Pros:
-turntable design works really, really well
-the game has a huge "fun" factor
-unique, yet familiar to fans of music games
-easy to jump into, yet challenging to master.
-a pretty large setlist/solo mode

cons
-DLC! Where the heck is it? For the ps3 there is VERY little downloadable content and it is outrageously priced. 8 dollars for 3 songs? No way!
-online multiplayer, I think it lacks a big enough audience, sometimes I try to play online and there simply isn't anyone to play. other than that it works smoothly.
-another peripheral to have to store somewhere.

Overall: it is a well polished game that functions really well and can be quite fun and challenging. My only issue is the lack of downloadable content. Eventually you play all the songs and stuff just kind of gets redundant, as with all music games. I beat every song on medium and i will probably go back through and try to beat them all on harder levels (There are two harder than medium and two easier) and then i imagine i will get some online time with it. My 11 year old nephew played it for a couple of days and it seems he lost interest. It is going to be one of those games you only pick up from time to time, but when you do you have a blast.

Sidenote: it would make a fantastic party game with two turntables and a mic (the mic from rockband does work) But, i couldn't justify paying that much for two turntables. I'm hoping a friend of mine buys a turntable so we can get them together some time and play together.

This game really is a blast. Even my wife plays it! She typically, and rarely, only plays button mashing fighting games, rock band, games with simple controls, etc. She had a lot of fun with this, though. Some of the music is boring and you really have to like club music to like it all. There is tons of old, classic stuff, and enough modern stuff that I like to say the song list is pretty stellar. Single player gets old, but the party mode and versus battles are great! Definitely worth a try.

This game is so awesome. As a parent it was great to be able to join in by singing while my son scratched. The music was great and there are so many ways to play!

Great game! I've never had a situation where I couldn't find somebody to play online yet. The music and mixes are fantastic and the controller seems to be decent quality. If you're thinking about buying one, I'd just do it. It's a wireless controller and you can also use it to play DJ Hero 1.

The only cons I can think of is that the DLC is expensive. As of now, I think they have like 3 packages you can buy and they're all about $8 for 3 songs (give or take). Probably not worth it. That being said, the game comes with about 100 songs, so how many more do you really need?

I bought this game for my 22 year old son, who pretty much has everything he needs or wants
I took a chance, and WOW! did it pay off! He called me last night to tell me how great it is.
He just loves it! I would recommend it to kids of all ages, even MEN!

the packaging was IMPECABLE, well protected and shiny box... BUT! when i tried to sync (i even looked for activision faq) with every recommendation that i saw on youtube and in the activision site, IT DIDN'T WORK AT ALL... both of the lights (dongle & turntable) keeps flashing like looking for each other but i never get a "solid" red (for being correctly sync)... and now i'm unable to return for a product exchange... since i live in another country, it takes a lot of time to arrive to any destination... BUMMER!

Update: Feb 23rd: I sent last night an e-mail to Amazon Customer Service, they are fast in their response! They are concise, very clear and polite with their recommendations. I put 2 more stars because they do deserve it!

got this game at a very low price and when it arrived the controller dongle was broken so I had to send it to Activision to get it fix. The game itself is pretty straight foward, have a turntable, scratch and hit the notes when it comes down

I have to say - this is a great game. I really enjoy it and give it 5/5 stars. Others claim you'll get bored, I didnt...

Dj hero bundle is very entertaining but i have to say that it gets boring after a while. Online play is good you will always find someone to play with. It is really hard to dj for me, i can only do it on easy so for this game you will need alot of skills! Overall this game fun you can listen to songs without playing them.

I found this game cheap so I decided to purchase it. I'm aware that a lot of people were put off by the lack of party play and after having a lot of plastic instruments lying around, I would understand why you'd as a consumer would hate the idea of paying more for another one (plus they take space around the house).

But this game was extremely fun, actually I had more fun with it than with most of the Guitar Hero / Rock band games, then again, I'm a big fan of electronic music and was pleased to see a lot of creative mixes. I've never liked hip hop mixes but they did them well in this game in a way that I wasn't really skipping them at least.

There are sections in some songs that give you a bit of creativity to spice the song with samples or crossfading. I enjoyed the mixes a lot. Too bad that they won't be releasing DJ hero 3, I would have loved to play it.
