Very, Very Compelling
Keiichi Yano, chief creative officer on XBox karaoke game Lips, discussing how the game would handle importing players’ own music collections:
No word on how they’ll implement lyrics or a beat chart for the songs, though Yanno promised it would be “very, very compelling.”
How “very, very compelling” worked out:
The gameplay with imported songs doesn’t provide as good of a karaoke experience, because you won’t have lyrics to sing along nor will the songs have displayed pitch “tubes” to help you on unfamiliar passages.
