Sony announced the release of SingStar ‘90s, the latest installment in the SingStar franchise, available exclusively for the PlayStation 2. Developed by Sony's 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.

SingStar ‘90s will provide fans with the songs and videos that made boy bands and flannels shirts all the rage,” said Jeff Reese, director, software marketing, Sony. “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 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.
