Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not as good as the first game but got it for a deal of the day at BestBuy. Couldn't resist the price, seeing I still have the controller and there are only 2 games for the controller. Grandchildren like playing with it and some of my relatives.

The game is a little delayed when I play it. I have to hit the buttons a tiny bit early in order to get points. It can be frustrating. Still fun, though.

My kids enjoy the game, but I wish I had paid attention to the accessories needed. It can get pricy.

This game has an amazing original soundtrack from a number of popular techno artists. I found it to be at least as fun as Guitar Hero, and possibly even more so, if you're into this style of music.

Awesome I Love this game I love the beats & music it's a must have.

The new freestyle scratching is kind of difficult inserted into the songs but still fun to play

If you like the first one, you will love this one. the songs are better mixed!

Fun game. Equipment is a bit expensive. Easy to set up

If you loved DJ Hero 1, you won't get disappointed. I do have a few gripes with this new installment of DJ Hero 2, the songs are more inclined towards electronic dance music and there does not seem to be much hip hop as well as many other varieties of music in this game. Overall, excellent tracks. The difficulty level has definitely been bumped up a notch. Playing on "Medium" on DJ Hero 1 seemed really easy while playing on "Medium" on DJ Hero 2 was often at times ludicrous and insane to duplicate on your turntable controller. Another gripe of the Wii version of DJ Hero 2 is that again, this is a MUSIC game. The Wii does not have Dolby 5.1 Surround that the 360 and PS3 has. Also, the graphics have been toned down a bit (not a surprise considering that the Wii is geared more towards a family household rather than a student or a middle-aged bachelor) so the characters are more "cartoon-like" while the characters, dancers and DJs looked more defined in detail in the 360/PS3 versions. Overall, awesome game. It's $49.99 but if you want another turntable, I suggest you take advantage of Best Buy's special for the bundle for a few extra dollars. Activision just recently slashed all their DJ Hero items by 50%. Definitely worth it. Besides, I found that these turntables are not very sturdy and it doesn't hurt to have a spare just in case one of the tables turns out to be unusable.

Overall, DJ Hero 2 has a better and bigger track selection than its predecessor but it's too heavy with techno and dance music instead of hip-hop, which is the roots of this game. If you're okay with this then you'll get more out of it than I have. It's fun, but Activision needs to get fan input when making artist and track selections.
