can we play with wiimote only?

 

Looks meh to me ...

 

So the turntable IS necessary for playing? Crap...wish I could jus' plug on my turnies & mixer...

 

Yeah its $119.99 here in the states. I'll wait till they sell it separately. I am interested in the DL though, they said the soundtrack was amazing but Im not going to get a game just to hear the music, that'll only make me want to play it more.

I heard there is a few tracks that use the GH guitar.. Anyone know how many?

 

i got it yesterday it's pretty fun, the thing kept on disconnecting mid song and that got really annoyying overall fun game, the learning curve pretty quick but the game is hard.

 

Some more info and impressions of this game.

IGN review

So it's a great game, even a must-buy if you love music games.

 

Oh okay, Thanks

Guess I'll have to get it then

 

like other guitar hero and rock band games, you need to pay for DLC. i think monster hunter for wii is the only pay to play online game so far. correct me if im wrong

 

too bad you'll need the turntable controller. but i personally did buy this for my 360... it's awesome. best music game ever. i'm an actual dj, as my name would suggest, and though this is not a true 'simulation' of djing... it takes enough of the 'realistic' elements (especially use of the crossfader) that it makes the game just so awesome. the track selection is just awesome... it's nice to go across so many genre's (rock, dance/electronic, pop, hip-hip/rap). if you love your rhythm games, and want something different then the guitar, drums and mic... get this. note... this game is nothing like beatmania... this game is way better then that game ever was, and don't wait for 'Scratch the DJ' even with it's 'professional' Numark controller, the gameplay will not compare vs DJ Hero (as Scratch is a near direct ripoff of konami's beatmania).

And yeah, DLC is of course to just 'extend' the already large song collection of DJ Hero.

 

Played the xbox 360 version for about an hour in game & hmv in Cardiff. Great fun & the soundtrack is brilliant. This will appeal to all the 80's retro hiphop heads. Modern hiphop fans will also get a kick out of it as it has tracks from some of the finest hiphop groups / solo artists in history Most tracks on it are really cool unlike Rockband and Guitar hero which have a few good songs and a load of bad songs too. I know there are production costs for the hardware but £120ish pound (£175 in game) for the DJ controller is a little steep, especially for only one game title!

Hopefully some bright spark will create a homebrew app that will let us use the gh guitar instead of the dj controller but i doubt thats possible as the games code would probably need adjusting too!

Green, Red & Yellow buttons could be used on both Guitar and DJ controller.
Blue & orange buttons on GH Guitar could be scratch up/scratch down.
up/down on the strum bar on the GH Guitar could double up as a crossfader.
Tilting Guitar up or pressing whammy bar would sort out the 'euphoria' feature much the same as GH and RB.

Ah well, one can dream i suppose!!!!

Has anyone tried just running the game yet without the hardware???

Can you get past the menu with a gh guitar plugged in?

Can you get past the main menu in order to listen to the soundtrack?
