This is by far the best music game out! The main idfference with this one as opposed to the guitae games is that in this one you you make the music with custom mixes rather than just playing along with the song. Don't wast your money on the Renegade Special Edition with the case/stand and Jay and Em bonus disk (just "borrow" it off the net). The regular edition turntable looks better IMO, can be played on your lap with a TV tray or stand and isnt that big.

Almighty Approved 9/10

Saw this little kid... couldn't be more than 8 yrs old tearing it up at Bestbuy. He made it look fun as hell.

It is! It's got a higher difficulty and learning curve than the rock games.

It looks quite complicted if you ask me, but i'd like to tear it up sometime, see what i could to.
