In testing, we also experienced a slight lag in the input and recognition of vocals into the game, but nothing that had too significant an effect on scoring or gameplay. We were flying blind - to avoid a similar fate, be sure to have the tracklist on hand. We experienced this issue when we began reviewing tracks on the new SingStar: Pop Edition when unfamiliar with some of the newer artists and album covers in the song selection. Given users can also select songs by artist or track name, users unfamiliar with track lists won't easily be able to browse the tracklist without a controller (which would also be wireless for those playing on the next-gen PS3 console). If you already own a SingStar microphone, you can use it to record audio on your computer. But the microphones have a USB connection, which also allows them to work on a computer with USB capabilities. I've used a SingStar mic for Guitar Hero but I don't. The Guitar Hero mic plugs directly in to USB. While the voice recognition features of the new mics are clever, often the few seconds it takes for your voice command to process will make you think it'd be easier (and faster) to click the X button on your controller. SingStar SingStar microphones are made for the SingStar games for Playstation systems. SingStar uses an adaptor that the mics fit into, the adaptor is then plugged in via USB. You'll need your standard controller to make your game selection (solo, multiplayer, etc), but from there, a quick tutorial will get you up to speed on the mic's new voice control features and allow you to select your song, set difficulties and conduct basic navigation around the game.īoth PS2 and PS3 owners can upgrade to the new wireless set-up, with the peripherals compatible with both consoles. The slightly chunky dongle will ensure the mics power up and are ready to rock when you start your SingStar game. Technically, set-up of the new microphones is fairly simple - mics are battery-powered and come packaged with AA batteries and a wireless dongle that connects to your console via a USB connection.
