This was the one year that she actually said she wanted something so when it came up at Amazon for the price that it did I had to jump on it. It came before Christmas and I did not expect the box to be so huge! I have never seen her so surprised, she opened it and started to laugh for almost half an hour. The game is soooo much fun and the music is fantastic, would highly recommend it even if the music is not to your taste you will have a blast!
I played this game going through 4 songs and when I was done, I knew it wasn't for me. First, the music is awesome, the mixes are pretty cool, BUT after going through it, I felt nothing. You sit akwardly with the ONE turntable (they really need two in order to make it a DJ experience) and the placement of your hand is so awkward. The song starts playing and you press a few buttons and move the record a little for the scratches and it is over. In fact, one aspect of the game I absolutely hate is them inserting a whistle as part of the DJ experience. There is no "whistle" aspect when you are actually DJing, this makes no sense.
So the game is awkward, its not as fun as Guitar Hero. It would have been a lot better if it was two turntables and a mixer versus just one turntable and it is soooo not engaging. You practically sit motionless moving your fingers a little. You are less motionless than just playing a regular RPG or shooter. I felt so disconnected from the music even though I thought the music was great. If you had ever DJ for real in your life, you are absolutely going to HATE it. At least in Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Band Hero etc they engage you on every song. Actually when I first played Guitar Hero in best buy, it was a "gotta have it". While this game, for me after playing it was "eh, so what". Oh and the price tag, even for the one that you actually need to get (The Renegade Editioin) is way way way too high. Heck for a [...] I can get me a complete PS3 or a Samsung Blu-Ray player, but I don't think I want to spend [...] for just one game. I mean everything is made out of cheap plastic anyways. If it was $99 dollars I say, sure get it, but [...].. no way. It's is not a [...] worth of fun.
I would recommended everyone to get this DJ hero Renegade Edition.This game is awesome and it comes with the turntable and the case and stand it has it all.I got this for my fiance and he loves it.
"This is a fun game to play with your friends and its more the money to buy this edition."
"Good game for the money, fun to play stand is an xtra bonus. Gold plating makes it look cool."
