Like other music games before it, DJ Hero features various songs, and in most cases two songs mixed together, that can be played by matching your actions on your instrument to the music. Now, let’s get down to the actual gameplay shall we. And don’t worry left-handers! The crossfader/button section of the turntable can be flipped to allow for left-handed use.
