The latest installment in the ever growing multi-million selling SingStar
franchise, available exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer
entertainment system. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's
Worldwide Studios, London Studio, SingStar '90s brings a hit list of Grunge,
R&B, Rap and Pop music from artists that defined the decade including Paula
Abdul, En Vogue, Vanilla Ice, Boyz II Men, Nirvana and more.
Available both as a stand-alone disc and packaged with two high-quality
USB microphones, the addition of SingStar '90s as the fifth installment to the
SingStar catalogue provides PlayStation fans with over 150 chart-topping
songs and music videos to sing, compete and have fun with friends and family.
Players can easily access any of the song lists while playing from SingStar
'90s, SingStar Rocks!, SingStar Pop, SingStar '80s, or
SingStar Amped with the disc swap feature which allows for seamless
transition between titles.
"The SingStar franchise has been instrumental in making PlayStation 2 a
social entertainment hub in the home. SingStar '90s will build on this success
and provide fans with the songs and videos that made boy bands and flannel
shirts all the rage," said Jeff Reese, director, software marketing, SCEA.
"This year will be landmark for SingStar as we continue to deliver compelling
content on PlayStation 2 while also revolutionizing the franchise as we bring
it to PlayStation 3 on May 20 by giving players access to purchase hundreds of
songs and videos across multiple genres, build and customize party playlists,
and build a community of user-created performances."
Regardless of music or gaming ability, aspiring rock stars can select from
30 hit songs to sing along with while watching the actual music video on
screen. Performing to such crowd pleasing favorites as "U Can't Touch This",
"Pump up the Jam", and "Ice Ice Baby", players can take their turn in the
spotlight solo-style or share the spotlight with multiplayer modes, including
cooperative Duet Mode, one-on-one Battle Mode, and the team-based Pass-the-Mic
which accommodates up to eight players. In addition, SingStar '90s is
compatible with the popular EyeToy USB camera which allows players to watch
themselves belt it out as the main act and record their performance for
playback. Players can also save their favorite vocal performances onto a
Memory Card for future audio playback and customize and enhance playback with
numerous effects.
