Last year Activision released DJ Hero to much fanfare, but also much derision. There was a feeling that Activision was trying to milk the success of the Guitar Hero franchise even more than it already had and the game was, to be honest, a failure in the sales stakes. However, Activision and game critics saw enough in the series to warrant a sequel and to be honest, they probably had to do it considering people had just paid quite a significant amount of money for a turntable peripheral. Cynics aside, DJ Hero 2 has a lot to offer. The developers have learnt from the original game and listened to the criticism to craft one of the best music games around.

DJ Hero 2 picks up where the first game finished (if you could consider the first game to have a story, that is). You are a somewhat established DJ who wants to build up an Empire around the globe with a number of nightclubs. To do this you travel the globe showing off your DJ skills before moving on. The Empire mode is a mixed bag of good and bad.
