DJ Hero: Difference between revisions

A spin-off of the ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' series by Activision, developed by FreeStyleGames, '''''DJ Hero''''' is a large variation on the usual instrument-peripheral-rhythm-game-genre, in which instead of a representation of a conventionally popular instrument like a guitar, bass, or drums, you use a turntable peripheral. The difference comes from that while you do press buttons alongside on-screen prompts to interpret a song (albeit with two fewer buttons), some notes require you to hold down the button and "scratch" the turntable. In addition, you also have to adjust your "cross-fader" bar to match the note highways on screen.

The soundtrack of the series consists of remixes/mashups of various songs produced both in-house by the developers, or by the several artists brought into the project, including and not limited to Grandmaster Flash, [[Daft Punk]], the late DJ AM, [[Deadmau5]], Tiësto, and RZA of [[Wu-Tang Clan]] fame.

As ofIn 10 February 2011, ''DJ Hero'' alongside its parent series ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' have been given the axe by [[Activision]], although FSG [http://theherofeed.com/2362/freestyle-games-working-with-activision/ is apparently in talks to save the franchise].
