so it's just sing star with a motion sensor gimmick
waynski1457 @ Jul 14th 2008 1:34PM
I personally don't care what it is, it's iNiS so I'll probably buy it day one and import the Japanese version w/ better songs...
baby sea tuna @ Jul 14th 2008 1:36PM
SingStar ripoff, confirmed!
T @ Jul 14th 2008 1:46PM
It's karaoke. Not exactly rocket science.
hhhenryhhh @ Jul 14th 2008 1:33PM
so the rumored new motion sensitive controller is this mic?
Jakka @ Jul 14th 2008 1:37PM
Who gives a shit?
We have Guitar Hero 4, Rock Band & 2 and Singstar.
Ever since Harmonix decided to fuck the idea of making Rock Band a single gaming set fueled by a five-year supply of DLC and decided to release Rock Band 2 a year later, I've lost all my hope for this genre.
It'll become oversaturated just like FPS's and Adventure Games.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 14th 2008 1:41PM
Motion sensitive presumably means you can activate "star power" by lifting the mic (see icon on that screenshot with man with mic over his head).
Hmm. I'd love to see more innovation and less duplication.
Joystick Hero @ Jul 14th 2008 1:47PM
Just judging by the picture there, I'm guessing that singing up into the microphone by holding it upside-down will have some kind of effect attached to it. Perhaps something like overdrive/star power?
Joystick Hero @ Jul 14th 2008 1:50PM
Yay for comments appearing late.
Oh well, at least I'm not the only person with that train of thought.
FOXHOUND @ Jul 14th 2008 2:04PM
It's okay. You've got an icon of Doc Brown. :]
reign-♥-of-♥-love @ Jul 14th 2008 2:07PM
well that song is by duffy. called Mercy. never heard of it. what kind of song is it?
Seroth @ Jul 14th 2008 3:38PM
I, personally, am looking very forward to this, now that it's confirmed that you can use your own songs.
Ethan @ Jul 14th 2008 4:51PM
why is being a poser necessary?
