I can't wait to get my lips on this one!
Lips Release Date and Track Listing
News | October 23, 2008 10:20 am
Alright, so I haven't heard a lot about Lips; I know that it is a karaoke game, and that it is the subject of much jeering by many. Be that as it may, I am a sucker for karaoke. Get a couple beers in me and a mic, and I'll make an ass out of myself all night! Plus, me and my girl love the vocals on Rock Band and Rock Band 2, so there is no doubt in my mind that I will eventually pick Lips up.
Lips is setting up for a November release, November 21, to be specific. It will retail for $69.99, and comes complete with not one, but two wireless microphones. If those mics work with Rock Band, then I will be one happy camper! If singing isn't your game, but you have a girl/wife that loves it, you will be able to pick up a controller and play along with a variety of percussion instruments. The game has said to feature both vocal coop and competitive modes, so you can see just how your vocal prowess stacks up against friends and family.
The game is set to feature 40 songs, a measly playlist when compared to the likes of Rock Band or Guitar Hero, who set the standards for games in the music genre. However, after doing a little reading I found a startling ability to be able to sing along to your own songs by way of connecting an MP3 player to your 360. Now that peaks my interest. The default song list includes:
-a-ha "Take on Me"
-Alicia Keys "No One"
-Aly & AJ "Potential Break Up Song"
-Avril Lavigne "Complicated"
-Ben E. King "Stand by Me"
-Beyonc "Irreplaceable"
-Blondie "Call Me"
-Chris Brown "With You"
-Coldplay "Yellow"
-Depeche Mode "Personal Jesus"
-Destiny's Child "Survivor"
-Dido "White Flag"
-Duffy "Mercy"
-Duran Duran "Hungry Like the Wolf"
-John Denver "Take Me Home, Country Roads"
-Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire"
-Leona Lewis "Bleeding Love"
-Lil' Mama "Lip Gloss"
-Lupe Fiasco (featuring Matthew Santos) "Superstar"
-Maroon 5 "Makes Me Wonder"
-Nirvana "In Bloom"
-Peter Bjorn and John "Young Folks"
-Queen "Another One Bites the Dust"
-R.E.M. "The One I Love"
-Radiohead "Fake Plastic Trees"
-The Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated"
-Rascal Flatts "Stand"
-Rihanna "Umbrella"
-Roxette "Listen to Your Heart"
-Sara Bareilles "Love Song"
-Sheryl Crow "Soak Up the Sun"
-Taylor Swift "I'm Only Me When I'm With You"
-The Bangles "Walk Like an Egyptian"
-The Fray "Over My Head (Cable Car)"
-The Jackson 5 "ABC"
-The Police "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"
-The Raveonettes "Love in a Trashcan"
-Trace Adkins "Ladies Love Country Boys"
-Weezer "Island in the Sun"
-Young MC "Bust a Move"
I know and actually like more songs on that list than I would care to admit. And at the fear of bringing my sexuality into question, I will say that after doing some reading I am definitely interested in checking out Lips. I may be too busy slaughtering Locust in November, but it is a good item to round off a small Christmas List!

Picture throwing a Lips party for your closest friends where everyone sings and grooves to a vast array of music backed by the original music video, lyrics and scoring.

All 40 songs on disc are ready to play right out of the box, and Lips delivers great tracks from a wide range of musical genres that will set the stage for evenings of fun and entertainment with friends and family.
Regardless of whether you consider yourself a singer or typically shy away from the microphone, theres something for everyone in Lips, including the following:
Party Games. Lips has a variety of gameplay modes that will appeal to the gamer in all of us and possibly spark a little competition, while allowing you to experience and interact with your music in fun, new ways:
Kiss is the epitome of singing and flirting your way to a sweet reward, where duos who hit the notes and gestures together meet in the middle to share a kiss. Are you a match?
Vocal Fighters appeals to the competitor in all of us by pitting singers in one-on-one competition to win the most fans and boot one another off the stage. Its a sing-off!
Time Bomb is a cooperative mode where players work together to perform well and stave off a time bomb. The clock is ticking!
Music videos. Lips has a variety of engaging music videos that enhance the game outside the original videos included with most songs:
Virtual Music Videos. The more you get into your performance, the better the video. An in-game virtual music video will enhance your performance because the screen will mirror your moves and the characters will lip-sync along with you.
Custom Music Videos. These unique, quirky videos add a humorous element to your routine and provide a music video for songs that may not have one.
Freestyle Mode. Lips also allows you to use digital rights management-free songs from your own music collection when singing or playing any of the Party Games. Sing along to your music collection and play up your gestures to add to your score, while a virtual music video accompanies your performance. It is as simple as plugging in your compatible MP3 player. Lyrics will not display for songs from your music collection. For a list of compatible music players, visit http://www.xbox.com/lips.
