Is Microsoft Preparing a SingStar Clone?

Lips

Remember that game with the codename Lips that Microsoft was supposed to reveal at it’s Media Day a few months back? It seems a survey company, Intellisponse, has leaked a ton of information, including details on Microsoft’s new SingStar clone.

Lips is a music and singing game that includes 30 songs, 2 wireless interactive microphones, the ability to use and sing your own music or downloaded songs from an online service. Designed to have fun with friends, Lips scores you on your singing (pitch, rhythm, and tune) and overall performance.

Wireless mics are interactive, with lights on the shaft of the microphone that pulse to the rhythm of your voice, and motion sensors that allow you to dance, move or swing to score points.

Take songs from a CD or your ipod, and upload them into the game. The game will reduce the vocals so you can sing along and be heard, and score on whether you’re in tune. Lyrics can also be added directly into the song to sing along.

Interesting. I guess seeing the worldwide success of Sony’s karaoke games has made them want to copy the formula.  I guess we’ll find out at E3.
