Wow they weren't kidding when they said "Party Classics". The soundtrack lives up to the billing for sure. Number One Hits was a taste of more modern music, and Party Classics gives us the big karaoke tunes. I just wish they would adopt the Rock Band methodology for exportable songs, as opposed to disc-swapping.

I never knew there was an official thread for this. I bought my original copy of Lips for $40 bucks cause it came with the two wireless microphones and I needed them for Beatles Rock Band but I had a party a while back and decided to hook up lips and have people just try out Karaoke out.

This game was a huge... HUGE hit. People were getting drunk, all singing together and actually fighting over who got to sing next. I was really surprised... I actually had to kick people out at the end of the night and had one drunk girl keep screaming at me "ONE MORE SONG!!!". But, while I was in the other room, they drained my point accounts buying new songs :(

I'm looking for a cheap version of the #1 hits.

#1 Hits also has a refined Shuffle Mode from the original, which you may find useful.

You just hit Start on the song select screen, then you never need to use the controller again. The game will pick random song, after random song, and each time you can just shake the mic to get to the next screen. :D

By the way, for those of you who bought # 1 Hits: you can redeem additional coupon codes for the other 2 song packs available, just found out by buying one at Ebay :D

I've seem them on there and have been tempted.

Some guy is selling them for £10 each. I reckon it'd be cheaper to just buy 2 copies of the game, use the codes, then sell the games on.

Also, I was wondering if anyone here got Deutsche Partyknaller? Does it have a coupon code like the others? If so, what are the songs available from it?

I'm asking because Lips: Canta en Español features a unique coupon code for 5 additional songs in spanish, so maybe they could be similar in that sense.

I really love how Lips is consistent in its delivery of Motown. It's definitely my favorite genre to sing.

My Party Classics got sent. I should have it either tomorrow or Friday.

I'll see if there are any new features in there, like the Lips>No.1 Hits transition.

Anyone find it funny that most, if not all, info that we get in advance seems to come from random German sites, rather than the official site? They haven't even listed this month's DLC.

So Party Classics turned up today, I'll just copy and paste what I put on the Xbox.com forums for those interested in impressions:

Hi everyone, I got Party Classics today (out tomorrow here in the UK), so thought I'd let you know what it's like, and ask any questions if you want.

The UI/menu system is the exact same as No.1 Hits. There are no changes that I can see.

Unlike the move from Lips to No.1 Hits, all your Challenge history from No.1 Hits remains in Party Classics. Eg, if you got 10 challenge wins in No.1 Hits, you will have 10 challenge wins in Party Classics. Good if you still need the achievement and would like to mix it up a bit with songs from both discs.

There are 2 new Avatar Awards: What I assume is a biker jacket, which you obtain for getting a Big Bang and hitting all cymbals in YMCA. There's another item for getting a Big Bang and hitting all cymbals in I Think We're Alone Now. Not sure what that one is. :p

If you have already qualified for some of the new achievements, they will unlock once you sing one song.

I think that's basically it, anyway. Like I say, it is basically No.1 Hits with new songs.

Any questions, feel free. (Yes, it is still disc swap).

The free Party Classics medley was actually pretty fun. I wish Lips had medleys as that's the only thing I miss from the Karaoke Revolution series.

Looking through the achievement list, what is the performance recording mode? I have #1 Hits but never noticed that option before.

When you have sung a song and it gives you your rating, if you hit Start, you can save your performance and then watch it back.

Ok thanks! Will have to try it out tonight.

On a sidenote, PC is coming out around the same time as Sonic/Sega/ASRacing and was wondering which one is worth buying first, based on your impressions since it appears you own both.

It depends if you have any other Lips games and how desperate you are for new songs, since this is really just a track pack.

Can't believe I Love The 80's is out this coming Friday. I've barely had chance to touch Party Classics!

I think if they are going the Singstar model (which it looks like), they need to leave a couple of months between releases, or at least start releasing more genre-specific releases, rather than just compilations of various eras.

I agree, it's been less than a month since the release of PC worldwide and they're already pumping this one out. Kinda weird if you ask me.

As a side-note, I had a HORRIBLE time finding Party Classics at my local stores, hopefully the 80s disc will have a better launch worldwide.

Does I Love the 80s have a US release date? Or is the PAL release region-free?

Not a huge fan of the franchise, but... Bette Davis Eyes? Sold.

quick note, disk swap is still here, seems a bit more seamless, but it's still intrusive, start-up is laggy as it registers all your content and that of the store (I think). Other than that it's lips

Nice releases today. I'll be getting everything but Paula since I got that with PH. If they keep releasing 80's jams as DLC.. that will hopefully hold me over until they announce the 80's disc for the states.

Also... "Drive" by The Cars is up today as well.

Ordinary World - one of my household's favorites in SingStar. Just in time for a party tonight!

Good to see that the bonus pack stuff will finally be released individually, though I already have Straight Up too.
