Guitar Hero isn't just a successful game franchise: it's a bona fide phenomenon. But as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end and it's obvious that we've reached a saturation point for rhythm games. Sequels are becoming nothing more than glorified track packs and while sales are still strong, gamers are like cats in that they become easily distracted, so publishers have to find new ways to keep them interested. In that respect, you can either specialise, the way Rock Band...

It was inevitable that Activision would look to expand its rhythm genre empire and DJ Hero is a noteworthy addition to its arsenal. However, it isn’t nearly as accessible nor as polished as its current bread and butter franchise, Guitar Hero. Still...

You might think there's too many music titles out there to choose from, but Activision have now provided you with a reason to take another look. DJ Hero needs to be played before you can pass any judgement, as even those with no interest in DJ music wi...
A really polished game and an ingenious piece of hardware. Fantastic value for money, especially with the allowance for the guitar peripheral.
Doubts about the endurance of the cross-fader switch. Being easy to learn, but difficult to master could put the impatient gamer off.

The battle of the band video games has raged on for over a year now with Guitar Hero’s World Tour entering the fray against Rock Band. While Rock Band has been busy bringing powerhouse franchises like The Beatles to gamers, Activision have been looking...

Whatever next, eh? We’d seen guitars, then mics, then whole bands. We’d seen Aerosmiths, Metallicas, and finally all four Beatles marionetting their way through a whole career with custom plastic replicas of Höfner basses and Gretsch Duo Jets for your...
DJ Hero is a spectacular first effort for what, we imagine, could very well become a long and much-loved series. All the music’s fantastic fun to play, the contraption itself is a satisfying, well-implemented bit of plastic, and it’s really a...

DJ Hero is a game that really needs to be played to be truly appreciated. On paper it seems to be yet another ill-conceived concept bundled with a money-spinning peripheral to give it a novelty value – the kind of thing you fiddle with at Christmas and...

There are certain games that, for whatever reason, I dont foresee myself attempting to play, let alone review. I cant touch the Madden games because I wont settle for anything less than the Pittsburgh Steelers winning seven consecutive Super Bowls...
But really, DJ Hero is worth getting because theres an aura of freshness surrounding the game, and Im not just saying that because DJ Jazzy Jeff is in it. The experience feels exciting and fun again. It reminds you of the first time you played Guitar...

A growing sentiment amongst the online gaming community is that the music / rhythm genre has been getting stale and for it to continue on the successful path it has been on it must innovate. Developers of these games have had trouble with this as the l...
A shot in the arm for the music genre. Fundamentally different from Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Excellent soundtrack. Tons of unlockables.
Extremely bare bones in the presentation department.

There's a plethora of music games for the consoles now from various companies but to keep it fresh you need something different. Activision thinks it has the next big thing though with DJ Hero and after seeing it at E3 I thought this could be a fun gam...

Activision gets a lot of grief for releasing what often feels like dozens of Guitar Hero games each year. Thanks to games like Band Hero, Guitar Hero: Van Halen and Guitar Hero Smash Hits, even a stalwart fan of the series like me is starting to lose...

It wasn’t until the phenomenon that was the very first Guitar Hero that music games really became one of the driving forces of the gaming industry. The advent of Rock Band fleshed the genre out a bit more, adding vocals and drums, but there hasn’t been...

Rock music has had a good run with the cheap plastic instruments. After countless tracks in Guitar Hero and Rock Band, we're starting to see an over-saturation of the market. Far be it for Activision to stop, though, as DJ Hero is the fifth of six "He...

There's no denying that DJ Hero is a logical step for the rhythm action genre to take. These days, after all, people aspire to be world class DJs in the same way they aspire to be amazing guitarists, so it makes sense to try and give gamers that experi...

The music is good enough that I'd boot up the game just hear it; some tracks let you play along with a guitar, which is a nice bonus.
The controller and note charts need polish; the price tag might turn off some wouldbe DJ's.
