant!

As previously, you can buy Legends on its own, or with the mics.
