Music and Gaming Via a Revolutionary Controller Like the music that inspired it, DJ Hero allows players to experience music in a new revolutionary way through through its game-specific controller. Included with the DJ Hero software, the DJ Hero controller is a combination turntable and mixer that immerses you into authentic DJ culture allowing you to scratch, cross-fade, and beat match. The turntable half of the controller features three color-coated buttons used to direct action during gameplay and a realistically rotating turntable. The opposite end of the controller contains the mixer controls in the form of a lateral fader allowing for switching between tracks and mixing, a knob for additional effects and a button for capturing “euphoria,” a star power-like point bonus. In addition, the mixer portion of the controller detaches to accommodate left-handed players and contains an out of the way compartment holding a D-pad and conventional controller buttons for easy console navigation. Taken together, both halves of the controller allow players to customize their mix with a variety of effects and samples transforming a face in the crowd into the life of the party. Gameplay Gameplay in DJ Hero is reminiscent to games in the Guitar Hero series. Musical prompts stream towards players on one of three color-coded ribbons; red and blue which correspond to the two tracks that the player is able to simultaneously or individually manipulate, as well as a red one between these two, used to insert samples. In addition to hitting individual notes and samples, players are also challenged to scratch on command by pressing the appropriate button for the track and sliding the turntable up or down as indicated on the ribbon. The game also provides players with a chance to turn back the clock on earlier action via its “Rewind” feature. This ability is monitored via the rewind meter that levels higher with successful play, and and when full allows the player to rewind the song to fix errors in their earlier performance. The reward for precision is the build up of points, which can be temporarily doubled via euphoria power with the push of a button on the mixer end of the controller. Rule the Hottest Parties In the tradition of Guitar Hero, which brought gamers into the world of rock ‘n’ roll, DJ Hero places players in the DJ booth at some of the hottest clubbing scenes from around the globe. Party in venues reminiscent of real world locales from around the globe including an ultra plush and sexy Hollywood Hills style mansion, to an open air beach club in Ibiza. Play Modes Although DJ Hero contains engrossing single player game options, including a career mode, much of the action in the game surrounds its wealth of multiplayer modes. These include both online and offline multiplayer competitive and cooperative modes: including DJ vs. DJ, DJ + DJ and DJ + Guitar. Set List The DJ Hero set list is constructed of 100 songs, crafted into more than 80 two-song DJ mixes. These mixes are the product of both the creative talents of internationally known DJs such as DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip, DJ AM and Daft Punk and the game development team. All songs used are new to the Guitar Hero family of games and are pulled from a wide array of genres, including pop, grunge, soul, R&B, techno, hip hop, and house.

Just bought this game and I can easily say that I was instantly addicted. It’s a-lot of fun and pretty easy to pick up and play, however it will require practice to truly master it. Some of the song mixes you will find yourself humming around the house long after playing the game. I highly recommend it!

This game has some very craftily remixed and mash-up songs that will delight any dance music lover.
The gameplay is very challenging even for an expert turntablist. Medium difficulty shouldn’t challenge anyone who is an actual dj, but that’s where the ease stops.
Once you get used to how to depress the 3 buttons on the vinyl while “scratching” the fun begins. I only wish the platter was 12″ as it would give it a better “feel” to the real thing, but understanding that it’s just a controller I got over it. Being able to switch over to lefty mode is a nice feature as well to give yourself some “timing” practice with the other hand.
I don’t have a whole lot else to say about the game, but I highly recommend it if you love all the other rhythm games and you like the added sound of some expertly placed scratches in the music.
Enjoy!

Ok, This game is great. I was waiting for a R&B/Hip-Hop answer for the Guitar Hero and Rock Band. So it’s here and I love it. I had Guitar Hero World Tour and it was cool, but some of the music I didn’t relate to. I grew up listening to R&B and Hip-Hop, don’t get me wrong I love all music but this is what I can really get into.
This game is fun because when you first begin you go thru a training tutorial of everything that you will do in the game. This game is merely hand/eye coordination and that’s it. It’s fun and not hard at all. The turntable looks pretty basic at first sight but it’s is pretty loaded with stuff once you begin playing the game (it keeps you busy). Gee wiz, after I played a couple of hours I felt the numbing and stiffening in my left hand for keeping up with all of the streams of music. All and all it’s very additive and fun.
The gameplay is really good too, I love how the crowd gets all amped up and they start “raising the roof” which makes you get more into the flow and that really helps you stay focused on hitting the right streams because you don’t want to let the crowd down. The better you do the more points and stars you accumulate. The stars are critical because that is how you get “paid in pull” and unlock other Dj’s, turntables and venues. . . there is so much more to unlock but I can’t remember all of them.
Overall, I say buy it ($120). It will keep everyone happy for a while, It think it has a high replay value. I really appreciate DJH because I love the music and there is so much variety from the music library in the game. I read that Eminem is looking to have an expansion package in the future with more tracks and I can’t wait. I see I’m the only 5 star review thus far. I know there will be many more.
Thanks for checking out my review!

So we were very excited about this game coming out. We initially bought the renegade version, and realized a few hours later it wasn’t worth the $80 difference. The added cd is just a musical cd, we thought it added some music to the game. . . but no! We already own all the music from these guys that we want. So in essence we got a stand for $80. My boyfriend is 6′4″, so we thought it may be worth it. Once again wrong. I stood up playing it for all of 2 minutes, then decided to put my feet up on the ottoman and sit it in my lap. Much easier! Even if you don’t do that, buy a $7 TV dinner tray from Walmart and put it on there. We now have the cheaper one, and the difference back. Overall besides that the game is fun. One annoying feature though. In some songs there is this really annoying high pitched ringing sound. I don’t know how to make it stop. I guess it’s part of the “party” noises. . . but it’s really annoying. I initially thought it was our smoke detector going off. The noise goes in and out on some songs, and it’s completely gone in others. All that said we enjoy the game. Nice alternative to all the boy shooting, sports, and fighting games.
