They came out too late, 2009 and 2010 at the very tail end of the Guitar Hero craze when Activision and Harmonix would both put out 10 new games every year. If they came out a few years earlier they’d get a lot more love and respect.
@@airzingis1169 Every rock/metal fans i've seen had an interest on playing guitar, people listening to this type of music doesn't have the same interest that's the biggest reason of it being not popular
Glad you guys enjoyed the custom lol Definitely check out more customs, the DJH community is full of super talented individuals! Also that Galvanize run was insane wtf 🤯
man i love the dj hero community so much. Still play this game almost daily. The fan made mixes are crazy, theres some really talented people over there with the abilities to make music and chart.
In high school drama club, we'd have a cast party after every show. Quite a few times, I got the opportunity to host, and one of those times someone saw DJ Hero 2 sitting on my shelf. "Hey Phez! Can we try this game out?" I was extremely excited, since I'd never gotten to show this game off to anyone, and it was one of my favorites at the time. However, that quickly faded when people started trying to play. Even on medium, no one could get a handle on it. And it wasn't like they were bad at rhythm games, either: we'd played Rock Band on expert plenty of times. Eventually I was asked if I could show them how it's done, which I did! I went to one of the last tier songs and I aced it. But the damage was already done. "That was cool, but we don't really want to just sit here watching you play." I think that's emblematic of DJ Hero's biggest problems. Unintuitive controls and limited multiplayer options keep THE DJING GAME from being good at parties. It's a real shame.
This is one of those games that I WISH I could be good at. The problem is it's so complex once you get into it that my brain just can't wrap itself around it no matter what I do. It's a shame cause it looks so satisfying to play on high difficulties and get right. I have both games for Wii and the turntable but I'm not very good, and I don't think I ever will be. I do still love this franchise though. It's super special and unique. I wish it had sold well and kept going. 😔
@@Callieforniiaa i know its a bit too late, but there are tutorials to add customs on wii and ps3 emulators. I used the wii tutorial to add custom songs to my xbox with RGH, it's the same process
Damn dude your gonna get good at this quick, scratching is definitely going to be an adjustment but over these past streams your already getting better and better
Im still shocked that people havent ripped and reuploaded these mixes somewhere, or even recreations or something. At least couldnt find anything last I checked.
I've got a playlist from a while back that has a lot of DJ Hero 1 tracks. A handful of them have been copystriken over the years, but still. They're all straight from the source.
I always loved the DJ hero series. Was really happy that it wasn't one of those rhythm games where it baby'd the audience. It really made you learn the mechanics and put your skills to the test when it wanted to. Admittedly sometimes it was at the expense of the mix actually sounding good at times but quite a few really held up being difficult and being fun to casually listen to. I unfortunately never got to enjoy the game later on because of the move to an HD TV and calibrating this game was a nightmare that I could never nail down so things always felt very unresponsive. On a CRT though it was A1.
I still love this game. It’s tacky, but that’s the charm. Edit: HOLY SHIT, WHY DID THIS COMMENT DO BANGER NUMBERS? ALSO, THE BROWN MAN HEARTED IT BUT DUE TO ME EDITING IT, IT DISAPPEARED. I WON… BUT AT WHAT COST
I was always interested in this game back in the day. But I never got to play it and promptly forgot it existed so I never even got to see gameplay on it. So my first experience being watching you and one of my all-time favourite songs being a beat juggle in this made for a perfect first time viewing experience!
That is so sick that such a niche music based game like DJ Hero, can have such a dedicated cult following with the custom songs, loved that game growing up played the Wii version, lotta great memories with it with both of those games, wish I can play it again. Thank you
So glad to see some DJ Hero 2 gameplay, I was lucky enough to be still working as a game tester when this game was in the works and ended up spending 2 months on that game, so much fun!
Ahhhh this takes me back! I never played any of the other more traditional ‘hero/ rock band’ games as a kid, just DJ hero! I wasn’t that good at it but man did I play it a ton!
Have you heard about this double turntable mod by Seba .S? You connect two turntables to one center console, and there are keys on the top of that console you push for the actions while you scratch on the two platters. It's about as close as we'll get to a "Live" style DJ Hero controller!
I'm not sure why, but DJ Hero was always harder than Guitar Hero. My best guess is because what you're actually doing with the music is more abstract than "hold down the button and strum."
I don't think I'll have a chance to get these peripherals where I live so this game exclusively lives and dies online to me. That said, if there's more customs like that first one, I need to hear more if you ever make more vids on it, Alec. This is amazing.
@@acai28 Hell yeah! I only manage to watch stream highlights and stuff on UA-cam because of time zones usually but you're a fun watch no matter where I catch you, so thanks for continuing to put out great content!
*Bruh* the confusion I had on my face with the controller plus game from across another dimension. THEN you pull out the B.I.G x Panic at the disco?? The most confused ive ever been past midnight
Vids like this make me wish Clone Hero would get an update to add DJ Hero to it man. - Taps would probably be little work to implement. - Scratches would basically be strummed notes with a requirement for a direction. (Having that be available for charting Guitar would be a nice + as well) - It'd suck but I'm fine if it didn't have rewind or the "sample" zones. - Much like how we can split the audio track on customs from lead/vocals/drums/etc it'd probably be something like DJTrack_1/DJTrack_2/DJTrack_3 All we need then would be how to make it the controller ourselves/a way to make use of the old controllers work on pc. Anyways Enjoying the content as always ma dood.
People always get scared that this will be applied to robots, like "oh no! we're ever closer to sentient ai robots from the movies!" No. Unless the ai is capable of changing its own functions, there will never be sentience, just the highest form of imitation.
i dont think i ever watched a dj hero video before just with lack of interest since i never played it, but these mixes are actually wild whattt im gonna have to go back and watch your old ones
There’s gonna be more DJ Hero! I don’t have many videos on this channel about the game but I feel like it’s time to bring this game back into some sort of spotlight. The mixes are criminally underrated and the games had so much love put into them
Acai, man you need to do a vid on the custom songs from the djh community theres some bangers, plus, fyi there an extended version of galvanized that someone made
I played this game alot when I was a kid and I thought I was like the only one that played dj hero I always wanted to play guitar hero but never really asked for it when I was little never know why but this game was it fam
Ohh yea 12:02 this mix is hard as hell I remember back in 2010 first game online and someone chose this song I can feel the pain don’t hold back 💀😭😭😭😂😮💨
Having just bought one and two for the 360 with hardware, its good to see this game get more love. The first WHAT AM I DOING???? Is what inspired me to throw money at this stupid game that has become the most played game in my collection. Thank you Acai.
Fun fact, even though the PS2 ports of every GH game from World Tour onwards was straight ass, somehow the port of DJ Hero for PS2 managed to score higher on metacritic than both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Outside of the lack of 480p aupport, it was a pretty competent port tbh. Sucks the sequel naver came to PS2, but hey at least the controller was plug and play with PS3, so you could just buy DJ Hero for PS3 and keep on scratching. I miss these games.

*This game deserved more love.*
DJ Hero 1 absolutely got its flowers, DJ Hero 2 is a treasure that more people need to play
They came out too late, 2009 and 2010 at the very tail end of the Guitar Hero craze when Activision and Harmonix would both put out 10 new games every year. If they came out a few years earlier they’d get a lot more love and respect.
Imagine if it had come out on PC. It would have probably had the community longevity through customs that Fuser is seeing.
i agree, this was like the only game i had for a while
@@airzingis1169 Every rock/metal fans i've seen had an interest on playing guitar, people listening to this type of music doesn't have the same interest that's the biggest reason of it being not popular
Ok but the biggie and PATD mashup does not need to go that hard
For real. Shit be bangin'
Goes insanely stupid
Why would they even chose that Panic so-
"Pour the champagne, pour the champagne"
Oh, now I get it.
6 years ago yall. Thats wild to think about
Dude I’ve been watching him since 2016, time flies hella quick. I remember when I had like 60K subs.
Acai: The return of DJ Hero after 6 years.
Well done, Acai.
Would be great to see a clone-hero style revival of this game. Would be great to see it with some jet set radio songs.
There are 2 mello songs for this game as customs that sound really good.
Is the closest thing to jet set radio.
Glad you guys enjoyed the custom lol
Definitely check out more customs, the DJH community is full of super talented individuals!
Also that Galvanize run was insane wtf 🤯
I’m just wondering how do i import custom tracks 🤔
The DLC for DJ Hero 2 was SICK, and I am sooo thankful to the modding community for keeping an archive of all the mixes.
man i love the dj hero community so much. Still play this game almost daily. The fan made mixes are crazy, theres some really talented people over there with the abilities to make music and chart.
Just curious I found a xbox DJ-Hero controller in my basement today but I'm not sure I can use it on pc as don't have xbox
Finally, the sequel to the video that we all collectively agreed existed
I can't believe it's possible to make panic at the disco's music good
This game was always sort of a meme to me but lately I feel like I missed out on this. Looks like fun so it’s a shame it didn’t end up bigger
Recent streams have been SO FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Love that you started the video with that PATD mix, that was a cool surprise. 💜

DJ hero, gotta love it when you’re into song mixes and turntables!
Fricking the gosh darn bees
thanks for the dj hero streams lately Alec, I just bought dj hero 2 because of it
lets goooooo

You memed on these games for a while, glad to see you're actually enjoying them!
Dawg not the raphnet turntable 💀
Legit tho glad to see you're finally having an actual good time with your content, this video was super fun
old acai nostalgia
this biggie panic at the disco mix should not go this insanely hard omg
That Galvanize mix is insane how have I never seen this before
Galvanize goes so hard
So glad to see some DJ Hero 2 gameplay, I was lucky enough to be still working as a game tester when this game was in the works and ended up spending 2 months on that game, so much fun!
My man. I was just listening to the soundtrack and added my favorite to my playlists. Wish I could still play this. My turn-tables though 😭
Turntables are fairly cheap on eBay, highly recommend getting them there. Also the game runs well on PC via RPCS3 or Dolphin emulators
@@acai28 I shall do just that. Thanks bruh
I've never stopped loving this game and these streams have been awesome
Yooooo this game looks so interesting, I would absolutely watch every minute of you FC’ing this game
Going for FCs is unbelievably hard, much worse than anything I’ve ever done on Guitar Hero. May take some time but I might be able to get there 🙏🏾
Ahhhh this takes me back! I never played any of the other more traditional ‘hero/ rock band’ games as a kid, just DJ hero! I wasn’t that good at it but man did I play it a ton!
I didnt even know there was a DJH community!
Acai really brings out the best of Rhythm music. Now i gotta find a DJH turntable.
That Panic/Biggie mashup was damn near Siivagunner quality lmao
Have you heard about this double turntable mod by Seba .S? You connect two turntables to one center console, and there are keys on the top of that console you push for the actions while you scratch on the two platters. It's about as close as we'll get to a "Live" style DJ Hero controller!
I still have my original deck with box from 2009, my fav game/games to play
This needs to be introduced into clone hero somehow, I loved playing this on 360 so much
Lowkey fire
I recently picked up a Renegade table (cause it looks cool) and I'm gonna starting going at these games. They look SO COOL!
I'm not sure why, but DJ Hero was always harder than Guitar Hero.
My best guess is because what you're actually doing with the music is more abstract than "hold down the button and strum."
now all we need is for him to use DK bongos again and then the prophecy would be fulfilled
i remember hearing that galvanize beat juggle in a Rhythm Doctor custom level of all things
They lowkey should add dj hero support to clone hero. With custom songs seeming to come out for the game for a lil while now
I literally watched the old DJH video like a week ago like "Damn, bro needs to play this again"
I don't think I'll have a chance to get these peripherals where I live so this game exclusively lives and dies online to me.
That said, if there's more customs like that first one, I need to hear more if you ever make more vids on it, Alec. This is amazing.
Good to know! There’s a lot of fantastic customs out there so I’ll have to keep on showing them to y’all!!
@@acai28 Hell yeah! I only manage to watch stream highlights and stuff on UA-cam because of time zones usually but you're a fun watch no matter where I catch you, so thanks for continuing to put out great content!
THE LONG AWAITED SEQUEL
this is probably this coolest rhythm game peripheral I've ever seen
damn you hit that galvanize scratch!
*Bruh* the confusion I had on my face with the controller plus game from across another dimension. THEN you pull out the B.I.G x Panic at the disco??
The most confused ive ever been past midnight
this is what fuser tries to be
Well, well, well... How the turn tables...
Vids like this make me wish Clone Hero would get an update to add DJ Hero to it man.
- Taps would probably be little work to implement.
- Scratches would basically be strummed notes with a requirement for a direction. (Having that be available for charting Guitar would be a nice + as well)
- It'd suck but I'm fine if it didn't have rewind or the "sample" zones.
- Much like how we can split the audio track on customs from lead/vocals/drums/etc it'd probably be something like DJTrack_1/DJTrack_2/DJTrack_3
All we need then would be how to make it the controller ourselves/a way to make use of the old controllers work on pc.
Anyways Enjoying the content as always ma dood.
It’ll sadly never happen for Clone Hero but if some genius wants to make a DJ Mode for YARG, that game’s open source and ready for whatever’s possible
People always get scared that this will be applied to robots, like "oh no! we're ever closer to sentient ai robots from the movies!"
No. Unless the ai is capable of changing its own functions, there will never be sentience, just the highest form of imitation.
I play this game religiously to this day
i love this game nd still play it but have no clue how to do the custom songs. it would be awesome to learn so i could expand my songs!!
When DJ Hero 2 came out, I traded in both Mario Galaxy games to get it.
I have not once regretted that decision.
i dont think i ever watched a dj hero video before just with lack of interest since i never played it, but these mixes are actually wild whattt im gonna have to go back and watch your old ones

nah bro ur crazy on it
Long have we waited for this day
Acai, man you need to do a vid on the custom songs from the djh community theres some bangers, plus, fyi there an extended version of galvanized that someone made
100% diving into more customs next week in stream. The custom community are homies
@@acai28 Yooooooooooo, that's great, can't wait to see it.
How the fuck did that Biggie P!ATD mashup go so hard
Wait let him cook….. LET HIM COOOOOK
you havee no idea how surreal it is to hear the notorious panic first thing in the morning
The 5 year wait was definitely worth the sequel
finally you brang back this series
Legendary sequal to a iconic pice of acai history
Waiting for “WHAT AM I DOING????????” 3, where Alec plays the broken ass DJ Hero 1 Guitar charts.
We got to start using DJ Hero as a medium to react to mashup albums
A sequel to this is something we all didn't need, But heavily wanted.
I played this game alot when I was a kid and I thought I was like the only one that played dj hero I always wanted to play guitar hero but never really asked for it when I was little never know why but this game was it fam
Ohh yea 12:02 this mix is hard as hell I remember back in 2010 first game online and someone chose this song I can feel the pain don’t hold back 💀😭😭😭😂😮💨
I wonder if people charted Scratch Bastid's star wars set or Dj Spells DMC 2015 Routine. If so that would be gas

I swear to god that one section of Galvanize sounds just like YYZ intro lol

BROWN MAN PLAYS DJ HERO ONCE MORE!!
If there ever comes a Clone Hero equivalent for DJ Hero, my life will be complete

It doesn't matter much but I had the top score for Galvanized on the Wii version of the game.
Oh god he's doing it again 🗿
oh my god its finally here
