Lips mic won't work with other music titles News

Xbox 360 News by Ellie Gibson

17 November, 2008

The microphones that come bundled with Xbox 360 karaoke title Lips won't be compatible with other music games - at least not to begin with.

That's according to Lips creator Keiichi Yano. Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, he said the mics can't be used to play Rock Band and Guitar Hero because they are wireless; it's not just as simple as plugging them in.

However, Yano said, a patch could be released to resolve the issue in future - but that will be up to Neversoft and Harmonix. "I hope so. It's not something we can do, obviously," he stated.

"I mean, I hope so for Rock Band, Guitar Hero. It won't work out of the box but it's relatively easy to kind of get it going."

Lips is out this Friday. Expect our review very soon, and check out the gamepage for our hands-on impressions.

I was expecting this. Cross-compatible wireless mics would have been worth shouting about but MS have been very quiet. I might have bought it otherwise.

I'll be getting RB2 Solus on Friday. Anybody have any recommmendations for a decent mic?

You can use the 360 headset as a mic, just so you know

I thought RB and GHWT only work with Logitech's pile-of-arse USB microphones and the pile-of-arse-for-singing headset. Hopefully you can use others though.

They work with any USB microphone, which is all the RB mic is.

Really a shame about the Microphones not working with RB though. That's pretty much cost it a sale.

@Flightrisker: You need to download the MANLUV add-on from the Shop Channel. It's 400 Wii Points and MY EYES OH GOD MY EYES D:

It's because Microsoft are complete dicks about being the only people who can write and maintain wireless drivers, right?

Its because Harmonix and Neversoft are complete dicks for not asking Microsoft to release the wireless microphone before Lips

If you are playing on PS3, the SingStar mics work with RB and GHWT (just the blue one of the two).
