Music and Gaming Via a Revolutionary Controller
Like the music that inspired it, DJ Hero allows players to experience music in a new revolutionary way owing to owing to its game-specific controller. Included with the DJ Hero software, the DJ Hero controller is a combination turntable and mixer that immerses you into authentic DJ culture allowing you to scratch, cross-fade, and beat match. The turntable half of the controller features three affect-coated buttons used to direct action during gameplay and a accurately rotating turntable. The contrary end of the controller contains the mixer controls in the form of a lateral fader allowing for switching between tracks and mixing, a knob for additional effects and a button for capturing “euphoria,” a star potential-like point bonus.

In addition, the mixer part of the controller detaches to accommodate left-handed players and contains an out of the way compartment holding a D-pad and conventional controller buttons for simple console navigation. Taken together, both halves of the controller allow players to customize their mix with a variety of effects and samples transforming a face in the crowd into the life of the party.

Gameplay
Gameplay in DJ Hero is reminiscent to sports meeting in the Guitar Hero series. Musical prompts stream towards players on one of three affect-coded ribbons; red and blue which correspond to the two tracks that the player is able to simultaneously or individually manipulate, as well as a red one between these two, used to insert samples. In addition to hitting individual clarification and samples, players are also challenged to scratch on command by critical the appropriate button for the track and sliding the turntable up or down as indicated on the ribbon. The game also provides players with a chance to turn back the timer on earlier action via its “Reverse” feature. This ability is monitored via the reverse meter that levels higher with flourishing play, and and when full allows the player to reverse the song to fix errors in their earlier performance. The reward for precision is the build up of points, which can be temporarily doubled via euphoria potential with the push of a button on the mixer end of the controller.
