Music rhythm games have taken the videogame world by storm. From Dance Dance Revolution to Guitar Hero and Rock Band, there's something for just about everyone. Next year, one more piece of the pie will be filled in with Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. This game isn't focused on dancing or playing with a toy guitar. Scratch is all about urban hip-hop music and infusing your creativity into the game with a unique turntable peripheral. To learn more about the game, IGN went to Dan Lehrich, creator of Scratch: The Ultimate DJ.
The battle of the DJ's continue! Scratch The Ultimate DJ is calling all DJ's to film themselves scratching to one of the featured tracks in the game. Winners will be featured on the Scratch Ultimate DJ Youtube and will win a truckload of DJ equipment.
WorthPlaying takes a look at a pre-release version of the DJ Hero turntable controller hardware to see what it does right and where it might fall short.
"Getting gamers to shell out for a $60 controller on top of a $60 game is no easy task, especially in this economy. The proof is visible in the sheer number of Guitar Hero and Rock Band band kits that are available at discounted prices from retailers as well as secondhand. Music fans have already spent tons of money on plastic band hardware, so getting them to repeat the task is going to require a great game as well as quality hardware. The developers behind DJ Hero appear to have the former point covered (for more details, be sure to read our hands-on preview), so when Activision sent over a pre-release version of the DJ Hero turntable controller, we decided to see if the latter point held up."
More tracks have been announced for Scratch: The Ultimate DJ, the latest game to be released along the music theme.
A lot of styles come into being a DJ; there is scratching, mixing, blending, chop and screw music, etc. I don't think they'll pull it off just yet.
Isn't their already BeatMania for this...?
