say what you will, the music in dj hero is kinda awesome. were it not for my aversion to plastic "instruments" i would be playing this game right now.
seriously? did the game do that well? i seem to remember rapid price drops. isnt it like a hundred bucks now?
Bring me a better,improved DJ Peripheral without rewind probs n less probs and i'll think about it..meanwhile NO
Is this the fastest turn-around on a sequel? The game came out at the end of October; three months later, the sequel is announced.

I do thoroughly understand the hostility toward Activision but I personally felt that DJ Hero was the best peripheral-driven music/rhythm game to come out last year. I think #2 will probably peak the series and iron out any issues with the first game (there were a few), and then the series, like Guitar Hero (though I did like the song selection of GH5... the gameplay was a bit much), will sort of start to decline from there.
Not porting songs over will be retarded, but DJ Hero is still sweet as hell. The soundtrack is in a good way.
The first one was great, got it for my girl and have been insanely addicted to it since then. Its a lot easier to learn then GH in my opinion since I always had trouble getting to the bottom key.
In all I think the music is great, the ability to play guitar + turn table is a plus as well. I would rather they keep releasing packs to the first one and maybe expanding that more, but I would get a second one barring I didn't have to buy any new peripheral.

if this is a software only update, the quick turnaround doesn't seem so bad.
If its hardware again, i'm mad skeptical. again.

I haven't played DJ hero in awhile but this news makes me want to break it out real quick. I'd totally buy a sequel, possibly even with a second turntable if they give me enough reason to do so.
If the music on the sequel is not some Frankenstein monster of cut up and remixed songs of random genres I might consider getting it. Even then, I would have a serious problem with buying it if Activision are just going to release a sequel to the sequel in like 9 months with a better turntable and more songs. That would be the main reason why a Guitar Hero or Rock Band game has never entered my house.
I actually enjoyed DJ Hero despite my irrational hatred of Activision. But they've got some work to do to make the sequel worth buying.
1. Lower the price point. Most consumers felt that DJ Hero was cool but too expensive, which is why it sold like pre-owned diapers.
2. Get some good downloadable content instead of releasing 2-3 packs and just saying "fuck it".
3. Stop mixing the same songs over and over. DJ Hero has FAR too much "Feel Good Inc." and "Hollaback Girl". Get more original mixes, maybe put in a few songs that weren't remixed for the game but are just good showcases of turntabilism.
4. Add some more guitar/DJ mixes. Those were the best part of that game.

5. Let me create my own mixes and scratches, realtime or no.
6. Find a way to throw in an open world career mode
7. Create some sort of RTS miniGame w/ achievements and stuff that also uses the controller. The act of turning on/off forces with the sliders would be pretty radical
8. Create whatever game they show of in the intro video. Because that looks bananas.
b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

I'm glad to hear this. DJ Hero is the only one of their recent music games that had anything new to offer.
Had I shelled out for that turntable and only have ONE game to play with it, I'd be pretty pissed. That is all.
And with this, I hope, music games die quick and painful death and perhaps after twenty years we'll see someone running out of his office shouting 'It's alive! It's alive!'
