DJ Hero 2 builds on the foundation of its predecessor, delivering a rhythm game experience that captures the thrill of being a DJ. With an eclectic soundtrack spanning genres and new gameplay mechanics like freestyle sections and lyrical battles, it expands creative options for players. Its vibrant visuals and party modes make it an excellent choice for social gatherings, while the Empire career mode adds progression. While the vocals are a bit underwhelming, DJ Hero 2 is a blast for fans of music and anyone who ever dreamed of being behind the turntables.
After excellent first game this was an extreme disappointment, a game that destroyed the whole franchise. While the first game had an phenomenally curated art direction in music and DJ culture, this game was all about expanding it's audience, make more money and to please everybody. It was all over the place, with no clear direction or identity and ended up drastically shrinking it's playerbase, all the way to extinction.
I owe so much to this games, that's where I got a taste (alongside the first game) for music, and now I'm deep into it. If the controllers weren't very buggy whenever I pick it up I would play it from time to time. I think sometimes about some crazy mixes in this game, like you don't expect the Lil Jon/50 Cent mash to be this challenging, and the Scratch Perverts mix of Galvanize... what a miracle I found it randomly, that changed my life forever
