If you are looking for a game to encourage an easy, fun karaoke experience then you have found your solution. The fact you sing along with the artists provides a comfort level for your party crowd and timid singers not found in other games. More songs need to be added to extend the value of purchase.

So Lips is rather disappointing: Negatives 1. The game slows down when playing. Ridiculous bug. 2. You don't seem to be able to login under multiple Live accounts, meaning that all the achievements, even with different singers, go under the one Live account. I can't believe it was designed like this. 3. Other than the Jukebox there doesn't appear to be a multiplayer (more than 2) mode, or any other type of more complex game to play with the songs. Again, I can't believe it was designed like this, when this is a key feature and positive of SingStar. 4. The game is far too easy, and says off key tones are correct, as if they were on key. Also for rapping you just need to sing a constant note and you get the top score! 5. The ranking system seems daft, particularly when other singers cause your profile to move up the ranks. See 2. I guess. 6. One of my microphones doesn't have any lights that come on during the videos, whereas the other does. It works for everything else, and the green lights come on when I connect to the Xbox. Presumably it's broken. 7. The instrument shakers are pointless, distracting from the singing, and they just sound crap. 8. The movements you have to perform are irritating, and again just get in the way of the song. Positives 1. The lights on the microphones are cute. 2. Wireless microphones are great. 3. There's a reasonable song choice with the game, for me at least. 4. Great if you just want to sing with yourself, and are tone deaf. Summary: Don't bother and buy SingStar, although you're screwed if you don't have a PS2/3.* Although I sincerely hope I'm wrong with some or all of this.… Expand

Singstar better watch out! Lips has come to the karaoke scene with guns blazing! It has a fantastic interface, a great set of songs that would rival Rock Band's depth if it had 30 more tracks, incredibly awesome microphones that are built beautifully, the ability to sing to your own songs (not a big deal though), and the option to increase your setlist with online music. While Singstar has the downloadable content warfare already under control, Lips will have to bring the DLC heat if it wants to keep up with Singstar's high amount of downloadable songs. Lips has a little ways to go before it surpasses Singstar, but as of right now, Lips provides andgood time and is one of a kind on the Xbox 360.… Expand

It's a great clone of Singstar. Sure, it's not original, but it does improve on Singstar, fixes what's broken with Singstar, and it allows users to import MP3s and use them instead of the music on the disk. Add to that the additional download support already available on XBL, and this is a hit. In short, if you like Singstar, you'll love Lips since it's an improvement. If you didn't care for Singstar, then Lips won't be your cup of tea.… Expand

can't really compare with singstar as i've not really much experience of s.star, but i think lips isreally good. have used it with family over xmas with very pleasing results. the songs on teh disk are a very good selection and from xbox live the downloadable songs are only about £1 which i think is very good value. I'm sure this will get quite a bit of use over the coming months. My kids (9 and 5) really like it.… Expand
