This game is about as interactive as it gets with great singers and singing wanna-bee's belting it out to impress or distress the games artificially intelligent judges.

**The SingStar Rocks National Tour** is pure marketing 101, but I'm sure that consumers will be flocking to participating malls across the U.S. to sing their guts out for a shot at micro-fame nonetheless.
