The Un-Official "Opinions on DJ Hero" Thread

Great reviews so far. =D

I've played the demo at Best Buy the other day. It definitely got me interested, but I didn't get enough time on it to give a review. I'll be going back up to play it soon.

Anyways, I'll just preserve this space for my review for when I actually buy it(probably around my birthday).

I have a few questions for people that have the game

What songs can have DJ and Guitar?
Is DJ and vocals an option?
How much does DLC cost?

@ Warheim:

1. There are ten mixes that have a DJ + Guitar mode, They are:

Billy Squier - The Big Beat vs. N.E.R.D. - Lapdance
Jackson 5 - I Want You Back vs. Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music vs. Gang Starr - Just To Get A Rep
Rihanna - Disturbia vs. The Killers - Somebody Told Me
Weezer - Beverly Hills vs. Dilated Peoples, Alchemist, Aceyalone, 88 Keys - Fresh Rhymes And Videotape
Street Sweeper Social Club - Fight! Smash! Win! vs. Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades vs. Noisia - Groundhog
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench vs. Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero vs. DJ Z-Trip ft. Murs - DJ Hero
Public Enemy ft. Zakk Wylde - Bring The Noise 20XX

2. You can hook up a mic and "MC" your mixes, it doesn't really state that there are "vocals" in the game, just voice chat.

3. From what i have read, it will range between $3.99 to $7.99 for DLC packs (first DLC is an Extended Mix Pack, this one costs $3.99, but if you pre-ordered the game through Gamestop, you got THIS DLC for free. The next DLC will be a David Guetta Pack which will cost $7.99. If you use the 360, then idk how the equivalent points of that is).

Great game. Mixes are brilliantly done, graphics are good, gameplay is awesome, although fast sequences can be confusing to decipher on expert. Fast Directional Scratching and Crossfade Spikes are annoying and impossible to consistently perform.

Setlist is amazing. There is exactly 1 mix (of 93) that I didn't thoroughly enjoy; this was the Sabotage/Monkey Wrench mix. Everything else was awesome. Especially the mix with Fix Up, Look Sharp and Genesis.

However, the controller is an abominable piece of crap. Rewinding activates buttons, buttons are cumbersome, turntable is too heavy, everything except the crossfader is pathetically unresponsive. Crossfader, which everybody seems to dislike, is pretty much perfect. The controller has to be revised for DJH2.

idk how "kosher" it is, but I felt the platter spun too freely aswell. So I put a piece of paper between the platter and the circle it spins in, this slowed it down to where it doesn't go full circle every time I end a scratch pattern, but I can still give it a 720 rewind.

Question for those with the game:

I'm attracted to the setlist quite a bit, but what turns me off from looking at videos is the rewind feature....at least in the 2 videos I saw it really seems to kill the flow, to repeat 15-20 seconds. Is it always like that? Do you have to rewind all the time for high scores?

**Grimnir** · Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 3:46 pm Post subject:

For high scores, yes, you will rewind about as soon as you get one <_< That is the key to ultra high scores.

but good news: in multiplayer mode the rewind is disabled. So you can play vs and pwn ppl without rewinding constantly. And then just not rewind in solo play ^_^

well.. there is only 1 dj mixing up each set? So I don't see why there would be coop. If winning isn't what you want... than why do rewinds matter? Just play for fun? Play vs without caring who wins or not?
