A spin-off of the Guitar Hero series by Activision, developed by FreeStyleGames, DJ Hero is a large variation on the usual instrument-peripheral-rhythm-game-genre, in which instead of a representation of a conventionally popular instrument like a guitar, bass, or drums, you use a turntable peripheral. The difference comes from that while you do press buttons alongside on-screen prompts to interpret a song (albeit with two fewer buttons), some notes require you to hold down the button and "scratch" the turntable. In addition, you also have to adjust your crossfader bar to match the note highways on screen.The soundtrack of the series consists of remixes/mashups of various songs produced both in-house by the developers, or by the several artists brought into the project, including and not limited to Grandmaster Flash, the late DJ AM, deadmau5, Tiësto, and RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame.The original game was released on October 27, 2009 for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. DJ Hero 2 was released less than a year later, on October 19, 2010, for the same consoles minus the PS2.Bears slight conceptual similarity to the beatmania series.In February 2011, DJ Hero, alongside its parent series Guitar Hero, has been given the axe by Activision. In 2015, FreeStyleGames had been put to work on Guitar Hero Live, but a third DJ Hero game looks unlikely... | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Being able to play with the guitar on select songs in the first game, and being able to sing a large amount of mixes from the second. Not quite a gameplay change, but as the vast majority of the mixes in the game are mash-ups, the beat juggles where you play only a single (remixed) song can be a bit surprising. Functionally, they play the same as regular mixes, though. | |

Title Drop: A few times in the first game, but special mention goes to the mashup of Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero" and Z-Trip and MURS' "DJ Hero". | |

Stealth Pun | |
| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: DJ Hero 2 can be bought as part of a bundle that includes two turntable controllers and a microphone peripheral. Fans of the artist Beck may be familiar with phrase "two turntables and a microphone" (sadly Beck doesn't appear in this game in any form). | |

Limit Break | |
| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: "Euphoria", a score multiplier functionally identical to Guitar Hero's Star Power (in addition to automatically handling crossfading, which can be handy during tricky sections), and Rewind, which allows you to rewind to an earlier point in the song. The replayed section will be given double points while you play it. | |

Wolverine Publicity: The "Renegade Edition" of the first game was presented as being a Jay-Z/Eminem edition, with their names prominently on the box and containing a CD of their music. In-game, Eminem's "My Name Is" appears in two mixes (one with Jay-Z), while Jay-Z has an entire setlist with his music. A DLC pack was later released consisting of three mashups between the two. | |

| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: The first game had primarily a mixture of hip-hop and rock music, with some electronic, dance, and pop thrown in occasionally. Meanwhile, the second has a more diverse soundtrack, consisting of more electronic and dance/pop music with less rock. | |

Sampling: Being based around DJing, this is actually one of the features of the game. In the first game only, you can tap the red button during certain freestyle sections to play from one of several samples chosen before you begin the song | |

And Your Reward Is Clothes: Along with other DJs, turntables and skins for the turntables (only in the first game). Less cosmetically, you also unlock new setlists and a few encore songs. | |

Life Meter: Completely Missing In Action! Now you can play without worrying about failing out and still have your score saved. Instead, you'll have to score a certain number of stars from each song to progress, focusing more on being good at the game than just surviving. | |

Time Travel | |
| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_9d6427ec | comment |
Time Travel: Both games allow for spinning the DJ disc backwards to rewind the song a number of measures. There are some mechanical differences between the games, however: In the first game, you can either rewind one measure (360Ëš) or two measures (720Ëš) depending on how many revolutions you spin the disc backwards. This feature was not available on any mode involving two players. In the second game, rewinds take you to the previous section or the beginning of the current sections, shown by "rewind markers" that pass by. There is a power deck that can take you back two sections. Rewinding is possible in two player modes at least. | |

I Shall Taunt You/Trash Talk: During the "Groundhog" beat juggle by Scratch Perverts, a posh British-accented man will try to goad the player into giving up, saying the mix is far too difficult for anyone to perform. | |

Final-Exam Boss | |
| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_c3e4b9fd | comment |
Final-Exam Boss: In both games. While not a final boss per se, the "Groundhog" beat juggle is undoubtedly the hardest mix in the first game, and manages to test all the skills you've learned by gradually escalating the number of things you need to do at once. "Human After All" in DJ Hero 2 is the last mix and, like "Groundhog", slowly but steadily adds more actions the player needs to perform at once. Not nearly the hardest mix in the game, though. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The crossfader does not literally have to be in the center to count as being "centered." Anything not pushed directly to the left or right is considered centered. When you're constantly having to switch crossfades on some of harder songs, this is a blessing. When activating Rewind, crossfading is ignored for several seconds, allowing you to adjust the crossfader in case it was set to a different position that what is currently is after rewinding. | |

| DJ Hero (Video Game) / int_ef43c232 | comment |
Downloadable Content: Purchased by the bunch (Xbox 360 and PS3) or separately (Wii), averaging to about three mixes per setlist throughout the course of the series. It's also extremely expensive, at $7.99 for three songs. With how difficult it is to compose unique mashups compared to just getting the rights for songs and charting them as in Guitar Hero, though, it's justified. | |
