Holy crap, we have a lot of DJ Hero videos to show you photo

I bet you read our DJ Hero preview and are thinking "Damn, I wonder what that looks and sounds like?" Well, I have good news -- we have a bunch of videos. By a bunch, I mean five.

But there's a lot going on here, including DJ vs. DJ and DJ vs. guitar multiplayer gameplay. Music by Gang Starr, Rihanna, Beck, The Killers, Eminem, and more. Oh, and before I forget to mention, there's a mash-up of Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" and M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This." That's kind of like when Marvel met Capcom, or the DC Universe battled Mortal Kombat. Or that one time Ed McMahon was on Alf. Sh*t was crazy. 

Hit the jump to be blown away.

Mentioning Mortal Kombat made me think the techno Mortal Kombat song was in this game. If it was, insta buy. But it's not, so not gonna do it.

Modern Warfare 2? Assassin's Creed 2? Both can wait. THIS is the game I'm most eager to scoop up in the remainder of 2009. No joke.

Thanks for the clips!

Just as is the case with Guitar Hero and the like, this game just looks tame compared to FreQuency and Amplitude. I honestly don't understand the appeal.

Strangely, as a DJ, I was hoping this would appeal to me, but this is less about actually DJing anything and mixing tracks together and more about using various scratching techniques to spice up a poorly produced matchup.

I tried listening to "My Name Is" vs. "Loser" and frankly, it was horrifying. The gameplay looks awfully boring too. I would hope the harder difficulties look MUCH more difficult. Can we see an expert mode maybe? I might still be enticed but I dunno...

Seriously?

I'm repeatedly surprised by two phenomena related to this game, whenever any new tidbit of info or sneak peek lands.

One, how much more it makes me want this game.

And two, how few other denizens of the Internet think it's anything but finely churned shit.

I'm genuinely surprised. This looks enough like a blast to me that I sound like a paid shill when I talk about how much I can't wait for some hands-on time with it.

Ah well. As the saying goes, "Different strokes for different... differing... you can't fool me twice."

I have no idea what to say to these, other than to say that I'm offended in so many ways that I can't even express it.

People get angry when you take something they care about and try to do something different with it.

I still want a video of somebody playing with the turntable and then the corresponding TV screen.

For me it's backwards. I wasn't interested in this until I saw the videos. I might be a minority here though. :P

...I must be one of the few that enjoyed the Jukebox Hero mix... But honestly, I'm curious about this game, and if I try it and like it, it'll be bought.

I'm excited for this game, but these videos do not enhance my excitement. I want techno, hip-hop, and smooth sounding music; not scratchy sounding mixups that sounds more like jibberish than professionally mixed music.

This better get better before we spend $120 or $200 on this title.

So now we have Gang Starr, Eric B. & Rakim AND Boogie Down Productions in the setlist? I'll hate my self for giving Activision 120 bucks, but it has to be done I guess...
