Lips sequel pout in October


Recommended Posts

News by Robert Purchese

Microsoft has announced a 23rd October release date for Lips: Number One Hits, the second instalment in the Xbox 360 karaoke series.

New this time is Xbox Live Avatar integration and accessories for them, which are unlocked as you progress. You can now also climb dynamic leaderboards as you sing, and race up the ranks as you nail passages earning crucial combos and multipliers.

Number One Hits has 40 tracks by current pop power-acts like Lady GaGa and Rihanna, as well as classic crooners like Marvin Gaye and Roy Orbison. Once those are exhausted, the new Hot Tracks feature allows online additions to be previewed before purchase.

Despite flashing and motion-sensing microphones, Lips disappointed last year because, basically, it didn't work. If developer iNiS has addressed those problems, Lips might finally offer a worthy alternative to SingStar.

Check out our Lips review to find out more.

This would be great to have because it's so much fun :) but it just isn't worth the ?40 for the amount I would use it:((

plus, it's missing a lot of pretty classic KTV songs, they need to add lots more songs to the marketplace.

Why not extend the system to allow importation of karaoke songs from Xbox Music Mixer?

My wife loves that and we've got like 500 songs. This is one of the main reasons we haven't got a 360 yet.

How quick was the sequel released in comparison to something like Singstar? I'm too lazy to look it up but I'd say Singstar has shoveled out a lot more in the same time frame. Is MS going for quality or just not trying to tarnish their "singing" IP?

You know Xbox Music Mixer is considered a collector's item now, right?
