    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.
  2. 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.
  3. DJ Hero was my favorite music game of 2009, and I'm happy to report this sequel bests its predecessor in nearly every way.
  4. Along with FreeStyleGames critical examination of every bit of DJ Hero and their effort to improve everything, they have succeeded beyond measure and created a title that no music fan should pass up.

    An impressive sequel that's well worth owning, but if you're new to the franchise and not sure which one to get first, DJ Hero 2's extra scratches, freestyle elements and online offerings make it the obvious choice.

    DJ Hero 2 is an excellent sequel. It takes the solid gameplay the original game laid out and offers vast improvements.

    DJ Hero 2 has what people want from a well made sequel, enhancing the better parts of the original, broadening what has to offers, and at the same time having its own personality while mantaining the essence of the previous game.

    DJ Hero 2's multiplayer modes might not strike as anything special, although it is a social and accessible game, but the robust content is tailored to be the most hypnotic single-player rhythm game on the market.
  11. A sequel done right. It deals with the original's issues and adds features to keep things fresh.

    Still the arcadiest music game around, with a few nice moments to express yourself. [Issue#56, p.46]

    With the changes and additions that have been made, DJ Hero 2 is definitely a better game than last year's edition.

  1. I do not understand why this game is so underrated at Wii. Visuals are outstanding, even for Wii (look at DJs, they have the same amount of details like 360/PS3) but in my opinion, it is the best game from "Hero" series on Wii. Full Review »
  2. DJ HERO 2 is a huge improvement from the first DJ HERO. The only thing I would suggest is to put more songs on and allow importing from the first game. Full Review »
