Although the Guitar Hero series has only been around since 2005, the gobs of exposure--or perhaps over exposure--that it has received has fueled an understandable amount of skepticism among many gamers regarding the future of the overall franchise. After all, once a music game has conquered single player, two-player, artist-specific, full band multiplayer and handheld action, where does it go? Answer: into the DJ booth with DJ Hero. Recently I was able to spend some time with a Xbox 360 demo of the game that has been making the rounds, and here is what I came away with.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Deciding between DJH for Wii, Xbox, PS3?,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Wii DJ Hero Bundle with Turntable (Video Game)
I own a PS3, Xbox 360, and a Wii and I have decided to go with the Wii version and don't regret it one bit.
Biggest advantage is power consumption. The PS3 and Xbox 360 is going to use around 180-200 watts of power during gameplay while the Wii sips on only 18 watts. That translates to spending ten times more for electricity if you were to play on the PS3 or Xbox 360 (not counting your TV, A/V system etc). Second advantage the Wii has is the controller, turntable in this case. Like the guitar hero games for wii, all you have to do is plug in your Wii controller into the slot in the turntable and you're instantly connected. This way you don't have to buy extra batteries and you have no issues syncing your controller to the system. Last advantage is the built in WiFi for the Wii. I don't have a wireless adapter for the xbox 360 nor an ethernet cable long enough to attach it to my router. Knowing that I might eventually purchase tracks online or play against friends, I had to go with the system that has wifi connectivity. Disadvantages to the Wii version? The graphics of people dancing on the screen aren't as nice as it is on the PS3 or Xbox 360. Doesn't really matter to me though, the spinning record on the screen that you follow for the beats is still looks as clear as any other system. Of course if you want to play against your friends online and they have the PS3 or xbox 360 version then that could also play a factor. Online play for the Wii isn't as refined as it is on xbox live but at least it's free. The game itself though is just awesome. I loved it so much that I got through all the tracks in a day so I really wish they had more. The crossfader will annoy you at first because it's difficult to click it back to the neutral position but you will develop muscle memory for this and I think it adds a somewhat enjoyable challenge to the game. Also it doesn't actually have to click into the center spot to register as center on the screen so don't waste your effort on trying to get it back to exactly on the center. You can undershoot it but never overshoot it or else it might register as the direction you're moving it in. In case you were wondering, the difference between this and the more expensive Renegade version is that the Renegade comes with a case that turns into a stand for the turntable along with a sleeker black finish on the turntable and an Eminem Jay-Z CD which isn't playable in the game. But please, do yourself and the environment a favor by buying the Wii version of this and other games whenever possible. Save the Xbox 360 and PS3 for games like Call of Duty, Forza Motorsport, or Gran Turismo.

I bought this bundle the other day and the first time I tried it, I played for over 2 hours, alone. Of course that was after my son and daughter were done with it, they were on it for 2 hours. The mixes are nothing short of excellent. The tutorials are both great and fun to get your feet wet in the game. Also I find it easier to scratch with the buttons on the "outside" of the turntable instead of the "inside" with my right hand used for the turntable. Trying to hold the Blue button with your ring finger with the buttons on the "inside" and scratch at the same time is a bit awkward due to the slight weight of the turntable. I prefer scratching using my index finger on the Blue button. But that's just me. Also, keep those greasy foods away! HAHA! Even sweaty fingers alone will make it a bit harder to keep the buttons pressed as you scratch on the turntable.
Pros: - Hours and hours of fun. - Mixes are great, whether you just listen to them in party mode or playing along. - All ages will enjoy this game, either watching or trying it. - Very easy learning curve. - Varying levels of difficulty keeps everyone hooked on the game. Cons: - Only 1 turntable. I know, this is getting picky, but that is all I can say that is a downside to the bundle.
