With the huge successes that Guitar Hero has bought Activision have announced the new DJ Hero which is set to be released in October of this year. The question is will it be a fat boy hit or will it fall into the ever growing forest of games that we certainly wouldn’t mind giving up for lumber jacking.

With major artists like Black Eyed Peas and Eric Prydz being put on the game it is hard to see it won’t at least attract the crowd who are into that type of music. Fans of the current Hero series are very unlikely to buy this as the music in the game is the complete opposite. Not only this a poll done on a popular gaming website has shown that the majority of people do not actually want or even care about this game and to be honest it is completely understandable as playing in a rock band is a much higher dream than being a DJ.

The rea big problem that Activision faces is the gamers themselves. They have actually done very well for themselves over the pst few years with huge titles like Assassins Creed and Call of Duty under thier belt it would be a great shame to see thier hard work go to waste on something like this if of course it doesnt do well. It is a face that there are far less DJ's out there than instrument players so less people are bound to buy the game.

Although it does actually sound like a good idea when put on paper, is it realy going to work in the same way that Guitar Hero did. Perhaps game developers should start making games for gamers again and not for the people that haven’t touched a game in their lives, a lot of people would rather buy the proper DJ equipment and DJ software than buy this game but until release date of October it is hard to say for sure how well this game will sell.

Of course if you are already a DJ headphones are very important and it is always good to have a pair that protects your ears when performing.
