Additionally, two DJs can mix and scratch together on multiple turntable controllers, a player can join in to emcee over any track in the game with a mic or, using a Guitar Hero guitar controller along with a turntable controller, gamers can perform a series of infamous DJ-guitar exclusive mixes, just as many of the artists in DJ Hero have.

You need to be Double-Jointed to be a Hero
Ok, so i've reached that age where the music I grew up with is now called 'old school' and where telling people you're a gamer gets you looks of either pity or disapproval. Neither of these things bother me now that DJ hero is less than fifty quid and I can embarrass my kids as I sit hunched over a pretend turntable and destroy classics like 'bust a move', 'shut 'em down' and 2Pac's 'how do you want it'. Fortunately, the creaters of DJ Hero haven't made the same mistake. Some of the tracks are truly sublime and playing the game starts to feel more like you are creating your own mix tape than actually trying to be any good at the game. The game itself is hugely enjoyable. A very forgiving learning curve and five distinct difficulty settings has meant that my five-year-old, my wife and I can all play without feeling either bored or frustrated. Online is a bit of a disappointment as there never seems to be anyone around forgiving enough to compete at my humble level, but passing the turntable from one person to the next is still a lot of fun. The peripheral itself is a fantastic piece of kit. Lightweight, durable and responsive, with in game settings that allow you to recalibrate the deck to your liking, this is one of the best thought out and intuitive add-ons I've ever seen (and as I've been a gamer for nearly 30 years, I've seen a lot). My only two gripes are these; the crossfader doesn't have a suitable groove for the middle position (meaning that it is all to possible to more the slider too far and miss that vital multiplier) and using the button closest to the centre for scratching is considerably more difficult without the aid of a stabilising thumb or little finger hugging the edge of the turntable. I would wholeheartedly recommend this game as a fun journey through hip hop history, a great challenge, with well balanced achievements. If you are hoping for an even spread of musical tastes then you may be disappointed, but after getting used to the controls (and the inevitable RSI that follows), this is a rewarding, accessible and welcome addition to the 'hero' franchise. Now I'm off to un-knot my fingers, "Groundhog" on Expert is beckoning......
