Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Guitar Hero universe is about to expand, not just with a new band or instrument - but with a whole new style of music. Never mind air guitar, now you can pretend to be a superstar DJ from the comfort of your own home thanks to the new turntable controller bundled with the game.
Based in Leamington Spa, this British studio is made up of a number of ex Rare and Codemasters staff. Their first game was break-dancing sim B-Boy and after working on some EyeToy games for Sony they were bought by Activision to localise Guitar Hero content and create the new DJ Hero.
 The basics of gameplay are still similar to Guitar Hero |
 The Euphoria button works just like Star Power from Guitar Hero |
 The turntable controller is the only way to play DJ Hero |
 Play in co-op mode with a friend and you can co-operate on any track |
The gameplay is still similar to Guitar Hero, as notes travel around the on-screen turntable and you have to hold down the three "stream" buttons on the controller at the right time to keep the mix going. For advanced players there's also an effects dial, crossfader and the score boosting "Euphoria" button.
Created with input from top professional DJs and with the biggest range of bands and music styles of any game to date this has something to please every music fan. Whether you know how to DJ in real life or not this is now the ultimate party game.
Key Features- Music Hero - From the makers of Guitar Hero comes the definitive turntable game, with its own custom controller and input from the best DJs in the business.
- All-inclusive - Massive range of music styles, from grunge to hip hop. Including bands ranging from 50 Cent to Beck, Blondie, Motorhead and more.
- Mix masters - More than 80 individual songs created from over 100 different master recordings and mixed by the likes of DJ Shadow, DJ AM and Daft Punk.
- DJ vs. Guitar - Massive range of game modes including competitive and co-operative multiplayer and even ten special songs compatible with a guitar controller.
- Emotion controller - Unique turntable controller lets you flip between and scratch records, add samples and effects and use a crossfader.
Based in Leamington Spa, this British studio is made up of a number of ex Rare and Codemasters staff. Their first game was break-dancing sim B-Boy and after working on some EyeToy games for Sony they were bought by Activision to localise Guitar Hero content and create the new DJ Hero.

When I heard this game was going to come out, I was very hesitant because I didnt think it could work, boy was I wrong. I got home earlier this evening and I decided to watch a few videos on Youtube, and I thought i may aswell trade GH5 in along with PES10 and get it.
Got it home, opened the box and the turn table just feels right and comfortable on my lap. I turned up my surround sound and starting playing. The mixes are top notch and definately something you could see yourself dancing to at a night club, the set list is amazing, as you can see in the info, but the beats the scratches are work so well it makes you feel like you're a real DJ. This could easily cater for any private party you have and everyone will find a set list they enjoy.
The game differs from GH in the fact that each level is about 3 + mixes all continuous without having to select the next song unlike GH. Disturbia VS Killers is my fav at the momemt. Its takes a while to get use to the controls but once you do it becomes so natural.
Im not even half way through the songs yet and Ive been on it non=stop for about three hours. Can't wait to see the DLC.
If you like dance music, hip hop or rock then this game is for you(which is basically everyone).
BUY THIS GAME, its a must for any music fan and far better than any GH or Rock Band game!

I have been toying about getting this since it's release back in October - mainly because I didn't want yet another Guitar Hero clone in the house, and the decks look really big, so I left it be - but my birthday was looming, and I knew I would get a few bob off friends and family, so I really couldn't help myself - I had to have it!
I've been watching people in HMV, even on YouTube playing this, and I thought it would be fun to get - so I got it; yes, it's a high price tag, but it was worth it in my humble opinion.
One of the good things about this franchise is that it's not easy - yes, you can DJ pretty well in easy mode and beginner is just pathetic, I think it was just made for people to tap their foot to - but the higher levels expect you to be able to handle hitting the 3 buttons at the right time, crossfade and scratch, sometimes all at the same time, which is difficult - so you'll need to practice.
Not only that, but legendary DJ Grandmaster Flash, who is the pioneer of this turntablism movement teaches you how to DJ before you even set foot into a club. His lessons are fun, and if you don't do well he gets a bit stroppy, but that's all good. He does go in at the deep end though, and teaches you how to do all the tricks a DJ does, and goes into quite an advanced theory session later on.
So, when you're ready, you can get into the clubs, I would suggest starting with easy, as the others are tricky, and even easy has been rather tricky the further on you get, even my favourite mixes like Tears For Fears vs Eric Prydz is tricky, and Gorrilaz vs Blondie can be tough - you're going to spend hours practising those.
Talking about the music, I would say the selection is brilliant, especially the way you can have guitar and DJ at the same time, but tracks like IZZO and My Name Is together are just fantastic - I can't wait to work out how to do that in a higher mode with the crossfade and perfect timing on the decks! The genres are well mixed together, and technically the mixes are fun, but some of them are too submerged with scratching, I guess this was The Scratch Perverts' influence there - they're DMC champions. Other DJs in the project includes the legendary DJ Shadow, who is a master; DJ AM and other not so well known DJs.
So lets talk about the controller; it's a nice mixer/turntable set which fits nicely on your lap, and can be put on a table, as it's got non-slip feet. The controls are sturdy and the buttons are nicely moulded for your fingers - the crossfader feels very real and the hidden controller compartment in the deck is good as you can change options during the game with it. It takes 2xAA batteries which are supplied with the unit, and is wireless using a USB dongle which connects to the PS3. I had no problems whatsoever connecting this to the PS3, and no fiddling like I had to do with GH on the PS2.
I can't wait to hit the online part, but as a wimp I didn't try as I'm nowhere ready for the big stage yet. I think this element will make this game a lot more worthwhile, as I have never had this on GH due to it being a PS2 release - mainly because the games were cheaper on that platform.
Don't try and compare this with Guitar Hero, it's a different ball game, and even though it can be repetitive, I enjoyed it so much I was playing for 5hrs straight without noticing. It does annoy me though that it is so expensive - but I had to try it, and sometimes you need to push the boat out and give it a try. I highly recommend this game, it's fun, tasking and can improve your hand-eye coordination - and teaches memory as you have to remember what buttons to press when and how.
Go on, you know you want to, DJ!

I have been purchasing products from Amazon for to many years and always used customer reviews as a benchmark for purchasing items, so here's my first.
My girlfriend bought me the Renegade version for my birthday which retails for a good £40.00 more than the standard version, my advice, just buy the standard version, sure you get a sturdy flight case which turns into a nice stand (legs hidden in the case) and polished black plastic plus gold dials might be more aesthetically pleasing than the standard but does it matter ? I don't look at the deck whilst playing .
Gameplay: If you love dance/hip-hop then you will love the tunes, Dizzee Rascal vs Dj Shadow is an awesome mix but there are numerous styles (plenty of old skool classics). After having the game for a few weeks I've gone through all the levels, just about scraping through the Scratch Perverts which are also great mixes, but there will be longevity to the levels (i didn't really bother with 'easy' I just jumped straight to medium), with rockband you would still essentially just the hit the right notes but DJ hero adds a few more dimensions to the mix i.e scratch the correct direction, hitting more that one button, flick cross fades.
The cross-fade imo does add an actual DJ feel to the game (I was once the owner of a set of 1210's) and there is a bit of beat skill to the cross-fading, and you will find yourself nodding and bobbing away to the mix. Tweaking mixes with the sample button is ok, tuning the mix is better (bumps up your score !) It's not DJ-ing but it's a good laugh.
I am a bit gutted that the mixes on the PS3 network are a bit expensive, but all in all it's a great party/friends round/old skool/wannabe Dj game.

DJ Hero - Turntable Kit (PS3)
Can't fault the actual kit, however (unlike guitar hero) this just bored me hella quick, others seem to think so too so Activision might have skipped a beat here...
