SingStar: Amped is a karaoke game, featuring rock music. The German and US versions have a number of different included songs.
The main focus of the game is singing those songs as good as one can. The game gives 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 …
The music aspect of the game has received criticism for its erratic song choices and a limited selection of only 30 tunes, which some players feel are insufficient. Additionally, the video capabilities related to the music feature are described as half-baked, suggesting a lack of polish and functionality.
“The song choices are erratic, with only 30 tunes available, and the video abilities feel half-baked.”
“The limited selection of just 30 songs makes the music experience feel repetitive and uninspired.”
“The erratic nature of the song choices detracts from the overall enjoyment, leaving players wanting more variety.”
