SingStar: Back to the 80s is a karaoke games with pop songs from the 80s. There are no gameplay changes: player(s) sing into a microphone and the game gives points based on the performance. The only basis of assessment is if the correct note is hit with the correct timeing; the sung words or octave does not play into the result. The game allows access to the SingStore, an online shop for downloading additional songs.
