The A.V. Club: DJ Hero Review

The A.V. Club writes: "Activision's DJ Hero celebrates the origins of turntable-based music in appropriate fashion: It pushes the rhythm-game craze forward by swinging back around to its roots. Before developer Harmonix dropped the first Guitar Hero, the company created games in which little robot DJs flipped between rails of light, activating and essentially remixing songs by acts familiar and obscure. DJ Hero, by Freestyle Games, modifies that concept with a unique turntable controller. The experience of playing captures the DJ's allure and gives players a glimpse of hip-hop's origins."
