DJ HERO BUNDLE WITH GAME AND TURNTABLE FOR PS3

Rhythm games are nothing new, we have been going crazy for them since Guitar Hero. We have everything from whole band games catered to kids, to a Rockband game with Lego’s. Now Activison, AKA the house that rhythm games built, is bringing us DJ Hero. Dive into the world and music of the DJ and represent your skills on “The wheel of plastic.”

As you open the box the first thing you will noticed is the turntable controller, it feels solid and looks like whoever built it knew something about turntables. Inside the turntable are three colored buttons similar to the fret buttons on a Guitar Hero guitar, but with a little bit of texture to them. The mixer attached to the turntable has a plastic flap that folds up revealing the consoles buttons, a D-Pad, and if you’re doing it next Gen style a home or dashboard button.  Below that is Euphoria button (Think Star Power) and next to that is the effects dial, which you can use to manipulate sound at points in the game (Think Whammy Bar). The cross fader which is used by DJ’s to mix songs together is moveable from left to right with a little resistance in the center. If you’re a lefty, like myself, don’t worry. The cross fader portion can come apart so the turntable can be adjusted for your playing style. I can safely say that if you are reading this most likely you have played a music-based game in either the band of hero series. As you start up the game I highly recommend that you play the tutorial from the start, even if you are a real or hobbyist DJ, its like when a guitar player plays Rock Band for the first time you have to kind of rethink what you know.
