SingStar: Amped Cheats

There are no known cheats for SingStar: Amped. However, there are a few glitches that can be used to your advantage. For example, you can use the “microphone calibration” glitch to improve your score.

To perform the “microphone calibration” glitch, follow these steps:

  1. Start a song in Solo mode.
  2. Hold the microphone close to your mouth and sing into it clearly.
  3. After a few seconds, the game will say that your microphone is calibrated.
  4. Once the game says that your microphone is calibrated, quickly unplug the microphone and then plug it back in.
  5. The game will now think that your microphone is much more sensitive than it actually is. This will make it easier to hit the correct notes and score more points.

Note: This glitch only works on the PlayStation 2 version of SingStar: Amped. It does not work on the PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 versions of the game.
