Ice Ice Baby vs Can't Touch This...
You can't get more early 90's hiphop/rap than that.

Pedo, what's truly sad is that I still remember what the lyrics are that go with your "oiksjdlfkahlfhas."

I think this is great. Now maybe bedroom djs who suck will be just that! Bedroom djs who geek out on this game rather then trying to get a real gig and sound like an idiot on a proper sound sytem!!! I love that they have made this game!! Love it!

If only there was some sort of international system of connected information that you could easily search through to find what you want. Some kind of international network of knowledge. Perhaps an encyclopedia that you could instantly search through from anywhere in the world at any time.

If only such a thing existed...

"Motörhead - "Ace Of Spades"

wat? I hate it when rappers/DJ's defile classic rock songs. I dunno if I should be more pissed at Activision or Lemmy for giving them the right to use it.

That's fine. Ace of Spades was included in every single rhythm game ever made. This song got raped so many times that it now looks like a donut.

That said, the Daft Punk inclusions REALLY have me interested, but then again, I pretty sure I am not going to pay $118 for this set up. Maybe when it comes down in price.

I agree, there's enough good stuff here to warrant a couple of play-throughs, but I'm not throwing down $120 on this.

I will pick it up off of Goozex in a few months when people get tired of it.

How 'bout a version with all the songs, but it allows you to choose which songs you play or don't play. That would be incredible. I'm writing a letter to Activision right now.

A good, if very tired, point.

I apologize, I just... I have an unnatural hatred for those two songs, and like everyone else, I feel that I must express my high-level opinion on the internet in order to ease my seething rage with the universe.

Right! I wasn't expecting any real hip-hop classics. But, this track list is pretty fucking sick. Only thing missing is Special Ed "I Got it Made."

You have DJ Shadow, The Scratch Perverts, Cut Chemist and Daft Punk, they are like the Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck and Beatles of the Whole Dj thing.

Also: WHAT THE HELL, SOMEBODY RIP THE AUDIO WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!

and it needs Kraftwerk!

Yeah I'm with you man! Dougan is incredible and I love Danger Mouse but Daft is my favorite group of all time so I think the large amount of their stuff makes up for the lack or some others...Tiesto, Girl Talk?

Yeah I was disappointed in no RJD2 myself. I'll still pick this up on sale if the reviews are good enough though. Killer track list. I can't believe this is coming from Acti.

Jay Z "Excuse me Miss" and Rick James "Give it to me Baby"

I'm digging this game a lot and nice going reaching out to other cultures. I know plenty of people aren't going to give this a try because of the whole demographic that this appeals to (and it's Activision) but whatever I'm going to enjoy it. I thought the same thing about GH/RB that they wasn't going to appeal to me and my family but we have jam sessions all the time.

I got introduced to a whole new (new to me) type of music with GH2 (the first music game that I bought) and have had a blast in the process. There is nothing cooler than having your 10 year old daughter singing Hotel California while your 7 year old is jamming (on hard difficulty!) on the guitar.

I can see the majority of Christmas morning being dedicated to this.

The only songs worth playing are the Daft Punk songs, and those have been spliced with some terrible songs, with the exception of one (I'll give you a hint. It's from a band that starts with Q and ends with ueen).

Sigh. They also had to add the only Daft Punk song that's not worth anything. Around The World? Why?

Hey, I like Around The World. Combined with Bust A Move it could be a really great mix.

If they somehow found an easy way to include support for a standard controller I might consider it. For some reason every peripheral I've tried for RB/GH haven't been as easy to use as the controller. I fail on easy with the guitar, while with a controller I can keep pace on hard.

Still though, this is a new type of "instrument", so maybe I won't have the same problems as before.
