Faltam dois dias para o lançamento de DJ Hero

Por Carla Rodrigues

Faltam dois dias para o lançamento de DJ Hero, como o ano passou rápido, não? Parecia ontem que eu estava escrevendo o post com os scans da revista que revelaram a turntable e tentando entender como diabos funcionava isso. E agora que eu já sei, já entendi, já estou extremamente no hype (junto com a Bruna), mal posso esperar para jogar. Eis com vocês, a abertura fantástica de DJ Hero:

Pretty cool, huh? Então só pra recapitular: DJ Hero é o novo jogo da Activision que foi desenvolvido pela FreeStyleGames. O mais novo game da franquia Guitar Hero vem com uma premissa completamente diferente. Dessa vez o controle é uma picape de DJ. O disco gira 360º e possui três botões. A faixa da direita corresponde a uma música e a da esquerda outra. Você alterna entre uma música e outra através do crossfader, uma pequena alavanca que você precisa posicionar na faixa certa quando aparecer na tela.

Duas músicas de uma vez? Ow yeah! Essa é um dos grandes pontos positivos (senão o principal) do jogo. Todas as 93 músicas são faixas originais que você nunca escutou antes, feitas especialmente para o DJ Hero. Elas são compostas de duas músicas de artistas diferentes, então você terá uma sensação de familiaridade, porém ao contrário dos outros jogos musicais onde você sabe exatamente qual é a música que está tocando (porque já escutou antes), todas as canções são inéditas.

Grandes nomes da música eletrônica colaboraram com a produção do jogo. Entre eles estão DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip, DJ Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff e a dupla mundialmente famosa: Daft Punk. Para promover o jogo, a Activision fez comerciais de televisão mostrando uma faixa do Daft Punk:

A edição normal, que contém o jogo e uma turntable, custa U$119,00 e a edição Renegade de luxo, que traz algumas coisinhas a mais, incluindo uma mala de ferro que vira uma mesa para você apoiar a sua picape, custa nada mais, nada menos que U$200,00.

Então se você ainda não tem certeza se DJ Hero é o seu tipo de jogo, ou se vc vai gostar das músicas, confira o setlist quase completo com os vídeos das canções:
