Reviews: DJ Hero Video Review

Yay ,video review!

Yayy Daft Punk, I just unlocked them yesterday

This game would be a lot more appealing to me if it were a Daft Punk sim.

Nice! Loved the black and white frustration bits

Thank you for detailing how you play the game physically because I have no idea how the concept of DJing works. In fact it was the most helpful thing I've seen about this game to date.

must resist..

Yeah, show that turntable whose boss, Jeff!

Still want this. Can't afford it right now, but soonish.

Great review!

I picked up this game like 10 hours ago when I was shopping for games.. 
I had a hard time putting the turntable away and stop playing it..  
 
I'm really digging it more than I thought I would

hahaha middle finger to the controller! XD

lol loved Ryan's hand modelling. 

Was that Tim Shafer doing the hand modeling?

nice

Me and my room mate are throwing down some mad beats right now!

Heh, great review.

Harder, Better, Faster, Duder

That middle finger was pretty epic. It seems a bit heavy if it can spin around that many times.

I love that Jeff went with the air horn sound.
 
I think I finally know how that game is played, the whole thing just looked baffling to me before.

Nice review, but the style of music is not for me.

Great review! Hilarious as usual :)  
 
Too bad the game looks too complicated for my poorly coordinated self.

agree 100% with everything jeff said .

Might pick it up next year when it's super cheap due to DJ Hero 3: World Tour.

DJ Yoda has a couple of albums called 'How To Cut and Paste' and one that is even 80's themed! They don't teach you how to cut and paste but there is scratching and mixing aplenty!

Hmm. I had trouble with the controls for the first few songs I played. But after a few songs I just went to hard and started getting it pretty fast. The game is not that hard until you start playing on expert IMO. Those precise scratches are difficult when in huge rows.

lol Ryan giving the turntable the finger.

Ah Jeff don't hide the Titannica t-shirt.

You know... it's a little too rough for me right now. I'll wait for one of the inevitable sequels or if it drops price like a ton of bricks.
 
It's just that there a bunch of little things that add up to me not liking it, like the remix system and that weird cartoony scratch sound, and most of the selection sounds too generic. I wasn't expecting some crazy awesome DJ mixes that have a bunch of samples from everything like they used to have in the 80s, but atleast they could have tried not to make the songs sound too much like the original tracks, like some sort of VS mashup.

good review man. 
 
and dude fuckin murs is in this game??!?!?!? that bumps it to must buy status for me.

yo, mad fresh black and white on the peripheral!
 
Having Ryan show it off made me think of an infomercial.

Better take a modern first aid course, that put something in the mouth of an epilepsy sufferer meme keeps spreading. 
 
Thing that gets me about this game is that improvisation is treated like something you have to copy.  Feels completely backwards to me.

Everyone should check out the movie Scratch. It's a great documentary about turntablism and it's cheap as hell.

Eric Prydz with Pjanoo? Awesome.
Good review.

Nice review Jeff.
 
I'm tempted to get it, but I wish you could slow songs down like DJ Screw, and I wish they used some underground rappers, because most mainstream rappers are terrible lyrically.

This just doesn't look like a lot of fun to me. It's too chaotic and the style of music doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure it's a lot of fun if you do enjoy this type of music though.

Ryan is a great hand model.

I really want to get this but $120........damn that's too much. Also knowing Activision they will be churning this game out yearly with newer models of the spin table and then making you buy them. I've been down this road before, might as well stop here.

I might have to rent this...I hope I can play without the turntables unlike RB2 :(

lol yah black and white jeff hands

yeah...i don't have any money.
