Sony
Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced the release of
SingStar Queen today. This
latest installment in the popular Playstation karaoke franchise puts
you into the shoes of global rock legend Queen, letting you perform
some of their biggest hits, like We Are The Champions,
Another One Bites The Dust,
We Will Rock You,
Bohemian Raphsody and
more, all in the comfort of your living room.
SingStar
Queen was
developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's London Studio in
collaboration with the band and Hollywood Records and features over
20 songs. “Queen
and SingStar
both have a wide and diverse global fan base,” said Charlie D’Atri,
marketing director at Hollywood Records. “We are thrilled to
collaborate with SCEA on SingStar Queen to offer PlayStation fans the
unique opportunity to become a part of rock history with the best
interactive singing experience available set to the legendary music
of Queen.”
Sony's
also upping the community and customization features for the
Playstation 3 versions of SingStar
this September, with two new features. The first of the two features
will be a new video editor, allowing players who have the Playstation
Eye to turn the best 30 second clips of their performances into mini
music videos, using a small suite of editing special effects to add
to the clip. The clips can then be added to the My Singstar Online
community for everyone to enjoy (or make fun of if that's your
thing).
The
second new feature will allow players to connect like never before,
thanks to the franchise's newest social feature, SingStar
Clubs.
You'll be able to start or join Clubs in which they can network with
the national SingStar
community as they share their latest videos, check out online charts
from their club and relive their favourite SingStar
experiences.
SingStar
Queen is
available now for Playstation 2 and Playstation 3, but is not
available as a bundle with the Singstar
microphones.
Singstar
Queen is
rated T for Teen.
