There are games and there are music games. Of all the music games created, it's DJ Hero that lives on. With the availability of mash ups and also a turntable controller, you've got everything made with the DJ Hero 2. As soon as you get your DJ Hero, you can set it up the way you would with the Guitar Hero game. You have colored notes going down the runaway and you hit the corresponding buttons on your turntable controller going with the flow of the music and of course, the time. You can also do a bit of scratching as well as some crossfading to make your music game that much more exciting.

If you are wondering what type of music you can work with on the DJ Hero 2, you have a wide range of music to choose from. You have songs from Lady Gaga, and all the top 40 club and hip-hop hits your hear on the airwaves to mash up and remix. With this video game, you also have Sean Paul, Damian Marley and so on. The best thing about this music game is that the story modes and the world tours that dominated the first edition are taken out. This way, you can focus on making music.

With DJ Hero 2, you have tools and sort options like duration, artist, title, complexity and so on. It's even possible for you to create a list for a handful of your mixes so you can play them one after the other. If you are happy with the score you get, you can go ahead and challenge a friend to beat your score using the post game menu. As for the main menu of this edition, you can choose to enable the Party Mode. Here, you can play songs in the jukebox style. Relax and enjoy all the remixes played from the Party Mode.

Now if you are ready to do some scratching and crossfading, you can go with the Freestyle section for songs. Be ready to deal with a lag when you're using the trigger sampling and scratching tolls though. DJ Hero 2 also allows a vocalist to participate in the making of music, that is if you want to sing along songs that are remixed, chopped up and scratched. Get the groove going and make that beat. You will have a lot of fun creating your own music with this excellent game.
