The game includes such timeless 'classics' as Savage Garden's ' I Want You,' Sir Mix-A-Lot's ' Baby Got Back,' Seal's ' Kiss From A Rose,' and arguably the greatest music game inclusion ever, MC Hammer's ' U Can't Touch This.' Perhaps it's the additional EyeToy functionality that puts you and your friends on the screen and ignites that inner desire to show off on camera. Therefore, those looking for more exotic treats will have to go for either Guitar Hero or Rock Band.Perhaps it's the blend of signature '90s tracks amongst a dorm full of the youth of that era. While there was some attempt to include some current hits, few of the songs deviate from the mainstream selections or the chart toppers.

Singstar is let down a bit–well, a lot really–by its song selection. There are some artists that appear to be exclusive to one or the other, although both generally present a respectable selection of new and classic tunes.

Guitar Hero and Rock Band have a similarly extensive song selection, comprised of thousands of different titles. With this PS3 application, you will be able to select videos online, and purchase songs directly, without need for the game or the online store. Singstar for its part takes the top prize in this category, with an extensive digital shop called the 'SingStar Viewer'. Rock Band does have a slight edge over Guitar Hero in that it has a more comprehensive online store. You do have the choice to get songs via the in-game portals but the process isn't exactly as simple or as straightforward. Guitar Hero and Rock Band share a distinct disadvantage in this regard with the purchase of songs available from an actual physical stores or an online store. Furthermore, Guitar Hero is more focused on providing a guitarist experience, obviously, while Rock Band provides a more 'band' oriented experience.

While Singstar is definitely more karaoke-like in delivery, Guitar Hero and Rock Band are more focused on the instrumentalists’ side of things. The differences lie in how they actually approach this. All three products offer pretty much the same appeal which is that they allow you to replicate the experience of performing music or singing in front of a live audience.
