I bought this in the Tesco fiasco hoping for the party pack, but I'm actually really pleased with just the game on its own. I think its terrific. It feels like a real sequel and they've added loads since the first game and sorted out its main problems.
First, they've stopped trying to appeal to Guitar Hero fans. Guitar support is dropped and there are hardly any rock tracks in this time. This might split opinions, but personally I think the game is much better concentrating on other genres of music.
Second, the freestyle sections are superb and give you loads of control over the mix. There are freestyle scratching, samples (which are in keeping with the songs this time and not just random out place noises) and best of all, freestyle mixing sections which really do give you full control over the mix. Creating an great sounding mix in these sections is fantastic, and the game grades you on your freestyle performance,
Third, there are non-stop mixes in this game which are the best thing ever. Imo this has the best opening of any rhythmn action game yet. Spoilered, because everyone should play it fresh:
Initial impressions are I'm blown away. Can't wait to get spinning the decks again this evening.
