Console Monster's David Wriglesworth writes: "The Xbox 360 may have been lacking in the casual game department recently, but when Lips was confirmed at E3 2008, my faith in the department grew. If I'm honest, the Lips trailer is one of the only trailers I remember watching at the conference back in July.
The trailer showed a party with a man and a woman sitting at either end of a sofa. The man then picks up the wireless microphone and starts to sing along to Peter, Bjorn & John's 'Young Folks'. He then hands her a microphone and the two start a duet of the song. Another lady then connects a Zune to the console and the woman, still holding the microphone from before, sings along.
From this trailer alone we learnt that the ability to connect a digital music player would be present and it was confirmed that the game will feature vocal reduction and will score players based on their performance..."
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?
