@Pocolashon I don't know why you think I thumbed you down.. I don't care what those thumbs say at all. And yes, I have. And before Lips, I used to have Singstar at parties. Not only did I have to switch discs, but reload the whole game! Not to mention each disc only had 25 songs or so. So yeah, I know how it is, and I know it's not a big deal. And do you own both Lips games and have you compared them yourself? Do you use all the features? The old one just kept on loading all my songs for ages, you had to manually import each song you wanted to play from a USB device and the whole interface was slower. I really don't know where you're going with your 3rd paragraph really. You're making such fuss about switching discs that's ridiculous. Also, to everyone commenting on Singstar being better.. This news isn't about Singstar now is it? ;P
Lips sings Party Classics March 2
Microsoft's Xbox 360-exclusive karaoke rhythm game brings 40 new on-dics tracks from Spice Girls, KISS, Village People, more; January DLC detailed.
Microsoft's big push into the casual market will come later this year with the launch of its camera-based motion-sensing add-on currently known as Project Natal. However, that isn't the only motion-sensing product the publisher has aimed at the casual market. Today, Microsoft announced that its motion-sensing mic-equipped karaoke franchise Lips will expand in North America on March 2 with the launch of Party Classics. The game will land in Europe beginning February 26.
As with previous installments in the franchise, Party Classics integrates with a wireless, motion-sensing microphone that syncs up with the various songs in the game to create unique light displays. Notably, Party Classics introduces the ability to use third-party USB microphones, such as those that come with Activision's and Electronic Arts' respective Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises.
Party Classics features 40 on-disc songs. Artists slated to appear in the game include the Spice Girls, KISS, Village People, Tiffany, Gloria Gaynor, The B-52s, and Chumbawumba. The game also supports Avatars and Avatar rewards, as well as the customary set of achievements and other features.
Microsoft also today announced the lineup of Lips' weekly downloadable content for January. Included in the lineup are tunes from Death Cab for Cutie, The Miracles, Fleetwood Mac, The Cardigans, and more. Tracks run for MSP 160 ($2) a piece, with The Miracles and The Cardigans song packs available for MSP 440 ($5.50) a piece. January's full lineup of DLC can be found below.
