The huge demand for rhythm games initiated new innovations and strategies by game developers. After the initial success of
Guitar Hero and its successive titles, fierce competition was seen between Rock Band and Activision’s Hero franchise.
Rock Band’s novel approach in developing 3 more controllers besides the guitar prompted Activision to release Guitar Hero: World Tour with similar peripherals and improved gameplay. Nevertheless, the launch of DJ Hero does seem to be Activision’s call to prove that it is still the leader when it comes to innovative music games.
One of the best aspects of DJ Hero is its turntable peripheral, which is an exact replica of the classic turntable, though smaller in size. Of course this is just a game, and just like the guitar controller, the DJ Hero controller has few distinct features if compared with the real one. The main objective is to score points by hitting the right buttons on the controller to activate beats or use the attached plastic record when an arc on the screen prompts you to “scratch” in the right direction. For more info on the DJ Hero controller and gameplay check out this in-depth DJ Hero review.
The single player Career mode allows players to select a track list, complete a task and unlock several avatar DJs like Daft Punk, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff etc. as well as cool DJ accessories, exotic venues and much more. Of course, there many DJ Hero achievements that can help you unlock goodies and add gamerscore points to your kitty. Here are some of the best DJ Hero achievements for Xbox 360.
