IncGamers' Tim McDonald turns his DS into a deck with DJ Star.
From the review: "It might be cynical of me to think that DJ Star is a cash-in on the current DJ craze in videogames, but can you blame me? It releases a little while before DJ Hero, it comes at a time when there's an outpouring of news regarding DJs in games, it's on the DS – which, much as I love it and much as it has brilliant games, is still the system that lords over the sewer of shitty shovelware – and it's named similarly enough to DJ Hero that it might trick a few grandmothers into buying it for their beloved grandchildren because they think it's that pop music game thing little Billy wanted for his GameStation 5."
Deep Silver Inc. and the French game developer Game Life, have announced the release of DJ Star for the Nintendo DS. The game allows music lovers imitate their idols and realize their dreams of becoming DJ stars themselves.
Games2C:
"A better idea – but let down by poor execution is the music creation feature which basically allows you to string a load of pre–set samples together in different musical genres. The feature is a bit over simplified to be of any real use – but mildly more entertaining than the Career mode.
And that just about sums up this disappointing DJ title. Murder on the dancefloor? Not quite – but certainly no club banger and definitely not troubling the charts anytime soon."
GameOn writes: "DJ Star, a game in which you 'become' the DJ is taking a rather large leap, feet first into a world of clubs, pubs and parties in a game for the Nintendo DS that is tryingly aimed at more than just those who want to become DJs.
Little Worlds Studio have created a unique little game, in which you have to peddle your way to the titular spot of 'DJ Star' with help from your implied manager who also seems to be the doorman of the club your trying to get into at the start of the story. That's right, I said story. This is a game, about mixing music for varying amounts of club goers trying to give them a good time... and there's a story."
Sneaky game devs :)
OMG :lol: bubble burst already?
