If you are in to the clubbing scene at all, or have any aspirations towards being a DJ you'll definitely find this game worth picking up. The career mode could be finished in a day or so if you are good enough, but it's got plenty of replay value, not just to rack up scores, but to make music. Activision have DJ Hero on the way, but if you can't wait for it, or don't have access to a console to play it on, then this is a great alternative.
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."
