Y hate on simple fun game
If you have not had chance to check out DJ hero 2 here is perfect chance to give game a try. Like most when Rock bands and Guitar Heroes came out may think the games were a waste of time and critic said they should try real instruments. Will this make you a straight out the gate DJ, NO.? But could this game spark your interest in learning to be one YES. Not only has that it done wonders for hand eye coordination. If you own the first one this is a welcome addition to series. Would be nice if they would able to incorporate the other guitar hero instrumentals into future versions of the game. <br /> <br />Only issue is I l wish they left the Guitar vs. Turntable battles from first one game. <br /> <br />Game also has some sick mixes that would have never thought of and with an upcoming patch you will be able to use mixes from first version in second version.

DJ Hero 2
The game is fun to play through single player and online. The difficulty level is suitable for each gamer level of expertise. The tracks are well mixed and button pressing is well in tune with the song. Playing online is fun too because you can choose opponents who fit your difficulty level and not have to worry about being blown out by extremely talented oppenents. Overall, a good game.

A step up from the original!
When I first heard DJ Hero 2 was coming out, I was skeptical but was glad there was quite a bit of time between it&#39;s release and the release of the original DJ Hero. I had hoped they would take the time to make DJH2 a quality title.<br /><br />I loved the first one but felt it was lacking a little in user interface. Thankfully, they have implemented new in-game features such as freestyle scratch and crossfade sections that let you put a personal touch on the song. The mixes in this game are awesome and the inclusion of mega popular DJ&#39;s as playable avatars, such as David Guetta, The RZA, Tiesto, and my favorite Deadmau5, was REALLY cool.<br /><br />If you&#39;re a seasoned player when it comes to rhythm games, start on hard difficulty because, for me, it was pretty fun playing on a higher level. I&#39;ve watched people play lower than that and it was a snooze-fest so I guess that it&#39;s difficulty ranges to include all players, not just the hardcore rhythm gamers. The only issue I had with difficulty was the jump from hard to expert. It&#39;s really fun for someone who is versed in rhythm games to play on hard, but playing on expert can be really frustrating and takes away from the experience. Since you&#39;re too busy concentrating on hitting each sample, crossfade, and scratch, you&#39;re not enjoying the music and having fun.<br /><br />Overall, I really enjoyed the game and recommend it to any fan of the original or somebody looking to experience a new twist on the rhythm game genre. Thumbs up Activision!

good track list, for the most part
i like the tracks a lot more then the original dj hero and the freestyle modes make it more interactive.. <br /><br />but there are still songs that i can&#39;t imagine anyone enjoying.. let alone playing, imo this should have had more hip hop on it, since hip hop is what birthed the DJ craft.. but this game still seems centered on the house / rave crowed. but other then that, i approve. looking forward to more improvements in DJ Hero 3.

Same Fun Factor That DJ Hero Had
Granted the music selection may not be as diverse and as large as the original DJ Hero but the new freestyle mixing is really fun and the online customization is pretty neat. Also the songs seems to be a bit more easier than the first DJ Hero. I play on Hard and can get 5 stars on about 96% of the songs. On DJ Hero my percentage on Hard was like 80%.<br /><br />I ended up buying the game from gamefly simply because I love DJ Hero that much. If you do too then DJ Hero 2 is a must try, maybe even a buy.

Music Got Awful
This sequel really doesn&#39;t bring much new to the mechanic of the game. There&#39;s "freestyle mixing" and they dispensed with the finite list of freestyle samples to trigger, but it&#39;s basically the same game wrapped in a new package. And the music? Forget it. At least the first one had SOME variety, mixing classics like Queen and Public Enemy and Marvin Gaye and even Motorhead in with the new Top 40 stuff. But this setlist is all flash-in-the-pan pablum from the last year or so. No variety, no diversity, no coolness factor.
