Most of us had a bit of a dig at Activision when the original DJ Hero was released. This very promising game was slapped with a price tag that would make Bill Gates think twice – a shame really as there was much fun to be had, and some fantastic tunes on offer.
Things worked out in the end though, and thanks to some insane discounting from retailers Activision recently confirmed the game has sold over 1.2 million copies.
So on to DJ Hero 2 then, which is looking like it will blow the original straight out of the water. It has been confirmed that 108 artists are in the game. Check out the list below;

You must be joking?
Was I the only one who read this list with a depressed sigh and said “No change from the first game then. No lessons learned.”?

nope, its what I thought too

I’m with you on this one. They will probably release a bunch of mainstream house tracks some way along it’s lifecycle “Activision Style”. And by that I mean 5€/track for a 24 hours rent or one time use only…

Don’t care about much else after reading ‘The Checmical Brothers’ & ‘The Prodigy’ – Sold!
(Does help that i am a big fan of hip hop too though i guess!)

Oh hell yes!

Better but still Americanised
They really should do different versions for different territories and release everything you don’t get as DLC
Far too much rap and/or hiphop to be relevant this side of the pond

Wow thats alot more!
