DJ Hero/DJ Shadow- Video Game + Tee Shirt + Stickers Bundle
Description
The makers of Guitar Hero introduce an entirely fresh and innovative
way to experience music and rhythm gameplay. DJ Hero features an
amazing variety of music across genres and tracks that you love. Using an authentic turntable controller,
you will spin and scratch more than 100 songs into unique
mixes and become the life of the party. Get ready for a whole
new phenomena in music.
Like the music that inspired it, DJ Hero allows players to
experience music in a new revolutionary way through through
its game-specific controller. Included with the DJ Hero software,
the DJ Hero controller is a combination turntable and mixer that
immerses you into authentic DJ culture allowing you to scratch,
cross-fade, and beat match. The turntable half of the controller
features three color-coated buttons used to direct action during
gameplay and a realistically rotating turntable. The opposite end
of the controller contains the mixer controls in the form of a lateral
fader allowing for switching between tracks and mixing, a knob for
additional effects and a button for capturing "euphoria," a star
power-like point bonus.
In addition, the mixer portion of the controller detaches to accommodate
left-handed players and contains an out of the way compartment holding
a D-pad and conventional controller buttons for easy console navigation.
Taken together, both halves of the controller allow players to customize
their mix with a variety of effects and samples transforming a face in
the crowd into the life of the party.
Gameplay in DJ Hero is reminiscent to games in the Guitar Hero series.
Musical prompts stream towards players on one of three color-coded
ribbons; red and blue which correspond to the two tracks that the
player is able to simultaneously or individually manipulate, as well as
a red one between these two, used to insert samples. In addition to
hitting individual notes and samples, players are also challenged
to scratch on command by pressing the appropriate button for the
track and sliding the turntable up or down as indicated on the ribbon.
The game also provides players with a chance to turn back the
clock on earlier action via its "Rewind" feature. This ability is
monitored via the rewind meter that levels higher with successful play,
and and when full allows the player to rewind the song to fix
errors in their earlier performance. The reward for precision
is the build up of points, which can be temporarily doubled
via euphoria power with the push of a button on the mixer
end of the controller.
In the tradition of Guitar Hero, which brought gamers into the world
of rock and roll, DJ Hero places players in the DJ booth at some
of the hottest clubbing scenes from around the globe. Party in
venues reminiscent of real world locales including an ultra plush
and sexy Hollywood Hills style mansion, to an open air beach
club in Ibiza.
Although DJ Hero contains engrossing single player game options,
including a career mode, much of the action in the game surrounds
its wealth of multiplayer modes. These include both online and
offline multiplayer competitive and cooperative modes: including
DJ vs. DJ, DJ + DJ and DJ + Guitar.
The DJ Hero set list is constructed of 100 songs, crafted into more
than 80 two-song DJ mixes. These mixes are the product of both
the creative talents of internationally known DJs such as
DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip, DJ AM, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Grandmaster Flash, and Daft Punk, and the
game development team. All songs used are new to the Guitar Hero
family of games and are pulled from a wide array of genres,
including pop, grunge, soul, R&B, techno, hip hop, and house.
