    Even if the tunes aren't all things to all players, that shouldn't hold anyone back from putting cash down and picking up one of the most original games to grace consoles for some time. DJ Hero 2 is sublime.

    DJ Hero 2 may not make major steps forward, but the additions, refinements and minor tweaks that FreeStyle Games have made really build on the solid foundations that the first game laid down to make DJ Hero 2 an even better experience then before and in my opinion, currently the best music game around.

    With its numerous additions and improvements supported by an amazing list of remixes, DJ Hero 2 isn't only an automatic buy for those who loved the first one but also a definitive must have music title for all music genre fans.

    Even when considering the aforementioned caveats, DJ Hero 2 is a very good game, and it is surely a nice step up from the original title.

    DJ Hero 2 is one of the best music games in years. Following up with the same popular and innovative gameplay mechanics of the previous DJ Hero, the second game provides a much more up to date setlist, much more music and better multiplayer options.
    Though the gameplay hasn't changed from the original game, the setlist has become more up to date and increased its number of songs to 105 (with 95 mixes unique to the game) meaning you can tap, scratch and crossfade your way through hours of new songs. Though the songs are, on the whole, less varied than last time round you are bound to recognise 90% of them and club dance fanatics will probably recognise them all.
    Multiplayer has been redesigned, now 2 turntables & 1 microphone can be used at any time compared to the 1 deck & 1 guitar of last time. Though the extra deck is a great idea the vocals are difficult to get used to as the songs are jumbled up and will frequently change into different songs making it difficult for even the biggest fan of the song to get used to.
    That's pretty much DJ Hero 2 in a nutshell, it does nothing new but why change what wasn't broken, it provides a bigger, more up to date setlist but does seem to lose its variety and multiplayer is a much better affair with the 2 turntable decks rather than a guitar.
    DJ Hero 2 is a must own game for any music game fan    … Expand

    No game is fun if you don't know what's going on and DJ Hero is one of those games that requires you to overcome the learning curve to reap the benefits. Solo play is out of the question as DJ Hero should be left on to entertain your guests by ear and/or by a several hands.… Expand
