SingStar is back with brand new tracks, Harmony Duet mode and Remote Play for PSP.

SingStar is back on PlayStation 3, but there's no danger of it suffering from second album syndrome; there are enough classic tracks from all genres to keep everyone happy. Among the 30 songs are massive hits from The Killers, Eminem and Gorillaz.

There's a new mode called Harmony Duet, in which two players sing different lines of the same song, at the same time. It offers the perfect opportunity to show off your harmonies on songs like California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas or We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney & the Frog Chorus.

Song collections are easier to browse than ever, thanks to a slick new design interface.

Remote Play for PSP allows you to access SingStore, where you can download more than 300 new tracks and create playlists on the move. You can also share your best and worst performances, rate other people and leave comments at My SingStar Online.

• 30 new tracks covering all genres
• Create beautiful music with a friend in Harmony Duet mode
• Remote Play for PSP lets you access your SingStar account on the move

SingStar Vol.2 is the sequel to the first SingStar on PS3.

It's a karaoke game, giving points which are distributed by the purity of singing, as in how well does one manage to stay on tune. It doesn't matter if you change octaves in the middle of the song or what words are you singing in (it doesn't have a word recognition), so your singing is rated by how well you manage to hit the correct note at the correct time. There's a new mode called Harmony Duet, in which two players sing different lines of the same song, at the same time.

Also, the game features an access to the SingStore, where players can download their favorite songs. This additional content can range from minor extras such as game wallpaper and viewing other people's SingStar extras with a system similar to YouTube: you can send your video to the network.
