EXPERIENCE A WHOLE NEW PHENOMENON IN MUSIC!

After years of celebrating Rock & Roll culture and making gamers feel like guitar gods with Guitar Hero, Activision turns its attention to hip-hop pioneers like Kool Herc and Grand Wizard Theodore by offering players more than 93 original mixes to blend, juggle, and scratch with the new and complete DJ Hero.
Featuring a variation of the “note highway” mechanic popularized by Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and incorporating a turntable-and-mixer peripheral controller, DJ Hero finds gamers manipulating a crossfader and effects knob with one hand, while using the other hand to press three gameplay buttons located atop a fully rotatable faux record.
Instead of increasing difficulty by making players account for more buttons, DJ Hero begins to incorporate more scratching and crossfader movement in an attempt to foster a more authentic feel.
You’re the one who spins the tunes, and who blends the mixes that keep the party going.
With your fine command of the arts of scratching, blending, cross-sampling and fading, you create a unique sound that makes you more than just a DJ to this high-energy crowd………you’re the hero of the party!
With DJ Hero you will be the life of the party as you spin and scratch more than 100 songs into unique mixes.
102 total songs spanning genres like hip-hop, RB, pop, rock and electronica.
Use the new authentic turntable controller to mix, sample and produce various scratch patterns, and go head-to-head in a DJ vs. DJ competitive mode to determine ultimate DJ supremacy.
You can even pair the turntable controller with a Guitar Hero guitar controller to perform DJ-guitar exclusive mixes, or emcee over any track using a Guitar Hero microphone.
Mix and scratch your way to fame as you perform in hip venues around the world, firing up the party with your irresistible rhythms, your enviable timing and your incredible moves.
