Let's get this out of the way then; SingStar. It's the undisputed king of the karaoke game genre (are there any other singing games?) and undoubtedly the target behind Microsoft's unashamed copycat, Lips.
What might come as a surprise to some though, is that Lips turns out to be not a desperate knock-off to get at PlayStation's girls and grannies, but an impressively engineered, visually pleasing party experience from the Japanese blokes who did Elite Beat Agents.
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?
