Good Price for a Good Game
I am a big GH fan, so this game was a no-brainer for me. Still, the original price (which was as high as 0 at one point) was a major put off. Thankfully, the price has dropped to a manageable ( if on special), so it's now feasible.

The game itself is fantastic. GH players will understand the mechanic very easily, but it takes time to master it. There are only three buttons to be used with the right hand, together with scratches and rewinds. The left hand governs "cross-fading" and effects, together with "euphoria" (read, star power).

The game loses an overall star because of cross-fading. I realize it was probably difficult to determine how to create the so-called cross-fading bar, but it is problematic. The idea is to slide a bar left and right in order to determine what mix feed plays at a given time. The bar, however, is rather finicky, and on expert level, it can be difficult to put the bar in the right place (particularly for the cross-fading "spikes," which I won't bother to explain.

The mixes in the game are excellent, although I would have liked a few more songs to be mixed (particularly from the rock category - I'm not up on my hip-hop). Unfortunately, the same songs often get mixed twice (and sometimes three times), so expect to hear the tunes again. Still, it is fun to listen to, and although I didn't know many of the songs, I enhjoyed most of them.

The main reason this game is fun to me is that it has an easy-to-learn, but hard-to-master mechanic. If you've played any among of GH, you'll blow through the tutorials with no trouble, but the mixes themselves are not easy. It takes time to open later mixes, so you have plenty of opportunity to practice.

Finally, the trophies are mostly easy, but getting 5 stars on every expert mix is no joke.

All in all, this is a good game, and a welcome break from the glut of GH/ROck Band games we've come to have. I await the sequel to this far more than, say, "Rock Band: Green Day."

One of the best games ever!
Let me just start by saying I HATE the guitar hero and rock band games. I think they're stupid and they have never appealed to me, I figured DJ hero would be the same even though I've been a huge fan of dance music and djing for 10 years now. I'm very picky about the music I listen to and I dont like most of the "mainstream" garbage so I never gave this game a second thought.

That is until my cousin, who is a dj, got the game and was playing it when I was over at his house. He couldn't stop talking about how cool the music and the mixes were. We decided to buy the game because it looked pretty fun and the music did sound pretty cool.

I have not been able to stop playing it! We bought it on Sunday night around 8 and I was up until about 1am playing even tho I had work the next day. I drove all the way home on my lunch just to play it for 20 minutes before going back to work! The music is UNBELIEVABLE! The first sets were really cool and I didnt think the later sets were going to be able to top some of the sick mixes in the first ones but oh my god, the mashups are so ridiculously awesome. The music alone makes this game worth buying, I'm a huge fan of good dance music, I'd even consider myself a techno snob of sorts and this game does not disapoint even someone with really high standards!

The beginning sets are of course easier than the later sets and I figured that the farther I got into the game, the harder it would get and the less I would like it or the less fun it would be but it's actually the complete opposite. In the beginning you have fewer buttons to hit and fewer scratches etc. and then the songs get more and more complex which makes it even more fun because you can get more into it and actually hit buttons with the beat and its faster which you'd think would make it harder but it just makes it more fun and actually more easy for me personally.

Needless to say I will be playing this game for a long time to come and I cant wait until they come out with more downloadable content and new songs (we already bought all the DLC available and its awesome)

It's super fun and super addictive. A+++ game!

Great game
Dj hero is a nice and funny game! Sometimes to handle the turntable can be difficult especially if you do not play in easy level! I wish the game could have more house music songs, but in any case songs are good and the versions you made are so cool!

Not like I expected
Good game for people that are into pop music.
Its confuseing at first to learn how to play unless you do the tutorials.
I was expecting more eminem/jay z mixes due to the commercial but to get all those mixes you either have to buy the renegade edition or purchase more packs off the playstation network.
I really aint that crazy about DJ Hero. I am a guitar hero fan and DJ Hero was sort of a let down.

Great Game! Fun and Addicting!

So I played Guitar Hero on demo and was quite impressed, it was fun and I enjoyed it. So i went into the market immediately and after reviewing I found that Dj Hero would be more to my liking and I am definitely satisfied. Easy to setup with a simple switch for leftys and rightys, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone (especially if you ever wanted to be a dj) Forewarning: I have never been a dj so I have no idea what it feels like to be one but this game brings my dj fantasy to life!


Pros:

1)Great music!! Lots of great mixing of various rock and hip hop tracks.

2)Loads of unlockables!! Has different venues, dj clothes and decks (turntables for your selected dj) to unlock.

3)They have a mode that teaches you the game very quickly. They also have easy mode which anybody can play, all the way to expert which is the best because it makes you feel like an actual dj.

Cons:

1)No create a dj. Many people probably dont care about this but they should think about adding it. Many people like to see themselves in the game via created player.

2)Rewind messes up your multiplier at times. You rewind the turntables and are unable to pick up where you left off thus ruining you multiplier at times.

3)Dj dances uncontrollably while you are vigorously scratching away at times. Kinda funny and not that huge a deal but should be an easy fix.

Overall I would give it 4.5/5 I will definitely be getting part 2 later this year!

Comparable to Guitar Hero
I thought this was a wonderful game overall. Gameplay and controls were great(just took practice). It is fun to play along with a guitar, but only on certain songs are you able to do this. I Like the song mixs, and thought they were great.

Great game
I had wanted this for a while and finally got it for Christmas. I love it. It is fun and my husband even plays it with me. Great music!

Super Fun for Everyone
I bought this as a valentines day present for my wife (yeah im a typical guy who buys presents like that what about it!) well she is not much of a gamer but absolutely loves this game! Now if only I could get her to share...

Awesome!!
I got DJ Hero for my 10 yr old son and he loves it. He was able to follow the directions easily, which was a concern to me due to his young age. It is a great game to interact with family and friends. We recommend it to everyone!

dj hero
