Taking DJ Hero Out for a Spin
| November 3, 2009 | Posted by Abren Michaels under Electronics, Gaming, Nintendo, PS3, Tech News, Xbox 360 |
USA Today recently published a short review of the much anticipated DJ Hero. Much like the rest of the gaming world, the author Mike Snider found the game captivating and fun, but still challenging enough to hold a player’s attention. Snider was thrilled with variety of tracks available (the game features 93 song mixes) and the complex, but easy to learn “turntables” controller. With such great reviews popping up on the web and in print, it looks like DJ Hero is poised to become a “must have” for music game lovers despite it’s somewhat hefty price tag (the standard game and controller retails for $120 and a Renegade version complete with a carrying case that transforms into a stand for the “turntables” is available for $200).
