Despite all its drawbacks, Lips succeeds in one key area, and that's providing an engaging short-burst living room karaoke experience. The interface is remarkably easy to use, the initial track list is solid and the motion-sensitive light-up microphones are outstanding (although it remains to be seen how they will hold up with extended use). This isn't a game that will provide you hours of solo enjoyment on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and if you're expecting a full-featured music game on par with Rock Band or Guitar Hero, IGN would advise against picking up Lips. For hardcore gamers, there's nothing even remotely challenging about Lips, unless you count trying to use your iPod with it. But bust it out with the right group of (preferably tipsy) people, and you just might have a hit on your hands.

Overall -
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?
this game really seems to suck.
We all knew it would suck,it has such a poor track list. But seriously, come on Sony, announce a release date for Singstar Volume 3 for NA already. It's the best Volume so far and only the Europeans are feeling the love.
Lips is also very buggy.
Developed specifically for the 360. Only available on the 360.
