Ich gebe mir die Ehre und starte mal den 'DJ Hero'-Thread überhaupt.
Direkt zum Start mal die grundlegenden Informationen für Unwissende ...

Das Gameplay
Nun ... jeder dürfte mittlerweile Activisions weitreichende (Man könnte sie auch durchaus "ausgeschlachtet" nennen ...) 'Guitar Hero'-Reihe kennen. Vom Prinzip her ist DJ Hero nicht anders. Es geht simpel und einfach darum mit den gegebenen Möglichkeiten des Turntable-Controllers die passenden "Töne" zu treffen, via Crossfader zwischen den beiden gemixten Tracks zu wechseln und zu 'scratchen'. It's as simple as that.

Der Controller


Sehr übersichtlich.
* 3 Buttons für die Streams auf dem voll drehbaren Plattenteller
* Crossfader (unten links)
* Pitch Control und "Euphorie-Button" (mitte links)
* Verstecktes Steuerkreuz samt Guide-, Back-, Start, und Connect-Button, sowie die üblichen ABXY-Buttons (oben links)
(wie vom GH/RB-Equipment gewöhnt)

Der Controller lässt sich zudem einfach demontieren und umstecken, damit die Linkshänder unter uns einfacher spielen können.

Ähm ... Wut? Was ist "Euphorie" ?
In Guitar Hero nennt es sich 'Star-Power', bei Rockband glaub ich auch ... und das ist es im Grunde auch für DJ Hero - nur mit anderem Namen. Sobald man es einsetzen kann fängt der Euphoriebutton an rot zu blinken. Einmal aktiviert gibt es über einen gewissen Zeitraum einen höheren Multiplikator. Zudem übernimmt "Euphorie" für die Zeit die sie andauert die Kontrolle über den Crossfader, sodass man sich voll und ganz auf die Buttons und das Scratchen konzentrieren kann. ( Die Leute, die sich an 'Noisia' wagen werden, werden Euphoria zu schätzen wissen - glaubt mir xD )

... und was bietet mir DJ Hero an Musik?
Wohl das Wichtigste am Spiel: Die Musik.

Geht man die Tracklist so durch, scheinen es auf den ersten Blick sehr viele HipHop-lastige Tracks zu sein. DJ Hero ist allerdings kunterbunt gewürfelt. Die Musik reicht von den Gorillaz, über die Beastie Boys, über Daft Punk, über Dizzee Rascal bis hin zu meinem (nicht homo-erotisch) heissgeliebten DJ Shadow. Aber auch die üblich verdächtigen Mainstream-Artists lassen sich nicht bitten: Eminem, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Jay-Z ... sowas halt. Dazu noch diverse Tracks von Beck, Rick James, Jackson 5, Benni Benassi, David Bowie ... und wir haben eine ziemlich interessante Mischung. So verschieden die Tracks auch sein mögen: Ich habe bislang noch keinen Track gefunden, der nicht gut, bzw. schlecht war. Alles in allem beinhaltet DJ Hero ueber 90 Tracks verschiedenster Richtung, die in vielen erdenklichen und unerdenklichen Weisen zusammegemixt wurden - inkl. exklusiver Tracks und Mixes, die nicht (legal) auf CDs erscheinen werden.

Aber genug von mir. Hier die Tracklist:

Hmmmmm. Hab ich irgendwas Wichtiges vergessen? Wenn Fragen da sind, schmeisst sie einfach hier in den Thread. Je nach Gewichtung kann ich die dann noch hier einfügen.

Ansonsten gibts nicht mehr viel zu sagen ...
Im nächsten Beitrag gibts dann eine Auflistung der Leute, die das Spiel haben und zur diversen Online-Veranstaltungen bereit sind.
