Lips was a big hit at my New Year party where there were plenty of alcohols to go around.
The good -
- wireless mics plus cool flashing light = win (especially to the intoxicated)
- easy to sing, even if you suck at singing like me. People complain about how easy the game score is missing the point of this "game"
- singing interface (not the game interface) where lyrics flow are easy to follow.
- motion-sensor is also a nice addition.
- add your own music work effortlessly with the iPod
The bad -
- mics were a little confusing at first to sync up as they don't sync like 360 controllers.
- MS should really launch this with more DLC. This was my wife biggest complain that there were just not enough songs to choose from. (Though what offer was very good selection).
- the lack of lyrics or at least pitch bar for you own music really confuse people
- the basic interface is not as intuitive. (especially when you are drunk) and since this game is gear for the causual they really should have make the interface more easier to use. (what's there is not bad but it could be better).
Overall it's a fun as party / casual games for Xbox 360.
I am hoping the game is semi-successful and warrant improve version next year like Scene it! and bigger DLC selection. MS has Zune, I don't understand why they dont make the two intergrate better. Buy just song on Zune for $.99 or get Lips version for extra $.99 and get lyrics and video , is a win-win. MS really need to work on their Live anywhere initiative more...
