Let's say you're fooling around in the Hall of Fame and come across User X's video of the sandwiches singing Supergrass. If you have a player on your PSN friend list and they create a SingStar profile, they're automatically added to your profile list. Now, this is not an exclusive in-game friend system. Your profile has a section that showcases your SingStar friend roster. All that's awesome, but the thing that's most amazing to me is the title's embracement of the PlayStation Network friend system. If the content scores well enough, it'll make it into the Hot Picks of the Week, and if it continues to dominate, it can make it into the Hall of Fame. You can even score the performance out of five stars to contribute to the average the piece is getting. Here, you can pop in and check out all of the images, videos, and audio people have posted. Now, when you attach a piece of content to your profile, it automatically gets posted in the SingStar community gallery. When you feel the need, you can remove one of the clips and upload another - everything's interchangeable. Here you can upload five of your 25-second videos, 100 of your screens, and five of your audio playbacks. Connected to your profile is your online gallery. People can drop a note about your stats or videos, and you can reply to the message. The game showcases your best score on each difficulty and also creates a comment section for your profile that's similar to Facebook's wall. You post an avatar - either a PlayStation Eye photo of yourself or one of the handful of stock images - along with your favorite band, favorite song, profile headline, etc. Basically the product of a one-night stand between Facebook and YouTube, My SingStar hosts a profile that's all about you.

My SingStar, which acts as your online identity in the PS3 version, eliminates that complaint. They're good, but their focus on the casual party vibe kind of holds them back from being something I'd want to rock when I'm all alone. And that's where this game begins to blow every other version away. From that hard drive gallery - which can hold 60 videos, 100 pictures, and 60 audio playbacks - you can upload your content to your online profile. From there, you can save the video clip, the audio file and any of the snapshots to your hard drive and reminisce at your leisure in your Media Gallery. When the performance is over, you can listen to an audio playback and if you have a PlayStation Eye - and seriously, if you're buying this game, buy a PlayStation Eye - you can look through video clips called Golden Moments, browse ten snapshots from the sing-a-long, and scope a 25-second clip of you belting out the tunes. For the first time in quite some time, SingStar gives you the ability to turn off the original artist's vocals so only you can be heard singing, and the game lets you jump between groups or individual tracks alphabetically. In the end, you'll get a final score and a ranking that ranges from "Tone Deaf" to "SingStar." Not too exciting, right? I mean, it's a solid system that works for the party atmosphere Sony's shooting for, but we've been doing all of that for the past five U.S./PS2 iterations of this game. When a line of text ends, you'll get a written critique ranging from "awful" to "cool" along with some points. When you're in the game, words will illuminate at the bottom and you'll try to fill in blank pitch and timing bars with your voice, which appears as whatever colored mic you're using. You'll pick your musical poison from one of the 30 songs/six medleys on the disc or whatever tracks you've downloaded - more on that in a bit - and get it on. You'll pick up the blue and red microphones (You can buy them packed in with the game, but if you have the PS2 mics, they're the same thing so just buy the disc by itself.) and decide if you want to sing alone, battle an in-house opponent, duet, or face off in an up to eight-person, pass the mic battle. SingStar marks the game's jump to the PlayStation 3. It might sound like a simple product, but 85 different discs from the franchise have been released worldwide on the PlayStation 2. You pop a disc in, choose a song, a music video plays, and you sing along. For the uninitiated in the group, the SingStar franchise acts as a karaoke simulator.
