Synopsis

DJ Hero 2's trickliest is aiming at a wider audience than the first game with lots of current Top 40 hip-hop and club hits from artists like Pitbull, Lady Gaga, and Tiesto. This one will probably appeal to a more general audience, but I prefer the first game's remixes. There seemed to be more variety in DJ Hero, with genres like old school hip-hop, electro, and rock better represented. Gaga and Pitbull are incredibly popular, but they're not my thing. There are still some real gems here, though, like a Sean Paul vs. Beverly Hills Cop Theme mash-up and a thrilling Damian Marley vs. Dillinja drum and bass mix.

Gameplay

Ever wanted to be a greay virtual DJ? Well DJ Hero delivers this! DJ Hero has a story based on the more you play the more songs you discover, there are exclusive songs and even mixed up top charts! You can even sit in a room by yourself just to enjoy some music. The 3DA board that has the notes on is a little illusional as it is going in a slate bend cause your eyes to loose focus, this distracted me a lot, but the exelence of the grahics made up for it!

Graphics

Astonishing graphics from this game as the colors are bright, there are no bugs or glitches its smooth and very enjoyable as you don't get distracted. A big let down if the characters...they don't look real they are sort of cartoony which ruins the vibe a little as the background locations are very detailed. The speed of the notes on the board are quite high which would usually cause the game to lag but not in this case as its smooth and very good at keeping you playing for hours.

Controls

The controls for the guitar are a little harder than the controller but it is very great if you have friends around to make you feel like a proper rockstar! As your fingers are so spaced apart on the guitar its very hard to navigate them around to hit the notes but the controller has no stuggle as you just hit the simple triangle button instead of a small plastic drum representing the wires.
