Guetta is the day 1 DLC.

come on now, the game has 93 mixes on the disc. Some made the cut, others didn't.
I'm ALL FOR Good Tracks as DLC, if it means more "mainstream" acts need to be on disc to bring in the casuals.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Fuck! When love takes over is fucking awesome. I need to get a point card now. Getting two turntables. Renegade and a regular.

All of the mixes are exclusive to the game ATM. But I wouldn't be surprised to see them purchasable in the future, it is activision afterall.MoeB said:

I'm sure soundtrack rips from the game itself will go up sometime soon anyway.Terrordactyl said:

Im not really feeling the current setlist. And as a PS2 gamer....if its not in the main setlist, it does not exist.
Played this at TRU and it was fun, but I fucking sucked. It's going to be hard listening to people who judge this based on their first time store demo.
It's just very different than the music games that the public have been used to.
But it's good stuff. Definitely getting it. Shame about the RE being fucking $200 though. I think I might be able to get it for like $160 at work though.

As there been pics posted anywhere on what the Wii turntable looks like? Last I remember hearing they were going to have a slot to stick the whole Wiimote in the top where the other versions have the buttons.
I played it in best buy for a little bit, I got kind of OK at medium, like 3 stars. People were definitely looking though. Some guy started asking me questions about it, I noticed not many people cared when no one was on it but once they saw someone playing it they checked it out.

The more I look at the play selection the more I want a DJ Hero: House Edition

I played it in a best buy today. I said meh. It's more fun on hard, but still kinda dull.
Better than the hatred i had for it previous to playing, but still a long way from making this something I'd want even for free.

Some Best Buys are also having a dual DJ Hero/Tekken 6 midnight release I think.ThePeacemaker02 said:

Anyone know when reviews will start getting posted? I'm assuming it'll be today at some point.

There seems to be a lot of Guitar Hero drum sets laying around in their office. I guess they must be hard at work on the sequel which will allow a drummer to play along

Figures. Is this a recent trend, with reviews not going out until release day, or just specific to Activision published titles?Wario64 said:

Pretty Lights DLC confirmed
So, I have newfound interest in this game after looking at the tracklist and playing the game at Best Buy, though I'll probably be waiting on a sale because of all the games I've been buying and not playing lately :-/. Just wondering, how is the DJ + Guitar gameplay? The guitar just plays guitar alongside the DJ? Does it add guitar riffs to the track, or is the guitar player just playing pre-existing notes that would automatically play if he were not present?

Man I was looking at the other DJ Hero thread that is on the front page and it makes me real sad that Freestyle Games is associated with Activision. So many people want this game to bomb (and even I am starting to really hate Acti) but the devs made a really cool new rhythm game and people want it to fail just so Activision gets hurt. Hopefully Freestyle stays OK if the game does less than stellar.

You can play it in GAME, where I learnt that the game should really let you fail. People need to be told they suck at times.
Feels a bit fiddly, getting the hang of the crossfader and where you are on it will take some practice.

Yeah finding the middle of the Cross Fader was an issue when I started playing it at Best Buy.
My post from the other thread:
Played it at Best Buy this weekend... it was fun... but I don't know that it was $120 worth of fun... I kinda agree with a previous comment made in this thread... wish it was straight hip hop music mixes.. and not mixes with pop and other genres...

AHAHAHA
You know the Music Hub? Mysteriously, I just got an email from PR bragging that IGN have the exclusive review. Can't think how they negotiated that.

Also, thought I'd say, still got my preorder on it.
I don't think I felt like I was having that much "fun" with DJ Hero, as there's much more of a learning curve so the 3 songs I played, it was very much trying to get the hang of it (and I swear my timing was better than the game thought ) so I didn't get to really 'enjoy' it so much. I hope it'll come with time.

) so I didn't get to really 'enjoy' it so much. I hope it'll come with time.Played it last night and didnt like it. I've DJed for about 10 years now and this just made me want to hit the decks for real. Actually... after about an hour of playing we went and scratched for 3 hrs. lol
Anyway, I think it's just me though, over all I think most people will enjoy playing it esp those who arent DJs. Everytime I've been to Best Buy for the past couple weeks there has been a fat line of ppl waiting to play..
The learning curve seems a bit steep compared to Guitar Hero and shit like that though. The whole cross fading bit is pretty hard to follow imo.

Agreed, I think they were working on the game for a total of 3 years and I believe that Activision bought them only a year ago. It sucks that people are wanting the game to fail. Even though people are saying that the Herl franchise is being milked it seems Freestyle took a new direction, and executed it well as far as I can tell.darkressurection said:

People forget that GH was also hard until you learned the button press/strum co-ordination. I still see new players struggle with this.
