Amazon.co.uk Review
Proving that the Xbox 360 isn’t just for hardcore fans of shooters and racing games, Lips offers a karaoke extravaganza that should appeal to fans of the popular SingStar range. The basics work the same as any karaoke game: You sing along to a wide range of music videos, trying to match the same pitch and tone as the original.
 Each song comes with the original music video |  Keep the rhythm, and watch the game rate your peformance |  Mercy by Duffy is just one of the many songs included |  Pick your favourite tune, or download more from Xbox Live | Lips comes bundled with motion-sensitive microphones, so how you move--not just how you sing--also becomes a part of game play. Other people without microphones can join in, too, using standard Xbox 360 controllers for virtual claps, cowbells, and other accompaniments. You aren't restricted to singing just the songs that are included on the game disc. You can sing along to any of the .MP3 files stored on your Xbox 360's hard drive. "Lips" should ensure more than a few fun party moments--even if the neighbours do complain. Key Features - Sing along: Croon to the original music videos for songs from the likes of Duffy, Young MC, and Peter Bjorn and John.
- Motion mics: The game comes bundled with two unique motion-sensing microphones, which allow you to dance or play an instrument as you sing.
- My song: Sing along to songs from your own .MP3 collection by selecting any piece of music stored on the hard drive of your Xbox 360 or networked PC.
- Hi-tech chorus: Up to four people can join in on the same song, either as a duet or by using a controller to simulate a tambourine, cowbell, or other accompaniment.
- Greatest hits: Download new songs and music videos from Xbox Live to keep your stable of songs updated with the latest tracks or golden oldies.

Dissappointing, buy SingStar instead November 21, 2008

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.
