SingStar is to get a pair of add-ons, bringing dancing and guitar strumming to the PS3’s karaoke favourite. Although details are a bit sparse at present, SingStar Dance and SingStar Guitar look likely to bring SingStar more into line with the likes of Rock Band and Guitar Hero.
SingStar Guitar will work with any existing PS3 guitar peripheral (Rock Band and Guitar Hero controllers, in other words), suggesting that its gameplay will be broadly similar to existing beat-matching music games. Sony hasn’t confirmed this, though, and there’s no word on a release date or price.
SingStar Dance will make use of PlayStation Move and PlayStation Eye to track your sweet feet, and rumour has it it’ll be on sale in November.

Both spin-offs have apparently been designed so that people can get involved with SingStar sessions, even when other people are wailing into the mic. Basically, you’ll be able to strut around or strum a plastic guitar in the background while your mate sings.
Songs offering SingStar Dance and SingStar Guitar gameplay will be sold through the online SingStore.
