Lips Review - VideoGamer.com

VideoGamer.com writes: "None of this prevents us from recommending Lips to Xbox 360 owners. It's the only game of its type on the 360, it's got brilliant microphones and it at least tries to allow you to expand the potential track-list to infinity. If you like karaoke, and you have friends or family that like karaoke, it's a damn sight better in-law entertainment option than charades this Christmas, and for that we should be eternally grateful."

Doesn't do enough to convincingly beat singstar.

Plus the name isn't as well known as singstar, i don't expect great sales

"But the saddest thing about Lips is that it suffers in comparison to SingStar's gameplay. We've long moaned about legacy issues with SingStar - that it can't cope with vibrato, punishes you for tailing off at the right time, and has a bit of lag in audio playback - but despite Lips' fancy mics and superficial improvements, it's too easy, too isolated from other players, and too buggy. The irony is that SingStar has glitches as well, now and then, and casual gamers seem to put up with this, whereas Microsoft - architect of the Red Rings - has little goodwill left to cash in on that front. Casual or not, though, you should only buy this if you can't get SingStar".

5/10

More reviews needed to see if this is any good and can compete with SingStar, I'd guess from that Eurogamer one that it'll be a no.

From now on, every LIPS review from a reviewer should be compared to their Singstar reviews.

And your eyes will open my friend. You will quickly come to see which are the uber fanboy sites that should no longer be listened to.

When Sony came with Singstar last year, "its worthless", "average", "Im not buying a PS3 for this" but now MS has copied Singstar and suddenly "OMG awesome shiat!!!"

Hahaha, fking ridiculous.

@kharma
LOL a 5/10 and you still need convincing? LOL

Yoma6387d ago

Might pick this up sometime next year,for the remainder of 08 it's going to be Singstar

v1c1ous6387d ago

so whomever approved this casual crap that 360 gaming division is churning out lately (ugh avatars) gets fired.

Why hoping it will fail. I won't buy it but I know there are people out there who enjoy these titles

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

Andrew Lloyd Webber classics coming to Lips

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?
