Destructoid: Yesterday, I bought my girlfriend Lips. It's a karaoke game in the SingStar mold, developed by the brilliant minds at iNiS Corp., most notably tied to the Elite Beat Agents and Gitaroo Man. I'm not much of a singer unless I'm in the shower and the apartment is empty, but my girlfriend loves the genre.
I noticed as she was playing over a two-hour span (while I was working in the office, writing news for all of you) that she earned several hundred Achievement points within that small timeframe. Because I'm invested in my Gamerscore, I thought I would turn on the title while I was alone this morning. Lo and behold, Achievements are easy to come by ... if you're willing to sing or cheat.
The team from This Is My Joystick look at their guilty gaming pleasures.
Deus Ex: Invisible War,LEGO Games,Lips, Boogie Bunnies and Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance are a few that get a mention.
With music franchises such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Lips continuously pumping out content it can be a little daunting just thinking about all the songs and devotion you need to pour into each music game. Erik Johnsen delves into the assortment of old and new music games/content and whether they warrant excitement and the hype.
i think the whole music simulation genre is slowing down in popularity
it was an amazing way to experience new&old music but now its not much more than greedy companies competing to get the next sequel out as fast as possible with little innovation
Fancy yourself as the as the new lead singer in timeless West End shows such as “Cats” or the “Phantom of the Opera”, wowing crowds and being a part of some of the greatest shows on earth?
My sister is getting this for Christmas hope its good but most of all a decent download music store hint Singstar!!!
Lips LOL what a FLOP!! Another failed attempt by Microsoft trying to copy SONY and FAILING BADLY.
What a Flop, this is embaressing.
Lets see "Boku" win GOTY.
That's one epic fail. The fun part with games like Singstar and Guitar Hero is that you need skill to be good at them.
lol odd.
