How to Decide
DJ Hero 2 is best known for its 70+ licensed mixes and split‑screen DJ battles that let music lovers and party gamers compete head‑to‑head on the same console. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Band Hero leans on full‑band instrument support with guitar, bass, drums and vocals; DJ Hero emphasizes a wireless turntable deck that adds tactile scratching and cross‑compatible tracks for Guitar Hero controllers.
When weighing substitutes for DJ Hero 2, focus on (1) the required peripheral – DJ Hero 2 needs its proprietary turntable, Band Hero uses a range of instrument controllers and DJ Hero offers a wireless deck; (2) the size and focus of the song library – 70+ mixes in DJ Hero 2 versus 65 pop‑rock tracks in Band Hero and a smaller mixed set in DJ Hero; (3) platform and controller compatibility – DJ Hero 2 runs only on PS3/Xbox 360, Band Hero spans PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS, while DJ Hero works on the same consoles but adds Guitar Hero controller support; and (4) multiplayer mode depth – all three support split‑screen party play, but the nature of the competition (DJ battles vs. full‑band drop‑in/drop‑out) varies and can affect the party experience.
