There is a Quick Set List option, but anything you do there counts towards your star totals.

So you can pick what mix you want to play out of what is available?Stormwatch said:

Wow that is a rather large omission, but having a work around will do, I suppose.Struct09 said:
Been playing this game for the past few hours (Renegade Edition) and I'm luving it. The whole mash up soundtrack in this game is phenomenal. Playing on Medium and still getting use to the feel of the controls but I like it. Of course the price sucks but thats the only negative I gotta say bout this game. This is seriously the first time I had fun with any music games for a while now. Go get it kids!

Yeah, the Kotaku thing seemed confusing. Isn't creating a custom playlist with 1 song the same thing? That's technically how something like RB2 or GHWT works with their Quickplay right?

Ah snap, couldn't find any Renegade Editions here, settled for some regular edition.
Some retail codes, which seem to be universal (got them with my box):
"5rTG" DJ Z-Trip
"D1G?" Unlocks all Daft Punk items

Just picked up my copy.
LOL @ the cheapness of the packaging. Cheap slipcover over a cardboard box, cheap black & white ultra thin instruction manual, with (I don't even know how this works) an even cheaper Xbox 360 game case made from less plastic than normal, and the turntable isn't even in a plastic bag or anything, so it has all this fuzz or dust on it from the inside cardboard packaging or foam thing on the spindle. Bah!
I shouldn't let it bother me, but jebus, $120 should give someone a better first impression than that.

I think its because some will try to buy three copies of the game. That's where I see it becoming a problem.MBison said:
I'm going to get this game sometime in Nov. I enjoyed what I played at a store.

I'd rather the money spent going towards making the packaging look pretty go towards
1.) making sure the controller isn't a piece of shit
and
2.) making a better, bug free game with more tracks.
they can wrap the damn thing in last week's newspaper for all I care.
edit: and speaking of tracks, eminem/beck is horrible. HORRIBLE.

Is the standard 360 turntable wired or wireless?

During gameplay, hold down the Euphoria button for a few seconds (it's like 5 seconds or something).

Played through training and the first two sets on medium... totally happy so far. Awesome stuff, very fun. My turntable works perfectly.
Question. Will going back and playing the first two sets on a higher difficulty earn me more stars? Because it seems like it won't.

:lol @ Boom Tap
Its because you can't haggle at Best Buy. You can't walk in and say, "I'm going to buy this TV and a game, I want a free game", either. The deal is specifically for $59.99 and under games. There's a reason its only for those games, but I don't know the science behind it. Maybe they make less off of those games anyways.MBison said:

I ripped through the list on medium. Noisia is the only 4/5 Stars left for me. Started on Hard and that's definately a step up. phew. Throwin' the crossfader around is so much fun in the later mixes. And the Tiesto song is unexpectedly good.

Oh good, it is just a little confusing. So going from Easy to Medium won't get you any more stars, but from Medium to Hard will? And how can you tell at what difficulty you beat a set on?

oh wait, I misread your question. I have no idea
Just finished playing for 2 hours with a friend.
Game is hot. I got the Renegade edition. It's definitely nice, but I dunno if it's $200 nice.
The game is fun though. Played on medium, got comfortable and moved it up to hard. Hard is a challenge, but I feel the pace flows better with the songs.
All the crossfader movement and stuff gets ya, but man..the game is fun.

I understand the complaints, but the issue is, this guy COMPLETELY missed the point of the game.
For some random and bizarre reason, he got the impression DJ Hero was going to let you mix yourself on the fly.
Now, I can only assume that DJ Hero 2 will allow a freestyle mode (I hope), and it would have been a GREAT inclusion in THIS game, but seriously, if this game was going to be about doing your OWN mixes, then wouldn't you just buy your own cheap mixer, and do it yoursefl at home?
smh.

Yah so that is my question. You can get max stars for a set by playing on easy, and then you don't earn anything for playing a set on medium or difficult or whatever? So what is the point then? Or is there some other way you can earn stars too, not just during the mixes.

omg what a slick package (the game, not the box )
Obviously, the thing that makes the game is the track list; totally unprecedented to have so many new, original mixes professionally made for the game. It makes it a unique experience from Guitar Hero or Rock Band, even - it's like DJ Hero is its own universe, with music crafted explicitly for it. Oh wait, it is!
Graphic design, iconography, menus, interface, all amazing and far beyond post-Harmonix Guitar Hero games.
It is indeed light on modes and I wish it had a more immediate and integrated leaderboard display (why does nobody notice what Geometry Wars 2 did??) With /so much/ music, a Rock Band style world tour mode could really be fleshed out and non-repetitive.
The basic play mechanic experience is great though; I always wanted to get into Beatmania but could never master the finger gymnastics required. This I can play.
Only thing that really bothers me is the keys on the turntable platter itself are cheap feeling and clackity. Yet the turntable itself feels incredibly solid and floats gloriously under the fingertips.
I do wish it had a full Harmonix style music store. I'd love to get some serious millage out of this game.
Overall, an impressive debut, due largely to the mind blowing setlist.

My Renegade case came bent out of shape and doesnt stay shut. Glad I only paid $45 for it, at $200 it's total crap. Hopefully I can get it replaced without having to send the entire set back to Amazon.
Game is ridiculous fun. My initial complaint was the small margin for error (especially when you need to go crossfading crazy) but I'm getting better. And scratching w/ the blue button was tough too but I developed a good technique for it. Set list is out of control too. Not sure what the complaints about the crossfaders center were, mine clicks in pretty well.

as mentioned earlier, one helpful thing about the crossfader is that you don't actually have to move it all the way back to the middle for it to move onscreen.
As long as it senses enough "momentum" going left or right, it'll move in that direction, even if you haven't pushed it to the actual center click point.
