The Official Singstar Thread

Recommended Posts

Can't be arsed to make a new thread.

Going up tesco to buy Lips for the Xbox360 later...any opinions on it from people that have bought it?

The wireless mics are a massive plus. No doubt about it.

They have very much used the singstar template with the note bars and the lyrics. They have however added a bouncing ball to the top of the lyrics and added the lyrics to the start of each bar or series of bars so you know when exactly when the new word starts. I like this, especially when a word may stretch over a few bars (notes).

Prompts pop on the screen as to when to move your mic such as clap your hands above your head, tilt the mic up etc. This is shite as it usually appears halfway through a lyrical line when you are too busy singing to notice. Being male as well means I can only do one thing at once.

You can also shake the mic or hit the buttons on the normal controller to make a drum, tambourine and finger click sound. Why you may want to do this is beyond me at the minute.

You can also call up songs stored on an external device such as your ipod or a computer on the network. I am told you can search a site through Xbox Live for the lyrics for the song so the note bars appear but haven't got that far yet. I have sung to a song stored on my computer and all you do is hum along and you get loads of points which is a bit crap as it cant differentiate between notes in the song and lyrics but as I say more investigation is needed here.

The downloads from Xbox Live are limited at the moment but you dont have to buy packs. You can buy individual songs which is better. Songs are 160 points each or £1.25 each. You can also earn free points by registering your music on their site. Again this needs looking into as I have only grabbed the free song so far which I cant find in the lips menu.

Overall I would say it is an enhanced version of singstar but your not missing anything worth having at the moment.

That makes Singstar the winner then.

I also have Billie Jean on one of the discs. You also have to do the "oooooooh"'s and "eeeeeeeeeee"'s. It's a good job I was already taking the piss, otherwise I would have missed them.
