Thumbs way up to the gameplay, which blends the tried-and-true rhythm formula with fresh elements put forward by the turntable controller. Like other rhythm games, DJ Hero measures your timing against a number of colored icons inexorably scrolling towards a timing bar. Obviously you need to hit the corresponding button as it hits the bar to continue your progress on the song, but that only scratches the surface of the DJ Hero experience. With turntable controller in hand, players will "scratch" by holding down a button and shifting the turntable back and forth, and use the crossfader to fade right or left to highlight a single track.
