Kinda makes you wonder what 'world's best DJ's' created these mash-ups.

Meh, the list is fairly disappointing to me. Not they would have ever picked any of the artists I would have wanted to see anyway, so I can't really say much I guess.

@Sir-Lucius does anything for Dethklok: True, while I don't mind mash-ups usually as some work brilliantly and others are an ear sore. I wouldn't have minded singles (not mash-ups) from big DJ names like Tiesto, Benny Benassi, Armin van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, ATB, David Guetta, BT or Kosheen, etc. Real DJ's that you'd see ranked on the likes of thedjlist.com even. Either way, the game seems more like a subjective mash-up hero, than a real DJ hero.

@TC: See, yeah, I can't stand any of the artists you listed. Which is what I mean. If they aren't gonna pick the big names like that, there's no way in hell they'd go for the lesser known artists I'd like to see.

@Sir-Lucius does anything for Dethklok: The thing is this game misrepresets the genre as nothing but mash-ups. Regardless of either of our tastes within the genre. :)

I really want to buy this game... I'll probably will, but there's so much rythm games going on in my life right now and so many other games yet to buy that this thing most likely is gonna have to wait for me until the second installment or a price drop next year.

Im pleasently surprised by the variety of the soundtrack. While most people are gonna say "OMG Vanilla and Gwen Stefani this gam suxors" Im looking at the positives.

Gang starr, Mos def, tuipac, Justice, Jay-z, Public Enemy, N.E.R.D, Bel Biv Devoe, Wale, Jackson 5, Gorrillaz, common, marvin gaye, q-tip? That list alone is making this game look like a must buy for me.

Now all thats left to see is if the gameplay itself is very compelling

@edum: Most likely there's a "secret" extra mash-up/song like there's in every RB, GH game when you get to the "end".

A DJ game with no trance? No house? No drum n bass? No down tempo? Not even some good old, 90s freestyle. Virtually no electronic music to speak of?

Instead we get a game full of pop music and hip hop garbage. Well, the upside is I wont be wasting my money on this junk.

@MaWeiTao: Maybe it's because those genres make use of synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, and samplers faaaar more than they do turntables? Ya know, the device this game is built around.

Turntables are far more suited for this kind of music than the genres you listed.

In other words, you were barking up the wrong tree from the start if you really expected the game to feature those genres prominently.

@Sir-Lucius does anything for Dethklok:

You sir, are an idiot.
I have 4 turntables hooked up to a mixer and a macbook at home, and use it for nothing else but electronic music.

And i don't know if you've ever been to a house party, but you do realize the DJ's there use turntables right?

@zelfmoordkonijn: Actually you're right. I was thinking more in terms of actual production. Live DJ sets are more likely to make use of turntables.

ICE ICE BABY VS. U CAN'T TOUCH THIS. My 6th grade-self just exploded.

Not buying it though. I have enough plastic instruments. Not too big on supporting Activision either.

Wow...I thought it was bad when GH started having more than one song from a single artist...now they've not only got more than one song...but they use those songs more than once.

Lame.

@TRT-X: You're comparing apples and tungsten. Two different DJ mixes can be completely different songs, especially when one of the halves of the mashup is different.

While I would like to see less repeats, I don't think the repeating tracks are going to seriously hurt the final result. This isn't the same type of game as Guitar Hero and the approach to tracks isn't the same.

I want to try a store demo unit before blowing $120 on this. It sounds cool... just not $120 cool.

@IndustrialJones: I'm probably going to wait for the inevitable price drop. I think I could have fun with this, but given that Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tours were selling for less than $100 this year, I figure holding out will be worthwhile.

Dear god, that box art is HIDEOUS. It's like a kaleidoscope of mismatched colors and cheesy, fake '90s logos.

@Ken: My brain is a bottomless vault of old pop culture references and useless knowledge. Gotta keep the classics alive somehow.

Heh. I wonder if the makers of this video saw the "Christian Rock Hard" episode of South Park...or if the black guy being on bass was completely coincidental.
