Ever wanted to be a DJ? Or a DJ Hero for that matter? If you had asked me those questions a couple weeks ago I might’ve said “Meh, not really” and shrugged my shoulders.

After several band-specific Guitar Hero games and the latest game, Guitar Hero 5, Activision has now ventured into a new franchise. With all the attention surrounding DJ Hero, I decided to take a look and see if this game breaks the mold of past music games, or if it’s just another excuse for Activision to sell us more plastic instruments.
