Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that the new standalone disc for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, SingStar Queen, is headed to North America on August 18.
As you can expect, it's simply SingStar with Queen songs -- 25 of them to be exact -- which sounds pretty incredible. Songs include "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," and "Fat Bottomed Girls." You know, only 25 tracks seems a little skimpy, for sure. But considering they're all bound to get an entire room singing, it just might be worth it. (The PS2 version will only feature 20 tracks due to lack of Blu-ray disc support, of course.)
The PS3 version will also support the new voice control menu, which will allow you to scream out the name of the track you'd like to sing. Hopefully it will recognize "muthaf**kin' 'Killer Queen' b**thes!" A patch to enable this (along with a full set of trophies) is coming to the PS3 version of SingStar early next week, as well.

Why Queen is so under-represented in rythm games? That shit is gold.
Regardless, as long as I can yell the hell out of "Don't Stop Me Now," I'm happy.
They need to maybe make it more apparent that it is a game filled with songs by Queen, not a game for queens.
Also the reason there are more tracks on the PS3 version is because there was a Singstar update a while ago that allows you to swap Singstar disks in your PS3 and run any PS2 Singstar game in your PS3 regardless if it's a backwards compatible model. Hence, Sony needs to give you an incentive to buy the PS3 version of Singstar:Queen over the PS2 one. They did the same with Singstar:Abba
@TheCleaningGuy:
Sadly those tracks are not in the game. You can check out the track list here
I WANT TO BREAK FREE!!!
@Vedicardi2: Singstar's a Sony property.
Besides that, this is pretty awesome stuff.
As I had thought... Hm, a Disney singalong? Gotta have Gaston's song ("And ev'ry square inch of me's covered in haaiir!").
Consider +1 sale of this game.
You just don't realise what an insanely adaptive singer Mercury was. He'll go through 3 octaves before you can take a breath; the Mad Bastard (RIP).
I bought this for my GF on her Bday last week, but I think I've played it more... oh dear.
