Digital Life writes: "Among the titles that Microsoft hopes will help expand the Xbox360's audience this Christmas, the karaoke game Lips looks most likely to succeed. It builds on the foundations of Sony's astonishingly popular SingStar franchise, which has sold more than 14million copies.
Many of the innovations stem from the wireless microphones that come with Lips. They have flashing lights and motion sensors that are employed in rhythm games created by experienced Japanese developers iNiS, makers of Gitaroo Man and Elite Beat Agents.
The motion sensors are also utilised when crooning. Good singing fills up a gauge that eventually allows players to earn bonus points for crowd-pleasing gestures, such as simple taps or swinging the microphone over your head."
The team from This Is My Joystick look at their guilty gaming pleasures.
Deus Ex: Invisible War,LEGO Games,Lips, Boogie Bunnies and Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance are a few that get a mention.
With music franchises such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Lips continuously pumping out content it can be a little daunting just thinking about all the songs and devotion you need to pour into each music game. Erik Johnsen delves into the assortment of old and new music games/content and whether they warrant excitement and the hype.
i think the whole music simulation genre is slowing down in popularity
it was an amazing way to experience new&old music but now its not much more than greedy companies competing to get the next sequel out as fast as possible with little innovation
Fancy yourself as the as the new lead singer in timeless West End shows such as “Cats” or the “Phantom of the Opera”, wowing crowds and being a part of some of the greatest shows on earth?
Lips has the honour of going against SingStar......yeah good luck Lips
