Each time you’re playing something, it’s two different songs playing at the same time and you’re manipulating them both at the same time with the fader and scratching, rewinding, mixing, etc across both of them to make a unique sound.

So yeah, you may think ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ doesn’t fit in with DJ Hero, but then when you hear LL Cool J’s ‘Rock the Bells’ come in on it with perfect timing it ‘clicks’.

Obviously not anyone representing PCS would slight the evolution of the DJ, but it’s honestly an infant art when you put it next to the guitar. Which is fine by me, I don’t think everyone needs to be into it. But my question is the song list. I saw some great songs on DJ Hero but also saw Nirvanna in there too. I love Nirvanna as next as the next guy, but what are they doing in a DJ Game?

Does it take you on a path of the different branches of Deejaying? For instance does it start with hip hop when there was cutting and scratching and mixing? Does the music then take you on a path of House, Prog/Trance, and Techno?

Or will those be different games or future DJ Heroes?

Each of those niches have a wealth of songs to choose from and DJs to emulate, but I question if the controller will let you experience half of the similarity of what Rock Band and GH has provided.

$120 is a steep price. I was hoping more for $100 ($40 for controller + $60 for game). I doubt I’ll be first in line but I gotta see a complete play list and game play for each of these two DJ simulators.
