Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Proving that the Xbox 360 isn’t just for hardcore fans of shooters and racing games, Lips offers a karaoke extravaganza that should appeal to fans of the popular SingStar range. The basics work the same as any karaoke game: You sing along to a wide range of music videos, trying to match the same pitch and tone as the original.
Gitaroo Man and cult classic Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (and its spin-off Elite Beat Agents) are some of the best-known games from Japanese developer iNiS.
 Each song comes with the original music video |
 Keep the rhythm, and watch the game rate your peformance |
 Mercy by Duffy is just one of the many songs included |
 Pick your favourite tune, or download more from Xbox Live |
Lips comes bundled with motion-sensitive microphones, so how you move--not just how you sing--also becomes a part of game play. Other people without microphones can join in, too, using standard Xbox 360 controllers for virtual claps, cowbells, and other accompaniments.
You aren't restricted to singing just the songs that are included on the game disc. You can sing along to any of the .MP3 files stored on your Xbox 360's hard drive. "Lips" should ensure more than a few fun party moments--even if the neighbours do complain.
Key Features- Sing along: Croon to the original music videos for songs from the likes of Duffy, Young MC, and Peter Bjorn and John.
- Motion mics: The game comes bundled with two unique motion-sensing microphones, which allow you to dance or play an instrument as you sing.
- My song: Sing along to songs from your own .MP3 collection by selecting any piece of music stored on the hard drive of your Xbox 360 or networked PC.
- Hi-tech chorus: Up to four people can join in on the same song, either as a duet or by using a controller to simulate a tambourine, cowbell, or other accompaniment.
- Greatest hits: Download new songs and music videos from Xbox Live to keep your stable of songs updated with the latest tracks or golden oldies.

Fun:
So one day I fancied buying a singing game after playing my cousins Singstar on the PS2, but as I only had an Xbox 360 Lips seemed the best choice for me.
Lips has a simple and straight forward layout - you choose a song, sing it, get rated and ranked in the world (if you have access to Xbox Live) and then sing another song! You can choose from a great range of songs, then either sing along with the original music video, or use your singing voice to play a mini-game - the mini-games involve things like stopping a bomb from exploding with good singing, or even facing off against a friend to see who has the better voice!
There are some great songs to choose from, from the likes of Rihanna, Coldplay and Maroon 5, if none of these take your fancy you can just get on Xbox LIVE and purchase something new. You can even upload your own song, I was intrigued with this feature but overall I found it a bit hit and miss - the feature allows you to upload a song from the Xbox 360 Hard Drive, but no lyrics will be displayed, so you can either do your best to remember them, or make them up, or view them online or something. As the songs are not proper to the game, it has no idea if you're singing in tune or not, and I even found you could actually trick it by just humming and still score really well. It's a good feature to include, but to me it became a novelty and I eventually got bored and went back to the proper songs, but that's just me! I'd say don't buy the game for this feature alone, it's good but as a bonus.
The Wireless Microphones deserve a mention also, they are great fun and wirelessly are much easier to use than others. They also play a key role in your singing performance, as you can use them to 'Strike a Pose' which will earn you extra points, or you can shake them as instruments (I believe they can also be used with other Xbox 360 music games, including RockBand - but don't quote me on that!). The Xbox 360 controller itself also turns into an instrument, which means that people who aren't singing can still participate in a song and contribute to gaining points - a nice touch.
= So in all don't be put off by some of the bad reviews around, many of which will just compare it to Singstar, which is unfair. If you're an Xbox 360 owner and love singing, or you just want a good party game to play when friends come over, this is for you, enjoy!

Fun:
First of all this game is a lot of fun. It has a great song collection of 40 songs on the CD (41 if u download A-Ha's 'take on me' which is free) with hits like Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love and Blondie Call me. There are enough songs to suit everyone. You can sing alone or there is co-op or Vs modes. In co-op mode it lets you sing the high or hard parts of parts of the song while the other person sings the backing, so you sometimes are singing at the same time especially during the chorus which is nice. In vs. you both sing the entire song, trying to earn the most points to beat each other! We only have 2 mics but it is possible to have up to six people singing together.
What i like most about this game is the options. The wireless mics have lights which can be set to a variety of colours (we picked the pink and purple colours) which is a cool touch. The lights can be set to flash in time with rhythm or other options. The moves can be a bit confusing and hard to do at the same time as singing, but we'll get used to them, and they are very funny when you're playing with other people! In addition there is an option to turn the voice of the singer down either a little bit 'soft' (so you can have a little help lol) or turn it down a lot 'hard' which means the singers voice can barely be heard, and you are left with the backing track. This can also be done on songs you upload from your MP3 player.
A great feature of this game is the ability to load songs from my MP3 player or hard drive into Lips. So if your favourite songs are not on the game you can put them on yourself. This extends the life of the game greatly. It doesn't have the lyrics on screen but if you already know the song its fine, and if not you can get the lyrics from lyrics websites online yourself. The game manages to score you even on your MP3 songs. You can also download songs from xbox live.
Another fun feature is the time bomb or the fighters. In time bomb you have to sing well which fills up your cup with water and tilt the mic to pour the water on the bomb's fuse before it explodes. The fighter mode can get quite competitive. You must sing well to get into the spotlight, and eventually you can elbow the other singer off stage lol! There are other modes we have not tried yet.
On the downside I cannot figure out how to enter more than one account while playing the game, so all xbox achievements earned seem to be going to one person which doesn't seem fair!
Overall Lips is a fun game and the wireless flashy mics and options make it a great game.

Fun:
OK, first off, I have not played Sing Star so cannot compare the two. But from my own personal experience, and as the title of my review says, I LOVE this game! I got Amazon vouchers for Christmas and put them towards buying this, and I don't regret it one bit! I first played it on New Years Eve, and had a great laugh! Since then, myself and my husband have played it on our own, and last weekend we put it on again when we had friends for dinner, and once again, had a blast! I challenge anyone to play this game and not get the Dreidel Song stuck in their head! Yes there is a bit of lag on the microphones, but I really don't find it ruins gameplay at all. The twinkly mic's look great, and the percussion option for others to join in is a laugh as well. Downloadable content is growing all the time, most recently added is the Righteous Brothers 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling' perfect for that Top Gun moment! It costs £8.50 for 1000 (or £4.25 for 500) Microsoft points and each song is approx 160-180 points, just to give you some idea. The slight mic lag is the only problem I have had, I don't know what these other bugs are that people are on about? If there are any, I'm sure at some point there will be an update to this game and they will get sorted, Microsoft seem pretty good like that to be fair. I'm giving this game 5 stars because, slight lag or not, this is the best fun I've had in ages!
