It had to happen – DJ Hero will follow in the footsteps of Guitar Hero by featuring famous artists to grace their decks – and we will have both Jay-Z as well as Eminem bringing some of their best loved tunes to the DJ Hero title in a special branded edition of the game which will be accompanied by an advanced version of the game’s turntable controller alongside a metal traveling case which is more than ready to double up as a performance-ready DJ stand, alongside a couple of exclusive music CD compilations that carry the greatest hits and new mixes from each artist. In addition, Jay-Z and Eminem are generous enough to provide downloadable content later this year so that DJ Hero fans will have more tracks to master by then, offering maximum replayability value.

DJ Hero immerses fans into DJ culture and a sea of music as they take turns with their friends, scratching songs, playing along to the hottest tracks and ruling the party. The game’s innovative turntable controller was created exclusively for the game and features familiar DJ tools including a fully-rotating turntable, sample buttons, effects dial and crossfader. Players master various DJ techniques as they play along to visual cues for scratching, blending, crossfading and sampling, and can also add their own creative spark by choosing to add a variety of effects, samples and scratches. Social expression is heightened with euphoric multiplayer gameplay where two DJs can battle competitively or have a player join in to emcee over any track in the game using any USB compatible microphone. Additionally, gamers can rock together as DJ Hero features DJ-guitar exclusive mixes played with a turntable controller and Guitar Hero guitar controller.

DJ Hero will hit the markets this fall, accompanied by two other titles from the same publisher – the highly anticipated Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero.
