DJ Hero 2 is the sequel to DJ Hero, an expansion of the Guitar Hero series. DJ Hero 2 was developed by FreeStyleGames, published by Activision and released worldwide in October 2010 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii consoles. Like its predecessor, DJ Hero 2 simulates turntablism, the playing of two songs in mix, using a special turntable-based controller that includes the ability to crossfade between the two songs, scratching the recording, add freestyle effects. Players are challenged to match these actions, shown through on-screen scrolling indicators in synchronization with the mix; correct actions boost the player's score, while correctly performing several consecutive actions can increase the player's scoring multiplier. The player is not penalized for failing to perform actions. The goal is to obtain a high score for each mix, earning the player a one-to-five star rating, which helps to progress the player's progress through the game.
Setlist[]
DJ Hero 2 contains 83 mashups from nearly 100 songs from about 85 different artists.[1][2] Most mixes involve two different songs, but others are beat juggles using the same core song on two different tracks for unique effects.
