Seem of the songs don't seem like rock to me, especially stuff like gwen or the veronicas.

^ Pop-rock. But then the title is Singstar Rocks! not Singstar Rock. So it didn't have to have only rock song in there.
Certainly an awesome playlist. The PS3 versions should be great, good quality clips, more songs etc.

Kids seem to have a love/ hate relationship with singstar, they love to have a go but hate it when a bunch of pissed parents get together and kick the kids off the playstation. I went to a party last week where this happened and we had about a dozen drunk people ( whom half would have never even picked up a playstation controller exept to vacuum under it ) all doing their thing. The funny thing about these titles is that just about everyone says "no way that Im going to get up and sing" but within 20 mins its "ok just 1 go" then its no turning back. The biggest critisism I have heard said about sing star is that it doesn't account for "artistic interpretation" as a friend told me last week, and I must admit it erks me when my daughter can hum along and get a much better score than me! But I still give myself extra points for air guitar.
Singstar Rocks has by far the best song list of all 4 of the titles and Sony should be comended for coming up with these titles in a very clever marketing ploy to give thier console a thought from parents and not just the more traditional game players in the household. (Perhaps Microsoft needs to buy themselves a music publishing company as Sony did many years ago)

Other than that I totally agree, I've been in almost the same scenario (but with fewer drunk people  ) with this game.
As for what's quoted, I much prefer a bit of Singstar 80s. Nena, The Cure, Dexy's Midnight Runners > Gwen Stefani, Stereophonics, The Offspring.

Microsoft has some kind of deal with some publisher that's under Sony BMG is doing an Artist of the Month thing where you can download 480p/720p music videos of some artist.
Not quite the same as Singstar though.

I agree wobbler, no one ever seems to have the guts until about 2-3 songs through during a party.
I own Singstar 80's (bought it for my brother when I had manga and lordI sleeping over) IMO it's the best Singstar available however my music taste is more retro than anything.
This would probably be my second favourite singstar by the look of things. I don't mind Blur (though it's an easy song), The Killers, Nirvana and some of the other tracks on there.
