Game Overview

SingStar Rocks is a popular karaoke game in which players sing to music videos in order to score points. Players interface with their Playstation 2 via USB microphones while a music video plays on screen. Lyrics are shown at the bottom of the screen. SingStar Rocks matches a player's song voice to the original track, with players scoring points according to how accurate their singing is. Usually, two players compete simultaneously. Certain modes of SingStar Rocks may vary this basic pattern, but the principle is similar throughout.

Technical issues

A number of players have experienced problems with the SingStar Rocks! disc - at some point in the music videos the video freezes and the audio loops, rendering the game unplayable. As the PS2 units affected can play back other PS2 discs without any problems and replacing the Rocks! disc with a new copy doesn't help, it is possible that a manufacturing error has occurred [1].
