At launch, Lips: Number One Hits will offer new and improved singing features to increase the fun, including:

New Gameplay Challenges

• Scoring: Be a superstar singer and build up your combo meter when you nail those notes. Consistency and accuracy are essential to achieving top billing in score and rank. The longer you can sing perfectly for continued periods, the higher your score will be.
• Leaderboard Rankings: New in-game rankings mean you can literally see how much you're rocking out during a song, with the active Leaderboard feature that ranks you as you sing. Nail the performance, and your ranking will fly up.   
• Prize Cups: Share in the glory with your friends by winning Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond prize cups.

Getting Into the Game

• Timed Play: Your Xbox LIVE Avatars jump into the on-screen video when the time is right to show you how to use your Xbox 360® wireless microphone's motion-sensing technology to perform a song-specific gesture, such as clapping your hands or strumming an air guitar. Use the light-up mics to shake, clap, and kick it up a notch for timed percussion segments while you sing.

Styling It Up with Your Avatar

• Unlockable Accessories: Deck out your Avatar with fun, new accessories through the Dashboard Avatar editor and show off those duds in the game and to your friends on Xbox LIVE. Unlock exclusive accessories by singing your way to them. Your Avatar guides you through the timed gestures, so your virtual alter ego is sure to be the hit of the party!

To keep those singing sessions fresh, Lips: Number One Hits will also let singers purchase Game Add-on songs releasing each week on Xbox LIVE via the Sing main menu. The new Hot Tracks feature also lets you preview downloadable songs, along with their original music videos. Lips: Number One Hits makes it even easier to see and find your favorite music so you can jump immediately into your songs, and will be available this fall.
