DJ Hero Renegade Edition Featuring Jay-Z and Eminem (Xbox 360)

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.

Bought this for my 15yr old, and my husband likes playing it, and even my 4yr old daughter...Renegade edition i think was a good choice because it comes with the carrying case that turns into a table with adjustable legs...

First off. DJ Hero is a great game. It has it's similar momemnts to Guitar Hero but it stands alone as its own great game. The music is great and the only complaint I have about that is not enough hip-hop. Some may not agree but Guitar Hero/Rockband featured a lot of Rock/Pop as they should. Well since this is is DJ Hero, I figured it would have a lot more classic/new Hip-Hop and maybe Techno. The game still has Rock in it though and I just find that to be kind of weird, but I know in the future there will be more DLC to come along. Overall I love the music though still.

The Renegade edition being $80 more than the standard bundle should still be looked at. I bought the Renegade edition because of the Black/Gold Turntable controller and the Stand/Case. The controller looks a lot better than the grey one thats standard. In my opinion and the case is very sturdy and will hold anything that inside it that comes with this edition. It includes Eminem/Jay-Z cd's, Turntable, Game, Sticker, Legs for the stand and Instructions. I usually use the stand sitting down, which works perfectly for me. When you pull the legs out further it begins to wobble but still works fine. I would reccomend the Renegade edition if you plan on keeping this game for a long time and not trade it in. The Case will keep everything it comes with looking new.
