First Lips song pack is Coldplay Comments by Robert Purchese

meh

The Scientist and Speed Of Sound are great tracks.

I've got the scientist and speed of sound on singstar, and I've got In My Place on Lips itself...bah! I probably would have bought them all again had they not released In My Place as a solo track literally about 2 weeks ago

If you can buy them separate then I might get them.

Good to see they're adding that Rasmus song. Literally the worst song I've ever heard but hopefully whoever it was who I had an argument on here about a year ago with will come back for a second round! "The Rasmus are the greatest band ever!" - I don't think so sweetheart

The Rasmus have been replaced on my number one hate list by those walking anus warts "My Chemical Romance". Emo is quite possibly the worst thing to happen to rock music for generations :(

These Song packs are pretty lame for most people and prohibitively expensive resulting in most people not bothering.

While there well maybe the "Gotta have em all" fans out there I are am sure they are few and far between.

Perhaps it is an inherent difficulty of contract negotiations - but there are quite a few people now offering unlimited access for a set monthly fee.

What I propose would be much better - that would be to have complete access to ALL songs on the store for a limited time i.e. 100 or 200 points an hour or something. That way when friends come round they can choose what they want.

Still these things always smack me as something of a rip-off. 30 songs on a double layered DVD? Cheaper setting up your pc on the tv playing CDG discs. Or playing them through a karaoke player - think Argos do a serviceable one for £19.95 including microphones!

Oh dear, what will the future of British music look like if kids today are singing whiny songs about how life is so cruel to them.

^^ Like all phases, it'll pass ;)

Any news on when the Lips Mic patch is coming to RB2?

@TheBear

I think at the moment most people are concerned with whether or not they can get Rock Band 2 in the first place, as it seems to have been forgotten by everyone in the business apart from Harmonix's DLC team.

I should probably remember to pick up Lips though, just in case.

"Oh dear, what will the future of British music look like if kids today are singing whiny songs about how life is so cruel to them."

Yeah, 'cos thats never happened before.....



Note that this in no way forms an endorsement of The Rasmus (sound like a euphemism for a vd - "a spot of the rasmus on my john thomas").

^It seems to be the major feature of modern 'music' that you just need a bunch of floppy-haired twats who only wear brown clothes and play drab songs and yet everyone loves them because you can play their songs on Guitar Hero and they're on Radio 1 every 5 fucking minutes.

I'm sure music used to be fun and exciting and in some cases tackled important subjects, but doesn't ever happen anymore. Oasis won fucking band of the year from NME for coughing up the same old shit for two decades.

You know, I wonder if some of the venom comes from rock music being the new pop.

Of course that means there is plenty of pop-friendly rock music about to poison our ears. But I reckon a greater source of resentment is the feeling that if rock and metal had been the pop of OUR youth (instead of being the refuge of untrendy outcasts) we might have got more girls when we were 17 years old :)

^ I think the venom is just because Coldplay are a bunch of talentless cunts. Of course there are plenty of others out there...

Haha. Well that certainly seems to qualify as venom :)

Comes with a silly dancing tutorial for ultra realism.

Wtf? These songs are already available on XBLM! Basically it will be a week with no DLC :/

Coldplay Karaoke? Do you get extra points for imitating them with the tone deaf out-of-tune singing? If so, nice.

Here are the young men,
a weight on their shoulders
...
The sorrows we suffered
and never were freed
Where have they been

noone good then?

I got Lips for free with a Jasper Arcade from GAME, as it is £24 trade-in at the moment.

I've not opened it, and the songs available make me not want to bother. Anything good on the horizon for this game or should I just trade it in towards an Arcade wheel?

the arcade wheel is crap for most driving games (including Forza 2) - only fun I had with my wheel (before I sold it on) was with PGR 4.

Plus there's a chance it'll catch fire/start smoking LOL

Nice to see MS aren't giving up on this.

So if MS fix the scoring, will Eurogamer revise the review?

no because lips is sht

Never mind Coldplay, we want Mitch Benn, goddamnit!

NEWSFLASH: Shit music existed before, and will exist in the future. Shut up about the terrible decline that's ignored by everyone but you and enjoy the brilliance that is all around you.
