    Magnificent! A great karaoke game that beats out its competition Singstar in some ways and loses in some ways. The microphones are fantastic with the wireless and lighting on the mic. The song list is great and appeals the many different people. However, the feature most hyped about, being able to upload your own songs, is very dulled down. There is no way to get the album artwork, lyrics, or music video for your uploaded songs, which makes the feature kind of pointless. Overall, if you love singing, you should get this game. 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 i
    mprovement. 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

    A good game that is a perfectly fine substitute to Playstation's Singstar. In a crowded market Lips is a pick up and go, family friendly title that would be a sure hit at any house party. Microsoft could have a shinning brand new IP on it's hands as well as a really good game that could help them sell the Xbox 360. Lips keeps people around with fun mini games and a ever expanding library of new and old music of all genres. Expand

  1. As it stands, Lips is a solid purchase for anyone looking for a karaoke title, but you will be hoping for a sequel next holiday season.
  2. It’s hard to fault Lips for trying something different, even if it’s just a little. [Jan 2009, p.91]

    Lips sets out to take the karaoke genre by storm, but ultimately doesn't hit the high notes thanks to a lacklustre single-player affair, lack of online options and a meagre track list.
