DJ Hero Controller Will Not Work With Any Other Game

Activision’s upcoming Wii, PlayStation 3 and 360 music game DJ Hero features a unique control peripheral that mimics the experience of mastering the dual turntables and fader of the disc jockey, but the controller will not work with any other music game.

DJ Hero’s creative director Jamie Jackson was asked by website Destructoid whether the DJ Hero controller might work with another game, and he responded: "DJ Hero is DJ Hero. If someone needed to use our controller, then they would basically have to rip our game off."

The only other DJ game on our radar is Scratch: The Ultimate DJ, and its controller and gameplay are so different from DJ Hero’s that it makes sense. Check it out:

Unlike guitar-based music games, it’s not like you could just substitute one of these controllers for the other.
