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.

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!

I have always appreciated a good rhythm game and DJ hero is just that. The game boasts a good song selection for everyone hip-hop, rap, pop and a little rock. If you have listened to a radio in the past 30 years your going to recognize a majority of the songs.
Hardware- Lets start with the actual turntable its self. It looks amazing for starters. The turntable is very well constructed feeling heavy and durable. I have never spun records but I would assume this is what it would feel like. You have the normal colored buttons on the turntable. To the left or right, whichever you decide to put the mixer table, has a Fader, Effects dial, Euphoria button (that lights up when the euphoria meter is ready) and full D-pad and controller buttons.
HARDWARE
Pros- feels sturdy, heavy and durable
- Realistic feel
- Full spinning turntable
- looks amazing you wont mind having this setting on your coffee table
Cons-Buttons on turntable can become slick(from sweat or your potato chip grease stained fingers) after a while of play making the heaviness of the turntable cause you to scratch for a little to long on some parts or slip out of your hand.
- The fader has to be moved from left to right and back to the middle which is hard to do precisely since where the fader clicks in the middle can be hard to find and can become frustrating when going for a streak.
GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is a lot like all the guitar hero games. It reminds me of the Guitar Hero games as it is easy to pick up very hard to master. Most gamers who are not experienced DJ's will stick with the medium difficulty. You have a green, red and blue record stream that comes down the screen like previous guitar hero games. The green and blue are tied to the two separate tracks while the red usually controls some type of effects noises and the freestyle parts on tracks where you can add in samples(like the classic air horn noise or Flavor Flave's YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHH BOOOOOOY!) that you select from a set before you start each event. Euphoria is practically the same as star power the music gets louder, multiplier doubles and you don't have to fade the tracks in and out until the euphoria meter runs out. One of the coolest gameplay features is the rewind. Imagine your friends are watching amazed at your DJ skills (the game looks hard to play to bystanders and you really mimic a DJ to some extent) you go on a streak and acquire a rewind. The hook comes in "my name is CHICKA CHICKA SLIM SHADY" rewind..."my name is CHICKA CHICKA SLIM SHADY" and the crowd goes wild! Another great feature is the Party Play. Let the game be the background music for your next party and you can join in anytime. The game amps up the difficulty pretty quickly not enough to be annoying but definitely challenging and very rewarding. The best part of all you can't be booed off of the stage you just wont earn as many points with a bad performance. You will need stars to unlock everything. There a few songs that support the guitar hero controller for a second player to play. I haven't used this feature but I have noticed there are only a handful of songs that support it.
GAMEPLAY
Pros- great slightly familiar gameplay
-Party Play
-Rewind
Cons- Hard to stay on a streak sometimes with having to be precise on the fader parts
-you don't have the ability to record your own samples for freestyle sections and there are only 10 or so sample sets for freestyles possible more added in DLC?
-No create your own DJ you have to use the ones they provide for you that you unlock as you go but the all have a good selection of customizable clothes and tables with different skins
SET LIST
I'm going to be honest I have never really liked DJ mixes and house music all that stuff. It always seemed to me like they never get to the most memorable parts of song. Now I have a new understanding of the music genre. DJ's do this for a reason to get listeners to anticipate that classic part of the song that everybody knows. The set list is pretty massive well over a 100 songs. This seems like a lot of songs and they are all widely popular songs that most will know. Almost all of the songs are two song mixes which is what you would expect from a DJ game. You can't help but react to the music and neither can friends watching. Just like recent rhythm games you can make your own set list and either play or put the game into party play mode and jump in and out of the song if you want.
SET LIST
Pros- Huge Set list of very popular songs.
-Music that will get you moving
Cons- none really the music is what this game is about and you will enjoy it.
OVERALL
DJ hero is a game that I think will quickly gain popularity. Once people come to terms that this game is fun for solo players or with friends it will take off. The music is amazing and the first time you scratch through Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" vs. Shlomo - "Beats" or any of the other memorable songs you will think your ready for the club. This game is a buy for sure if you're on the fence don't base your experience off of a few minutes at your local best buy you wont get the full experience. It's best to set down through the tutorials and start from the beginning. If you have had dreams of DJ'ing or just like being the life of the party and appreciate some good music pick up DJ hero today.
This is my first review of the thousands of games I have played in the past 14 or 15 years of gaming so feel free to comment on my review. I plan on reviewing plenty more games in the future since I am a weekly gamestop visitor so im a pretty avid gamer I usually put in a good 20-25 hrs of gaming a week in all different genres.
