Just as we speculated, those early shots of the DJ Hero controller werenât showing the whole thing. That was being saved for, what else, an article in Game Informer magazine.

Also revealed in the mag is how the game actually works. Itâs mostly like Guitar Hero, with notes cascading down the screen towards you, however this time around there are only three notes, with complexity coming from the fact that in addition to hitting those three, you need to have the cross-fader in the right position. Replacing sustained guitar notes will be scratching sections, with small arrows in the coloured line telling you which way to turn.
Finally, the article mentions a few confirmed tracks for the game. Iâll warn you, if youâre approaching this game with any semblance of pessimism or doubt, do not read any further.
âFeel Good Inc.â (Gorillaz) vs âI Heard It Through the Grapevineâ (Marvin Gaye)
âJayouâ (Jurassic 5) vs âRockitâ (Herbie Hancock)
âBustinâ Looseâ (Chuck Brown) vs âTime of the Seasonâ (The Zombies, DJ Shadow Mix)
âAll Apologiesâ (Nirvana) vs âGive It to Me Babyâ (Rick James, DJ Shadow Mix)
âLetâs Danceâ (David Bowie) vs âJack of Spadesâ (KRS One, DJ Shadow Mix)
âShoutâ (Tears for Fears) vs âPjanooâ (Eric Prydz)
Nirvana vs Rick James? Oh dear.
