Festive songs available for Lips News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

5 December, 2008

Microsoft has decided to celebrate Christmas with a number of downloadable festive songs for Lips, some of which are out today.

Each song promises "a unique custom holiday video to really bring out the spirit of the season", along with other custom videos.

"Pricing starts at 160 Microsoft Points", which is GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.92. That certainly brings out the spirit of the season for our money.

Lips, which launched in Europe last month, is an iNiS-developed Xbox 360 alternative to Sony's multi-million-selling SingStar, which offers wireless microphones and various gameplay tweaks beyond the traditional pitch-and-rhythm singalong stuff.

You can see what we made of it in our Lips review or, if you already know, just download some songs, innit.

5th December:

  • Andy Williams - "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"
  • Elvis Presley - "Blue Christmas"
  • Sister Hazel - "The Dreidel Song"

12th December:

  • Barenaked Ladies - "Hanukkah Blessings"
  • Bing Crosby - "White Christmas"
  • Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"
  • Burl Ives - "A Holly Jolly Christmas"
  • Gene Autry - "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"
  • Kylie Minogue - "Santa Baby"
  • Nat King Cole - "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)"

Some people are never happy... cheer up mate. It's Christmas after all.

Saying that, a little bit of Slade wouldn't go a miss.

Will have a look tonight, is there a song I can test it on? Although I would have thought that there would be different versions based on your location. I know the UK track lisitng is quite different from the the US one which contains some country and western tracks, thank god.

I was quite surprised that all the songs available for purchase so far have been in English (at least for the Spanish version).
While personally, I think that's a good thing, I'd have thought that they'd include a smattering of local market material too (as they did in the playlist that shipped with the game itself)

And yes, they really need to get more songs out there fast (but I'm sure they already know that!) if they don't want people consigning the game to the shelf.

as has already been said, a more diverse line up on the DLC will see this game really gain some momentum. its better than singstar in a lot of ways, but singstar's obviously much bigger back catalogue makes it a better bet.

That's a pretty poor, half-arsed selection of Christmas songs.

As a big Singstar fan I was quite taken with Lips. Haven't quite given it the full workout with friends and alcohol yet though.
More DLC songs would be great and clinch the deal for me as I don't have/want a PS3 and the PS2 has been retired.
I was quite impressed by the seamless way it pulled in songs from my networked computer's iTunes too, and in early demonstrations it seems iNIS hinted that it had ideas on how to dynamically pull lyrics in too. I imagine Microsoft nixed that as there would be little reason to pay for the DLC!

My missus had 4 friends round last night and put it through its paces. 4 women + Lips + booze = a bloody loud noise!

I was down the pub most of the night, but could clearly hear them having a blast (either that or a bunch of cats being tortured), halfway down the street on my way back!

It's the neighbours I feel sorry for....
