Lips Full Track List

I'm glad this is coming, I can finally get the Mrs to ditch the PS2 and singstar. Looks great she will love it.

I wouldn't be so quick. Singstar has updates every 2 weeks and song packs every two weeks as well until Christmas! :D
 
Just pre-ordered this including a 10% code at an online rental company for £35.94. Great present for the Mrs for Christmas.
 
pre ordered for £40, don't suppose I'll find it cheaper

Seen it on a website I use for my games for 37.99 and free delivery.

I would be inclined to wait till release date myself. The amount of discounting some supermarkets are doing on games and accessories, these days, is ridiculous (in a good way!!).

i think i'll do the same and wait till the release day to see what the shops are selling it at.

really looking forward to this a rock band 2 now, the 21st is going to be mental with lips, rock band 2, left 4 dead and tomb raider.
 
heard the game mechanics arent as good as Singstar, and that the note recognition doesnt work as well. However wireless mics were hailed as a plus. Think i'll stick to singstar.
 
any reason why I've yet to find a review rather than a preview, or even videos apart from the 2 official ones

On a cost basis, at least, Lips ought to be ahead of SingStar, since they're both 40 quid and Lips has more songs and nicer microphones. But when you consider what else SingStar has over Lips, it's harder to make the argument. Thanks to DLC in particular, music games often defy what's-in-the-box reviewing; in the same way that World of Warcraft improves with Blizzard's ongoing support, music games become more attractive as their creators offer a broader range of downloadable music, and it's only fair to reward it once the potential has been realised. It has for SingStar, but it won't be for a while with Lips.

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
 
Look what Mr Postman has brought!!! (Should really sing that on lips tbh)



Anyway expect an in-depth review later, and very embarrsing videos of me and the GF singing, any song requests :p
 
just been playing this for a few hours (along with rock band 2)

first impressions are very good, the microphones are excellent the little leds on them go along with the beat of the song your playing which is a nice touch, the build quality is solid as usual with Microsoft 1st party accessories.

the songs are great fun, i love singing along to the proclaimers :P

one small thing i will mention, when importing music from my pc it takes forever to scroll through 3000+ songs they need to make it so the right/left bumper scrolls say 10-20 a time.

loads of easy achievements too!
