DJ Hero 2 demos hit Best Buy and the web, new trailer hits our soul
35
If your lack of a turntable -- or a current-gen gaming console, for that matter -- kept you from enjoying the Xbox Live and PSN demo for DJ Hero 2, you've now got a few other options for channels through which to get a sample portion of the upcoming rhythm sequel. The first, and most accurate method for you to try out the game is to go to your local Best Buy, as DJ Hero 2 demo units have been placed in over 900 of the retailer's locations across the country.
A slightly less authentic way to try the game out is to play the flash-based, online demo that was recently added to the game's official site. It boils down the controls to a fairly simple mouse-and-keyboard scheme, but you should get a good idea of what playing the full title is going to feel like.
Finally, you can watch a new DJ Hero 2 trailer after the jump, which seems to indicate that playing the game allows you to kiss the braces right off of an attractive girl's mouth, which we don't really remember happening while playing the series' first installment.

I had a blast with the first game after grabbing it for $40. Enjoyed the demo fir the first and have it pre-ordered (after a few trade-ins to lower the price that is)

...Is it just me, or does the preview have a black dude with white arms?

I really liked the part with the moving the tattoo from one hip to the next, that was cool.

what the fuuuuuuu was that?! The picture alone freaked me out. Is that guy wearing some kind of suit?

The inclusion of that song automatically ruins any chances of me buying this game.

That was one of the worst ads I've seen. Good idea but epic fail in execution.
And where is my electronica!?!?

100% fail. For nothing beyond utter conference room inspired cluelessness.

I get the whole play on word with the "Mixing" but wow... It's like they're saying, "Come one whitey! Scratching/Rap is not just for the Blacks anymore! Climb aboard!".
Are they afraid that not enough white people are buying their games? Do they think that the perception is that Guitar Hero is for white people and DJ Hero is for black people and they had to make a commercial just to inform people that it's not?
I've got no problem with both races being in the commercial but there's a really strong emphasis on pairing 1 white person with 1 black person in this commercial.
So what's next? A Guitar Hero commercial with a black guy and a white guy playing the drums together each holding 1 drumstick? Same combo with 1 strumming the cords of a guitar while the other handles the hammer-ons and pull-offs?
I don't think anything in this commercial was intended as "racial", quite the opposite actually i'm sure. However, it just seemed a little over the top.

There are actually going to be reps in select Best Buys for the next three weeends (10/16-10/31) to help promote not just DJ 2, but also the new Guitar Hero. Come see us at a Best Buy near you...we'll also have a limited supply of t-shirts to hand out.

Agreed. I think if some girl takes your hat it gives you the right to take an article of her clothing.
