Lips
About the Game
Lips is a singing game in the vein of Sony's SingStar series of games. Much like the popular past time of karaoke, players sing along to the lyrics of songs that are displayed on-screen. The game also judges you based on pitch, earning you points based on how accurately you sang. At certain points in the game, players are prompted to perform gestures with the microphone (such as tilting it upwards).
Gameplay & Core Systems
At any time during solo play, a second player can shake their wireless mike to create a multiplayer game. VS mode is a battle for the highest score, while Co-Op has players working together to achieve a high score. If both players trigger Star Stream simultaneously in co-op, their star bonuses are doubled. There are also special game modes for those who want to try something different: in Kiss, the on-screen couple gets closer together the better that both players sing. Players who don't want to sing can still participate by using a controller as a Noise Maker.
