Lips: Number One Hits Headed To Glittery Microphones This Fall

It's time to dig out the parachute pants and eat some California Raisins.  The recently rumored sequel to co-op karaoke game Lips has officially been announced.  Titled Lips: Number One Hits, the game will include only songs that reached #1 on the charts.  Not much has been said about gameplay changes, making Number One Hits sound more like an expansion, and not a true sequel. 

A few songs from the game have been revealed already.  MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" will be an embarassing pleasure of mine.  "Karma Chameleon" represents early 80s pop quite nicely.  Extreme's "More Than Words", Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", and "Pretty Woman" by the awesome Roy Orbison are obvious inclusions.  There's also some band named Coldplay, too, I'm sure all you whippersnappers recognize them.  Now get off my lawn!

No word yet as to whether the DLC from the first title will be compatible, but I'd predict it will be.  Hopefully they'll pull a Rock Band 2 and let you export all the songs on the Lips disc!  Lips: Number One Hits is headed to your Xbox 360 this October, but in the meantime, check out the announcement trailer.

· “Oh, Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison: this song was inspired by Orbison’s wife as she “walked down the street” to the store and Orbison finished writing the song by the time she returned

“Lips: Number One Hits” and the original “Lips” game combine to create the ultimate singing party, with more songs to keep the fun rocking all night long. But for singers with an insatiable appetite for variety, both the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the in-game Get Music Store feature a vast library of tunes that can be downloaded for both titles.
