Microsoft Xbox 360 DJ Hero 2 Video Game

OVERVIEW:

Activision's turntable-twitching rhythm game returns with 83 unique remixes and mashups from such artists as Eminem, Lil' Wayne, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Missy Elliot. As before, players will use a turntable peripheral to scratch, crossfade, and match beats to original works from real-life disc jockeys. A revamped career mode has you trying to lead your unknown DJ on a performance-filled path to become the powerful head of an entertainment empire. New multiplayer modes include "DJ Battles," which offers head-to-head competition with exclusive battle mixes, and "Party Play," which adds microphone support for would-be rappers to bust rhymes while jumping in and out of the game with other partygoers. Playable characters include David Guetta, Tiesto, RZA, DJ Obert, and Deadmau5. DJ Hero 2 is available in three packages: a standalone game for owners of the first title, a bundle with the turntable peripheral, and a special "party" bundle with two turntables and a microphone.
