\"harmonix_logo_large\"The world\u00a0favourite\u00a0cheesy\u00a0multi-player game Guitar Hero<\/a> has created a\u00a0franchise,\u00a0that to start with, \u00a0was original, fun, super user friendly and managed to spawn some reasonably good cousins too, Guitar Hero 80’s, World tour and others. DJ Hero is planned to be released in the US for October 27th.\u00a0Developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by Red Octain Guitar Hero is decided to be worth around the $275 million mark, while having made sure that they\u00a0haven’t\u00a0become too samey and boring. Fighting off the odd critic after the dirty mistake that was Kirt Cobain rising from the grave was a low\u00a0point, but you have to\u00a0expect\u00a0the odd bit if\u00a0controversy\u00a0nowadays. If anything it makes their “I am a rock star” simulation game all the more real, ya’ know with court cases and overdoses and erm, zombies……<\/p>\n

\"dj-hero-controller\"<\/p>\n

But DJ Hero, really!<\/a> We think not.\u00a0I’m\u00a0not\u00a0denying that the sort of songs likely to turn up in a DJ game wont be\u00a0good,there are a tonne or super dance tunes that would make the idea fun, but it just\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0make as much sense as the Guitar Hero or Rock Band Games. How often do you (don’t\u00a0lie, you know who you are) get caught doing your best “air dj” moves around the living room? Thought so. The game does boast a nice fun, versatile DJ Controller, three buttons (instead\u00a0of five) sit in what\u00a0represents\u00a0your record\/scratcher and a slider, for star power no bout. The\u00a0playlist\u00a0is quite\u00a0handsome<\/a> too with around 100 tunes or more with\u00a0around 60 different artists.<\/p>\n

The artist list is a bit sporadic though with some obvious acts right where you’d expect them, Daft Punk for example with others that make you think are just stoking fillers, like Rihanna and Gwen Stefani, who’s in there with the same song three times! The\u00a0developers\u00a0don’t\u00a0seem to have enough good artists in the bag to make it interesting enough, as well as the original songs being\u00a0recycled all through the game, the second artists, the ones providing the mash up extras are\u00a0guilty\u00a0of this too. A super idea that was rushed me thinks. They could have released it later on, early next year maybe, without the cheeky \u00a0re-offenders having to beef up the playlists. We’re not yet convinced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
