    DJ Hero

    Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Oct 27, 2009

    FreeStyleGames' DJ Hero uses a turntable controller to bring Guitar Hero-like gameplay to more genres and styles of music.

    Is it just me or is it impossible to play without dancing?

    whilst playing along to this quite frankly amazing game i suddenly found myself nodding and grooving to the beat and suddenly felt very silly (but no matter how silly i alway feel i always end up doing it). I then gave my brother a go and sure enough 2 minutes in i see that he is also feeling the music and happily danced along. Just wondered if this had happened to anyone else?

    I was in Target last night and the commercial came on while I was looking at TV's (by the way I just found out Vizio's have a 120Hz tv now). I just started bobbing my head to the beat and felt a wee bit embarrassed.

    I dare you to play Bring the Noise/Genesis without (nearly) headbanging.  I dare you.

    As a guy who danced while playing Rock Band, I'm assuming i'll fail quite a lot of songs on busting a move to this. Seriously, fellas, I know it's not metal and ruins your badass persona, but just dance.

    It helps with the timing, what your doing is benificial. Try to find a video of a dj who doesn't do that, you probally can't.

    I was playing on expert and hard in best buy, and I had a crowd of people around me who didnt want to play, and was just watching me. They clapped and stuff, it was cool. Whenever I was playing, and I looked up, they were all bobbing the heads to the beat, and so was I.

    You feel silly about nodding to the music when you're playing on a plastic turntable, and if that wasn't attached to the computer it'd be called a toy, and you feel silly?
     
    Get into it, you shouldn't feel silly if it makes you happy.

    I'm usually sitting down when I play, no renegade edition for me, but I usually find myself bouncing and bopping to the music when I get into a groove. Seems to be a trend with music games across the board with me though.

    Wait, people stand there bored playing Guitar Hero? 
     
    Man, you fools have NEVER seen me play Slayer's "Reign in Blood".  The hair flows, sir.  Meanwhile, I play Rush's "YYZ" with the guitar behind my head and use the strum bar with my teeth on occasion. 
     
    I seriously rock Guitar Hero out like it's a real guitar...but then again, I play real guitar, so I know how to properly!  = D 
     
    I also play Dick Dale's "Miserlou" and The Sleeping's "Don't Hold Back" with my back turned to the TV...and performance mode, just to make sure I don't see the notes. 
     
    311's "Beautiful Disaster", Steve Miller's "The Joker", and Tool's "Schism" are only played with tap-strumming, no strum bar. 
     
    Yeah, I rock that game the fuck out!

    I know whenever I play the Justice song I really can't help myself but dance to it. Such an amazing mix and you just cannot stop a man from dancing to it! You just can't!
