Unoriginal copy of Guitar Hero does basically nothing for players. The music is HORRIBLE, the controls unwieldy, and quite honestly it is boring to play. Stay away from this waste of money if you can.

I have 18 years experience as a mobile/club DJ and was excited when this game came out, but I am extremely disappointed.It is nothing compared to real scratching.
The proper way to scratch is to have your fingers on the edge of the platter or record when you move it back and forth adjusting the amount of pressure quickly and slowly. This is very difficult to do because of the 3 buttons in the middle of the game controller. The 3 buttons should be where the crossfader is and not on the platter itself. because of this awkward control,the game does a poor job emulating the feel of a real vinyl. Another problem is that the mixer and turntable are not reversible to accommodate either left or right handed scratchers. AND WHY ONLY 1 TURNTABLE!? EVERY DJ SETUP I EVER SAW USES 2. Check out Crackin DJ on youtube and you will see how much better it is compared to DJ Zero…I mean Hero!

I was SO excited to be able to review the review sample version of DJ Hero. This version came with a wired controller and three playable mixes (one set), along with the tutorial. I was excited about the musical artists who would appear: Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Gorrilaz, Benny Benassi and Rick James to name a few. I like this kind of music just as much if not more than I like the rock music that appears in similar music games. The game can even be played along with a Guitar Hero guitar controller, mixing DJing with guitar. I believe that is the only way that two players can jointly play. At any rate, as someone who enjoys electronic music and has been to a few clubs in her day, I thought it would be great fun.
Grandmaster Flash led the tutorial and while he was great, the tutorial was not. It was a little unclear how the skills we were learning related to real DJing. Why is that? Well, I bet most of us know very little about real DJing. I used to actually DJ (college radio and goth clubs) and never touched on any of this stuff besides cross-fading.
Playing the game consists of Taps, Cross-fades, Scratching, and effects. Effects and Scratching are fun. Much like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, the screen indicates what to do when the notes scroll into the hit zone – in this case, it’s not notes but scratches, taps, effects. You use two hands to control the taps on the tracks, the crossfades between them, and blowing off sound effects from your sampler. The game doesn’t really allow you to be creative, which is one of my complaints. A cool feature would have been to allow the player to make his/her own mixes out of the two songs, rather than rigidly requiring you to hit buttons. The most creativity you get is WHICH sound effect to play when the it’s time to mash the sampler button. All the mixes are pre-determined as well – you do not choose which songs to mix together; the makers of DJ Hero have done that for you – for better or for worse.
It isn’t so different from its predecessors, so why does it fail to rock? It really lacks the visceral feeling of picking up a guitar and playing it. Also, I think most of us grew up seeing Rock Gods on MTV. We understand how the guitar is played and we see the Rock God (or Goddess, as the case may be) rocking out on the stage. DJs are unsung heroes, often behind the scenes. We boogie down to what they play – but do we understand how they do it? Real life DJing may actually be easier than trying to keep up with this game. It is certainly challenging, this game, but it is not fun. In fact, it is rather boring. I wanted to quit 1 minute into the first mix, but made it through all three demo mixes in order to do this review. It didn’t get any more fun. And I’m not just saying that because it was hard – once I got the hang of the controls, it was still immensely boring. Although I love electronica, hip hop and techno – I’d rather play a guitar-based game any day.
One problem I had with it was the lack of feeling connected to the music. In Rock Band, Guitar Hero and even Karaoke Revolution, you could listen to the background music and get into the rhythm and know when you’d hit the next key or sing along. In this game, you don’t know what the predetermined mixes will choose to do, how they’ll choose to mess with the songs. So you are at the mercy of your visual senses. I think people enjoyed the other games because they really felt like they were making the music, they felt musically connected.

We have the Wii version of Guitar Hero (with the full band’s worth of instruments); we got the Xbox version of DJ Hero Demo. The general idea of the controls is very familiar while also being novel. In other words, if you’re already used to GH, this is a nice alternative, and my son likes it better than GH. He says it’s harder and also that the GH guitar was hard to play sitting down and didn’t feel much like an actual guitar and that the turntable seemed more realistic. (However, he has never DJ’d in real life.
One of the things we have loved about GH is as a family game, fielding four or fewer band members depending on how many people are up for playing. The real appeal of GH to me lies in the enormous fun of playing together and the adults playing with the teenagers. I’m guessing that this ends up being more appealing to teens playing with their friends than families playing together. Among the factors here is that the kids are going to be better at picking up the more complicated controls.
We got only three songs with the demo, but I like the music better than GH (we have World Tour, FWIW.) My son says the music is good.
We don’t like the slide control, which has three positions — left, center, and, right — it’s hard to return to center. It might be better as sort of an arrow, with “center” at the top point of the arrow…. or maybe you just get used to it.
I like that is has a “Euphoria Button”. I think we could all use that sometimes.
Alas, we didn’t learn to use it because the tutorial on our disk didn’t go that far. But still, it cracks me up!
My son picked the star ratings… he says four stars for fun because we couldn’t play the full game, so it’s hard to fully access the fun. But five stars overall because it seems like a great game.

As a longtime fan of Guitar Hero and Rock Band I jumped at the chance to try DJ Hero. Unfortunately the game was largely a disappointment and a major step down from Guitar Hero. I played it a few times to see if my opinion would change. Unfortunately it did not.
When I opened the box I was extremely impressed with the controller. It looks great and is a lot of fun to play around with. This set my expectations pretty high since I don’t really find the guitar hero controller very fun to play around with without the game. The controller gives you a good feel of what a basic DJ turntable is like and the Xbox controls are discretely hidden. So from a hardware perspective DJ Hero is impressive.
The problem with the game is the gameplay itself. The game is hard to figure out even with the tutorial and was surprisingly boring once I managed to figure it out. The turntable only has three buttons and is pretty boring even with the scratch feature, something I thought would be pretty cool.
The game is pretty pricey and is not really worth the money. The controller is pretty nice though and it shows that the game has potential. Unfortunately for us we’ll have to wait for DJ Hero 2 to see the full potential of the controller. The music is nice but not really all that different from the music found in Dance Dance Revolution. If you want a fun party game that’s not Guitar Hero than DDR is a much better bet than DJ Hero. At least for now.
