MondoXbox: With Lips: I Love the 80s developers keep unchanged the backbone of the first Lips and proposes a substantial modification of the music library in pure style years 80.
Console Monster writes: "When we think of the 80s, we think dodgy porn star moustaches and big hair dos. Pretty much the fashion disasters of yesteryear are bundled in this latest instalment of Lips for everyone to reminisce over.
And why not? The 1980s was a decade to remember, with some cracking music and the arrival of the discotheque (or nightclub for younger readers). This was the decade we went crazy for music and strived to look like the latest pop star to grace Top of the Pops on a Friday night. Aside from the crazy dance moves and jump-suits, you can be promised one thing from this disc based expansion for Lips, and that is pure fun."
NZGamer writes: "The last time I reviewed a Lips game, I deemed it to be full of interesting ideas, but ultimately lacking compared to SingStar. The core gameplay just wasn’t as simple and crisp, so it didn’t matter how many flashy bells and whistles they threw at it.
But that’s in the past. I have now played Lips: I Heart the 80s, and it’s an improvement, even if the name is a bit silly."
Lips is a karaoke style game from iNiS and Microsoft Game Studios which allows you to sing along to your favourite songs using a microphone by yourself or with friends. Lips Classics and Lips I Love the ‘80s are the newest ones of the Lips series and add more songs to your collection.
Lips Party Classics also adds the ability to use a USB microphone as well as the Xbox 360 ones and adds more achievements and avatar awards. Lips Party Classics does away with the Jukebox mode from the original, instead you have the option to build up a continuous playlist from the menu.
Party Classics has also been given a facelift and has an enhanced recording feature allowing you to save your performances and watch them back.
