Forty singalong tracks from the likes of Culture Club, Duran Duran and Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

LONDON – 8 March 2010 - ‘Lips: I Love The 80s’, the latest title in the “Lips” franchise exclusive to Xbox 360 takes us back to a time when hair was big and shoulder pads were bigger! It’ll be grooving off the shelves from 2nd April with a retro-cool selection of your nostalgic 80s favourites that will see players fighting for the mic. The game includes 40 of the most memorable tracks of the 80s including iconic hits like Spandau Ballet’s Gold, Kim Carnes’ Bette Davis Eyes, and the feel-good classic Walking On Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves.

So put on some neon legwarmers, pull on some tight jeans, and get ready to sing like you’re back in the era that style forgot, but that music loves!

Available as a standalone title for an estimated retail price of £24.99, or bundled with one Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone for £34.99 ‘Lips: I Love The 80s’ is fully compatible with ‘Lips’, ‘Lips: Number One Hits’, and ‘Lips: Party Classics’.
