Yep. Unless you want to prepare a binder full of lyrics sheets

Wow....Gotta say I'm impressed. I've already got Singstar PS3 but I'll be picking this up for sure, that way I only have to cart the 360 around to parties.pilonv1 said:Australian exclusives:

Definitely. I'll be throwing my The Living End collection on and screaming at the top of my lungs, that's for sure.Iced_Eagle said:It's useful if there are songs you absolutely love and know the lyrics to.

Because now it's nothing different than singing aloud at home to your stereo or in the car?2 Minutes Turkish said:how?
But not so useful when you want a friend to sing with you and they may not know the lyrics as well as you do.Iced_Eagle said:It's useful if there are songs you absolutely love and know the lyrics to.

I agree about the wireless mics. Wireless mics >>> songs already in Singstar. But sexy? Really? To me they look pretty dull, except for the blinking part on the bottom, for which I wouldn't really use sexy as an adjective.cjelly said:How long has SingStar been out? Does it also come with 2 sexy wireless mics, or is that still a pipe dream? Not trying to start shit.
Those were announced a long time ago. Then there were some reports on "problems" with the bluetooth mics and then there was a whole lot of nothing.2 Minutes Turkish said:By the way, last year, a Sony rep made mention to me that wireless mics were coming for Singstar PS3, has this been scrapped?

The judging will likely be flawed because the algorithm for calculating the vocals from songs will not be perfect anyway. The fun was definitely more in being able to sing your own songs with others. The game is really now just a Singstar clone and nothing more.soco said:it's a few steps above singing along to the stereo since most people can't hear themselves out of tune and will still get judged.
I also take it you've never been to a Karaoke bar.soco said:so unless you just wanna sing the same parts, the latter isn't a huge deal,

If they suck, they suck - we'll see. But cords definetly suck, maybe not if you're singing solitary or with your partner but with more than two people (esp. the party modes) I always found the cords to be very bothersome and I never played Singstar alone or with just two people anyways.neorej said:And I'm not too crazy about the wireless mics yet. I have Scene It still in my memory, which was a Buzz-clone with wireless controllers that had massive issues (buttonpresses not being registered and even complete loss of signal). I fear another wireless debacle like that in Lips, the Singstar-clone with wireless mics. The wired mics that came with SingStar are not too bad, the cords are long enough to do your thing, you don't have to worry about batteries and there is little to no chance you lose the connection with the console.
I hope they put the other region tracks up as DLC. I'd much rather sing "Your The Voice" off the Oz version than anything by Yawnplay.Manager said:UK version added to the OP.
fr4nz said:where's the french list ?
Agreed. It reeks of safe choices. I think I'd go nuts if I had to listen to a whole night of those songs.God's Beard said:Why is the American list the worst one? No Jamiroquai or EWF = no sale.

Unless 500 Miles has been in some other game before, I don't keep track of these things. If it has, ignore this post.

Eggo said:Lips' initial songlist is much better than Singstar's. Yes, there is some overlap (especially if you count the PS2 Singstars), but that is to be expected considering we're talking about karaoke. I'd say about 10 of those 40 songs are on Singstar, not the 90% that a previous poster was alluding to. What gives me hope with Lips is that we're seeing popular American artists that are not yet on Singstar. Beyonce, Chris Brown, Leona Lewis, Sheryl Crow, Dido... it seems Lips is more in touch with the American audience than Singstar, which is more Euro/Worldwide-focused.
Manabanana said:Ohoho, never mind what I said! I guess Astley didn't make the cut. Can't say they didn't try though. Lame.
I would be that previous poster, and what I was "alluding" to was songs that I've already bought on SingStar, but to be fair I was actually more referring to songs that I already have in other games:Eggo said:Lips' initial songlist is much better than Singstar's.
