SingStar
‘Will Rock You’ This Summer With SingStar Queen
Entertain at Home this Summer
with Hit Songs from Queen for the PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2 systems
Sony Computer Entertainment America
Inc. (SCEA) today announced the release of SingStar Queen, the latest
installment in the multimillion-selling SingStar franchise, available for both
PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2. SingStar Queen sets the stage for the ultimate
rock star experience, challenging players to perform popular tracks from global
rock legend Queen.
Developed by Sony Computer
Entertainment Europe London Studio in collaboration with the band and Hollywood
Records, SingStar Queen for PS3 features over 20 of the most memorable Queen
songs and music videos including ‘We Are The Champions,’ ‘Another One Bites The
Dust,’ ‘We Will Rock You,’ ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ ‘Under Pressure’ and many more.
“Queen and SingStar both have a wide
and diverse global fan base,” said Charlie D’Atri, marketing director, 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.”
In addition to SingStar Queen, this
September, community and customization once again take center stage with two new
features coming to SingStar titles for PS3. First, players will be able to
express their creative talents by using the new video editing feature. Players
can take their performances to the next level by turning their best 30 second
clips into their own mini music videos using a selection of special editing
effects. These music videos can then be posted on My SingStar Online for the
entire SingStar community to enjoy.
The SingStar community features also
will be enhanced this fall as players across the country will be able to connect
like never before with the franchise’s latest social element, SingStar Clubs.
Players will be able to join unique new clubs created by fellow SingStar fans or
launch their own. With the SingStar Clubs feature, players can network with the
national SingStar community as they share their latest videos, check out online
charts from their club and relive their favorite SingStar experiences.
SingStar Queen is the second
artist-specific disc to join the catalog of SingStar titles for PS3, which
includes SingStar ABBA, SingStar Vol. 2 and SingStar. Players can also add to
their song libraries by visiting SingStore, which currently offers over 700 new
tracks to download and perform through PlayStation Network. SingStore is updated
frequently so players will never run out of new content to enjoy. All SingStar
titles for PS3 currently support the recently released voice control feature
that allows players to take complete control of the song carousel, track
selection and song purchasing through SingStore all by just speaking into the
microphone.
The independent Entertainment
Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated SingStar Queen for both PS3 and
PlayStation 2 systems “T” for Teen.
