Have to side with Jeff here, I love music games but I can’t justify this one, but thanks for posting the video though, I was trying to get my head around how it might work and it’s much clearer now.

Maybe one to try though before I condemn it completely…

Heh tell me about it. All I’ve really had time to play is Forza 3, and Borderlands is starting to… disappoint.

I agree, it is not for everyone. I am hooked. I need to borrow Jesse’s copy now that he’s finished it for review. If only I had the time to play it.

DJ hero presents a maddening dilemma for me.I should LOVE it in every sense of the word. I typically like the type of music in the game, and I love rhythm games in general.

But I just can’t reconcile the price point, nor have I ever felt compelled by the turntable variety of a controller peripheral, especially since the controller felt extremely cheap to me when I first tried it out. I feel like the electronic music and mixes in DJ hero just don’t interest me from an interactive perspective…I’d rather listen than play along.

I’ve also grown accustomed to the multiplayer aspects of rhythm games, and this solo experience just isn’t attractive to me.

So I think you are absolutely correct in stating that DJ Hero isn’t for everyone. But I am this weird anomaly in between, apparently
