SCEA announced today the release of SingStar Rocks! Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s London Studio, SingStar Rocks is an innovative new title that invites players to step into the spotlight and exercise their vocal chords in an engaging, social experience that encourages even the shyest singer to unleash their inner rock star.
SingStar Rocks! is a hip, competitive singing game with a sophisticated interface featuring real songs and music videos from original artists.

SingStar Rocks! comes packed with two microphones that plug into PlayStation 2 via a special SingStar USB converter, offering an instant multi-player experience. Unlike any other singing game on the market, SingStar technology analyzes the player’s vocal skills, based on their pitch, tone and rhythm and provides feedback based on how well or badly they have sung. The game is also compatible with the EyeToy camera allowing players to actually see themselves singing within the game.

“Because SingStar Rocks! features actual songs and videos recorded by popular artists, it adds an element of realism never before seen in a singing game,” said Sarah Stocker, Senior Producer, SCEA. “Couple that authenticity with the wide variety of songs and adjustable levels of difficulty in SingStar Rocks!, and you have the perfect party game for any get-together.”

SingStar Rocks! features 30 fully licensed music tracks from a wide variety of artists and also includes footage of the original videos for each song. The songs span several genres from chart-topping rock, pop, hip-hop and legendary artists, including Fall Out Boy, Gwen Stefani, Coldplay, Jet, Scorpions, KT Tunstall, The Killers, Blur, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and many others. Players can save their favorite performances to Memory Card for future playback, and customize and enhance playback with numerous audio effects.
