DJ Hero 2 Review - Be a DJ Hero this Christmas 2010!

Anyone who has heard of the Ninetendo Wii, Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 has heard of Guitar Hero. Games allowing players to pretend they are a rock star have been very popular since their appearance on the market.

The makers of Guitar Hero have decided to capitalize on the popularity of the music genre games with the release, just in time for Christmas, of DJ Hero 2. DJ Hero 2 is available for several consoles including the three most popular: Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3.

DJ Hero 2 allows owners of the original DJ Hero game to expand the available tracks and it adds a number of new features as well such as the new “Empire Mode” of the game. This mode allows you to take your character from the bottom to the top of the DJ world, from deejaying in a warehouse to leading an entire music empire. 

With multiplayer modes such as DJ Battles, DJ Hero 2 is a great game to play with together with family and friends. There is even a Party Play mode that allows you to keep the music playing at a party.

DJ Hero 2 comes with tracks from genres ranging from hip hop, to dance, to pop. Some artists added to this version of DJ Hero include kanye West, Chemical Brothers, Lady Gaga and Dr. Dre. Freestyle selections in this version allow you to change your mixes each and every time you play.

If you do not already own them, accessories, which are sold separate from the game itself, are required to play DJ Hero 2. A minimum of one turntable controller is required but to allow for multiplayer and battle modes, two turntable controllers are required. The party pack is a convenient and less expensive way to acquire these necessities as it comes with two turntables, the game itself and a microphone.

DJ Hero is a great choice for Christmas this year since the entire family can enjoy it together. It is also a game that appeals to people of all ages, unless, of course, they have an aversion to club music.
