Jammin’ With DJ Hero 2

Get out your milk crates and headphones because Activision has unveiled DJ Hero 2, the perfect Christmas gift for those who love music and can’t live without their video games.  If you had played the first game, you know how fun this game is and you can create sick mixes even if your name is not Funkmaster Flex. I love the upgrades that Activision had put into the sequel. One new feature is the  multiplayer mode that features custom mixes and authentic back-and-forth DJ gameplay.  The new multiplayer modes include things like the Accumulator, Checkpoints and Streakers to show who reigns supreme. Plus there is a new Empire mode. No it doesn’t mean you construct a Death Star, but you start out on a journey as a lowly warehouse DJ on the road. The more street cred you get you will rise up in the music business. You can become the head of a major music empire. In that mode you will be able to unlock new perks and rewards with each step in your career. Plus they added the use of a microphone to check your lyrical skills which is a great feature to use at your next party.

DJ Hero 2 has restocked their soundtrack with great party anthems. You can check the full list below. You can also change the song mixes in the game with the new Freestyle sections, which let you scratch, sample, and crossfade the way you want.  This allows you to never play a mix the same way twice. Also with all the time you put in creating your Avatar you can use it as your DJ in any game mode. If you feel you have created a sick play list then you can use the Party Play mode that turns DJ Hero 2 into the ultimate party accessory. Let the games incredible mixes play themselves and or jump- in/jump- out to take control and play along without ever stopping the music.


The game is available on the Playstation 3, XBOX 360, and Nintendo Wii platforms. Activision has put some great deals on the DJ Hero 2 bundle pack and party pack. Just in time for the Holidays you can pick up each pack for a lower price. Check out all the game info at the DJ Hero website as well as Amazon.com.
