I'm ready to take the floor and send my fans into a euphoria and pure panda pleasure....with music
The gamer fan base was excited to the end of their sanity when Harmonix teamed up with MTV and Activision to bring Guitar Hero to this planet. Fingers fidgeted along the fret keys, hands furiously fapped at the strum bar [Yes I said it so what?!] Men and women gathered to test their rock skills to this masterpiece…but what about those out there who want to rock out but haven’t found their medium?
At this year’s E3 I was about to watch a demo of Activision’s latest rhythm based game [Can I even say that really?!] Yes ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you DJ Hero. If you feel your house isn’t cluttered with peripherals enough, add this one you’ll see why…
So the controller obviously looks like a turntable with complete 360 degree spinning capabilities. There are three buttons on that: blue green and a longer red on for your middle finger. The other side of the controller has a mixer which when on the left corresponds to one color, on the right side corresponds to another and when it is places in the middle it plays both. [This is a key concept to this game]
There is a single button that when hit [with the euphoria bar filled up] will send the crowd into the most pleasant state of being imaginable!
They didn’t go into character construction or any of those small details that make this game more personable to a gamer’s personal style.
Speculation dictates that this has the potential of being this holiday’s “it” item. This is all well and good. This is due to the fact that it appeals to a large group of the base.
If I were to predict who would be most likely to buy this game and excel at it, I would blindly say women gamers. I do not say this because I am in fact a woman, but I say it because of the game play motions necessary to achieve the highest amount of points. It is understandable if that triggered the most perverted thoughts to enter your mind. [IN FACT I welcome them!] If that doesn’t give you a clear image to what I am talking about, then I urge you to listen to Dane Cook talk about “DJ Diddles” Now if that didn’t give you an idea then I strongly suggest you get from underneath the rock you’ve been living under for most of your life. [Trust me it is nicer out here!]
[TskTskTsk] Activision… I fear you have peaked too soon in your quest for rhythm-based dominance. We all know you walked the path with Harmonix and MTV Games. Now at this year’s E3 you were not only showcasing DJ Hero, but you were also highlighting Guitar Hero 5, and Band Hero [Which I assume is Guitar Hero World Tour all over again] DJ Hero seems the most refreshing rhythm based game to come out of your camp since the initial Guitar Hero.
DJ Hero does not only seem to be the it game to look forward to…but…it could potentially lead to a decrease in the renting of DJ’s for parties in the future, why rent one when you could be one?!
