Wow, that song selection IS amazing. I want those songs in Rock Band.

Quicksilver4648

@kicking222: I have rock band and singstar and the compliment themselves nicely. What makes Singstar fun is the duets and singing duals. Also the videos are nice and if you have the ps eye if records 30 second segments which are good for hilarity.

greeble

I wish this were for Rock Band :(

jackburnt

@LedRush: Dude, seeing Freddie sing "Who Wants to Live Forever" in one of his last concerts ever, gave and still gives me chills.

It's a powerful song.

Lachoy

@Nesagwa: Here's how I see it: when you've got "Rock Band", why by a game that only has one of the four components- and the second-worst component (only ahead of bass, of course) at that?

If I had a PS3, I'd probably own "MGS4", the full-length "Ratchet" game, and "Uncharted". That's about it. And I own a PS2, but for me, it's sure as hell not worth paying for a karaoke game (at least, a game that only has karaoke).

kicking222

Awesome. What would be more awesome would be if they released these for Guitar Hero WT or Rock Band. Seriously. Get on that.

Guitaratomik

SingStar Queen is likely going to be my first, and only, SingStar. Because Queen is godly.

Ravenhood

:'( No "Don't stop me now"

ChiZ_MacT

@CyN1caL: This. Definitely needs more Don't Stop Me Now.

Wolfenburg

Bohemian Rhapsody is going to kill a few eardrums. It's usually the worst vocalists (like me) who are the keenest to sing on that song.

Ah, I remember when - I must have been 13 or 14 - our entire class got detention for belting out Bohemian Rhapsody while our teacher was away for a few minutes. Good times...

Antiterra

@LedRush: Yes, Queen does have many great songs. One Vision and Who Wants to Live Forever are among them.

Unless they release the entire Queen catalog, someone's favorites will be left out.

elementary

@Jedi924: Agreed, I would have enjoyed that track. Even though it's not generally considered as "epic" as some of the other titles.

TitillatedOcelot

@LedRush: One Vision is awesome. You go sit in the corner now.

KaneRobot

@pikpikjuice: Most of the videos for the songs were never filmed in HD. Why would they be in HD on the PS3? The SingStore is reason enough to purchase the PS3 version.

TitillatedOcelot

If I had a ps3 I would be tempted to get that game. How awesome would it be to sing "Who Wants To Live Forever" and for a game to tell you how crap you are. =)

Vixtro

Oh hell yes.

I'm gonna be singin' this tonight 'till the new day dawns.

Ashurahori

No Radio Ga Ga. :(

Jedi924

Needs more Don't Stop Me Now and Stone Cold Crazy.

And to be on Rock Band.

CyN1caL

The only song I'm not absolutely crazy about on that list is Breakthru. It's a good song, but the rest are mighty, mighty giants.

DorkimusPrime

Wow...I'm nowhere near my PS3 at the moment, but I will rub my temples in an attempt to purchase it telepathically.

TitillatedOcelot

Are the video's on ps3 singstar in HD? Because there's no point in getting a ps3 version if they are not.

pikpikjuice

Queen has so many great songs, it's disgusting that these are the ones that made it. One Vision?
Who Wants To Live Forever? These guys had tons of great songs...don't hand out dog food!

LedRush

Ah, it's not out until tomorrow and it's £4.49 per track pack. Not too bad

NecronomiconUK

Plunkett praising SingStar - what has the world come to... ;-)

El-Suave

@LaserJudas:

Judas!

Mr. Tambourine Man

@kicking222:

Im just going to wait and see what Lips has. I already have RB1&2 and dont want to buy a PS3 just for karaoke and MGS4.

Nesagwa

Awesome. I will belt out "Who wants to live forever" with a mic in one hand, and my sword in the other.

ChimDeathmonkey

How much are each pack? And can tracks be bought individually? Who am I kidding... i'll buy em all this evening as soon as I get home regardless.

NecronomiconUK

Who Wants To Live Forever? Oh Snap! Yeah, I don't even own a PS3 and I'll agree that was a good choice. Ah, now to remember that only one Highlander movie was ever made. No sequels. None. At all. Except for the TV show. I liked that.

Salen

@Mr. Tambourine Man:

Pretty sure the lyrics are "Mama just killed a man"...

LaserJudas

Is Queen one of the best bands ever? Abso-damn-lutely.

But there is no way I would ever purchase a "SingStar" game. Ever.

kicking222

MAMMMAAA
JUST KILL THE MAN

Mr. Tambourine Man

There is a good chance that Sing Star Queen will be my first venture into the land of Sing Star.

That is, of course, unless they release anything Queen related on Rock Band. But if Sing Star is running with em, thats doubtful (and sad.)

WildWon

reason alone to get singstar. wow. Thanks Sony. Thanks Freddie...

Herret

Epic.

Nephilim

Who chose Bicycle Race? It's cheeky fun, but Fat Bottom Girls I feel is better cheeky fun (though they are analogs to each other.)

Mommar

dang...im confused...

rbee90

BICYCLE!

Frank

tracks like radio gaga are already available on singstar titles

that said, i WOULD buy them separately (radio gaga, show must go on) given the opportunity, rather than needing discs containing other crap

directhex

Shame the song selection is limited to those who have music videos made for them.

I suck at singing but I soooooooo want this!

Great Merol

It'd be cheaper for me to wait for Singstar: Queen.

Rybo5000

@Mr. Tambourine Man:

Hehehe

Booyah!

LaserJudas

@kicking222:
I disagree, the guitar playing is the worst component of Rock Band/Guitar Hero. With the drumming and singing if you get better, you actually get better at an applicable skill. The plastic guitar is just that, playing with a silly plastic guitar and the least interesting from my perspective.

Mommar

Needs more "Save Me."

Moridin

I don't play rock band hero star. But I do love me some queen.

..Oddly enough according to Terry Pratchett, any tape left in the car for a few days automatically becomes "the Best of Queen."

These are the signs of the end of days!

Also, I sing these in the shower.

Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.

@Jedi924: pretty sure it's already on the singstore

Danathjo

Oh god. my neighbours are going to be PISSED tonight.

tony_important

Songs that should be on ROCK BAND goddammit!

AxelMinami

@Antiterra: My favorite concert experience ever was seeing Weezer when they first came back. Before they came on stage, they played B.R. over the PA and the WHOLE FUCKING Aragon Ballroom just started singing.

It was pretty badass.

iameleveneight

@Frank: BICYCLE!

el_benito

@Mommar: Exactly. I've become a better singer since playing Rock Band, and I'm just as bad of a guitar player as I've ever been. Hopefully, Queen comes out for either Lips or Rock Band because 450 bucks is a lot to pay to pretend you're Freddie Mercury.

Fuzzy Logic

Queen FTW.

Đipic

OH MY GOD HOW DID I MISS THE FIRST STORY! HARMONIX, LEARN FROM THIS, AND BE AMAZING!

EvilTim102

They need "Don't stop me", awesome song to sing along.
Queen FTW.

Poison

Too bad no one likes singing around here like I do... Well, I can't say no one, but the majority like playing the fake instruments...

Freddie Mercury was the single greatest male vocalist of the last 100 years.

bobtheduck

Not a fan of Karaoke, but this is now automatically the best music game ever!!!

fearing

Are we talking the US Store? Songs I actually want to buy? It is so unlike them.
There may be hope for the store yet!

DrStrangepork

Very nice! Can you only get the packs or can you get them each separately?

outlawauron

hands down... GOLD! I'm as good as sold. How much for the whole thing?

dadeisvenm

These songs are in addition to several Queen songs that are *already* on the Singstore. Dont Stop Me Now and Radio Ga Ga are already there, for example.

This is great news, and I will (once again) spunk money on the SingStore. Between Queen and ABBA, I'll probably end up spending a fairly large chunk of change on SS. They've done *awfully* well out of me.

gblock

Great songs... I'd love to have "Innuendo" and "The Show Must Go On" too (oh, and they have to put "Prince of the Universe" just for the sheer party fun potential).

As long as there's no "Flash", "Radio Gaga" or horrible stuff like "Body language", this is a solid buy for me.

Mokona

For me the one and only reason to buy SingStar!

HerrK

No Princes of the Universe = No buy.

DTM_Returns

@Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.:

Makes me want to pull out my copy of "Good Omens" (Don't forget Gaiman helped too!

DrStrangepork

Can someone who has SingStar fill me in here? What do I need to buy in order to buy these track packs and use them? Can I buy any SingStar game for the PS3 and get these tracks as an add-on, or is there a specific one I need?

Please someone, help the n00b. :)

kathyl

Needs more Under Pressure!

just for that duet magic.

connla

@Salen: Seconded on the "No sequels."

mikhailian

SingStar is getting better and better. Does anybody on here know anything about the Trophies?

Ghostm

We Will Rock You and We are the Champions are two different songs? Cheap.

moofrank

This is amazing. We'll always miss you, Freddie!

CHU BOI

M-F'er!!!!! PS3 fanboy is reporting this as for the European store only (or at least no word on U.S. release).

Sony, you are killing me!!

DrStrangepork

@Mommar: Yeah, I can't listen to one without the other... kind of like We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions. They just seem incomplete without both.

RiceBandit

@CyN1caL: Don't Stop Me Now is already on the SingStore, it's even used as the intro for SingStar Vol 2... at least, it is in the UK.

alexp2_ad

I Want It All is included? BRB, gotta fap.

Can't wait for Singstar Queen to hit the PS2.

Combichristoffersen

That photo is fucking awesome.

Cheysan

I DEMAND "DON'T STOP ME NOW" SONY!

Hand over the party song, damn you!

JustShotMarvin

@iameleveneight: Well, mine had to be when a couple hundred people started signing along to Africa by Toto before Wolfmother came on stage.

Well, it has nothing to do with Queen... but it was still fucking great, so leave me be!

"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!!"

Oh, I guess I better be a little on topic... soooo... Queen rules, but you knew that, right?

Erwin

@DTM_Returns: I'll buy, but wish it was there....

Phokal

No Somebody to Love, Don't Stop Me Now or Fat Bottom Girls?

They'd better be saving these for the full game

Malidictus

We will rock you? That is there worse song (and also one of the most popular). Where's "Don't Stop Me Now" or "Good Old Fashioned Loerboy"?

But it is nice to see Breakthru on there. Queen fans rejoice.

Syndicated Terence

Is that a real statue? If so... do want.

휘성

YES! I LOVE Queen! But I HATE Playstation 3s. I also HATE singing. I'm in a predicament.

Fire_Mario

Great track list but I miss Don't Stop me Now, Killer Queen, and many others.

oblivian92

QUEEN actually have a new CD out with brand new material and you know what? It ain't bad. It ain't bad at all. It's called, 'The Cosmos Rocks' Yeah Paul Rodgers is no Freddie Mercury, but he and the rest of the band know that. They're not to trying to top the previous Queen albums. They're just doing what they love to do. Play music. As Freddie said, The Show Must Go On.

+ Watch video

Orionsaint

@bobtheduck: He was the single greatest male of the last 100 years.

Thorax

QUEEN is my fav band of all time. I got into them when I was a kid. I bought the single for 'Crazy little thing called Love'in 81. The B-side was 'Another one bites the Dust'. From then on QUEEN became my favorite band and still are to this day. I'm also very happy they included 'Who Wants To Live Forever' It's gotta be one of the saddest most moving songs ever recorded. A lot of people think Freddie sings the whole song. Actually the guitarist Brian May sings the first half. Freddie comes in afterwards. It's Freddie and May singing togther by the end. It's classic QUEEN!

Orionsaint

No Fat Bottomed Girls

There is no god...

Thorax

Kotaku, did you REALLY REALLY not tell us in the article that those song packs are only available in certain countries? Did I really go and freaking buy SingStar here in the USA today only to find out after searching the online store and not finding the Queen Packs that I had to go somewhere else and find out that the Packs are UK only?!?!?!? Really?

kathyl

@Jedi924:

Man where's Don't Stop Me Now :(

Tracid

@Fire_Mario: Seems so. Lots of HATE going on there.
