DJ Hero
Well I thought about it for a while listening to most of the tracks and watching a lot of gameplay videos and I finally decided to add another plastic instrument to my collection. Currently I have a GH3 guitar, RB1 guitar/drum/mic, and Rb2 guitar/drum(with cymbals)/mic. The game is actually really good most of the mixes are great some are a bit on the annoying side... like jackson 5 vs third eye blind. Now I wouldn't say playing this game will turn you into a DJ nor will it help you DJ better. This is just a game... just like how playing plastic guitar wont let you shred like [insert favorite guitarist here]. I currently can only play it up to hard but I get a lot of misses. I had to stop playing because I got complaints from my girlfriend that she keeps getting songs stuck in her head. Considering these are mixes you can't really sing along to them unless you A: either have the game or B: have the soundtrack. So I decided to take a break from it I was able to clear all the songs on medium on two days(which shows how much I was playing it when I bought it).
Now the controller is well built the platter feels smooth the crossfader kind of feels like something off of a cheap radio shack mixer that I used to own. The "hidden" control panel is great, although I would of had the headset jack on the front side of slider portion of the controller, this way the cords would be out of the way. I do love the fact that you can change the controller up completely for left's and the fact that you can move the buttons to either side of the platter. One thing I am wondering is if they will ever make the game where you had two platters one for the blue and one of the green stream to give you a more realistic DJ experience.
Now if your a fan of rhythm/music games and like listening to mixes then this is a must have game. You may want to actually try the game out at your local game/electronics store or at a friends house. I have friends that love the game but just can't handle the crossfader, and they end up just completely screwing up. Now if you have a friend that is fairly good at the game(can handle hard) you can get about 250 points by playing the tutorials, and 2 setlists(on hard). The first setlist would be the one right after the tutorial and the second would be the Grandmaster Flash set(if you can unlock it that fast you may have to play another just to get more stars). You will also need to create a dj/guitar setlist with one song in order to get the 2 guitar achievements. Also make sure you have a mic connected not a headset and have someone talk into it while your playing.
