DJ Hero 2 Preview; In Stores October 22nd (LOOKS SICK)

DJ Hero 2 is on it's way with a release date of October 22nd. I'm actually not as excited about this one as I was for the first because I haven't played the original DJ Hero that much yet. It's not that the game isn't good. I just haven't had much free time and I kind of forget I own it sometimes.

On top of that, I would rather play it with the speakers turned all the way up to get the best sound but that doesn't exactly work at night when I'm playing games while the wifey is sleeping. I guess I could go with some earphones but I'm too lazy to buy an extension from my stereo. I definitely need to play the O.G. a little bit more before I get DJ Hero 2. Hopefully they will drop the price by the time I'm ready to buy it.

Anyway, here is a little more info about DJ Hero 2. As you will notice in the clip above of the RZA, you can actually play the game as some of the top DJ's and producers in the business today. This includes DJ Tiesto, A-Trak, Q-Bert and Jazzy Jeff to name a few.

There will 83 new mixes available to use during the game including songs from Busta Rhymes, Lady Gaga, Eminem, David Guetta and Kanye West.

Here are a few samples:

Busta Rhymes – “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See” Mixed With M|A|R|R|S – “Pump Up The Volume”
Naughty By Nature – “O.P.P.” Mixed With Jackson 5 – “ABC”
Young Jeezy ft. Kanye West – “Put On” Mixed With DJ Shadow feat. Q-Tip and Lateef The Truth Speaker – “Enuff (DJ Fresh Remix)”
Kanye West – “Heartless” mixed with DJ Shadow – “Midnight in a Perfect World,” Lil’ Wayne – “Go DJ” mixed with 50 Cent “In Da Club.”
2Pac ft. Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman – “California Love Remix” Mixed With B.o.B ft. Bruno Mars – “Nothin’ On You”
Flo Rida ft. Will.I.Am – “In The Ayer” Mixed With Clinton Sparks, DJ Class, & Jermaine Dupri – “Favorite DJ”

You can find a full track list here.

If you already own the first “DJ Hero”, you will be able to buy just the game for most likely $50-$60 since no price has been given yet. A Turntable Bundle will be available for $99.99 just like the original but they have also added a new Party Bundle option. The Party Bundle will cost $150 and will come with 2 turntable controllers, a copy of the game and a microphone.
