Review for game – by IGN
“…DJ Hero 2 doesn't mess anything up that made the first game great.
I personally prefer the tracklist of the original DJ Hero, but it will come
down to how much you like Top 40 radio hits from the likes of Lady Gaga and
Pitbull. This is still the best soundtrack of any music game, and the mash-ups
remain impressive as hell. There are great new additions like Battle Mode and
Freestyle crossfading, but also a couple missteps like vocals and Freestyle
scratching. If you liked DJ Hero, I'm confident you'll like the sequel and
I recommend it to anyone even casually interested in DJ or dance
culture.”
IGN RATINGS FOR DJ HERO 2 (WII)
8.0 Presentation
Nice little touches like Achievement/Trophy progress and the Hero Feed.
Calibration and load times take a while, though.
8.0 Graphics
DJ Hero 2 looks just like the first game. Dynamic camera swoops keep things
exciting for onlookers.
9.5 Sound
The mash-ups remain incredible. The tracklist comes down to personal preference,
but I'm a bigger fan of the mixes in the first game.
8.5 Gameplay
New additions like Battle mode and Freestyle crossfading are great. Vocals and
Freestyle scratching are unnecessary, though.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
You can reach the end of Empire Mode in fewer than five hours, but the improved
DJ Battles will keep you playing longer than the first game.
