    - which in general are picked up by scoring really high. :) -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 18:08
I'm more suspicious of whether it will be close enough to the feeling of scratching to be fun. The buttons on the record worry me. -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 17:53 6

  - s....ort of. there's no way they can replicate keeping the needle on the record groove, and memorizing the start point for the break. - TFox Sep 24, 17:57 4
    - it develops rhythm, sure, but it seems to me the mechanics are backwards for actual guitar playing. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 17:59 3
      - oh, with all the hammers? true. both games are sort of full of shit. - TFox Sep 24, 18:01 2
        
        with the DJ thing, I'm thinking more in the sense of being able to figure out if you can create a competant mix. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 18:09 1
        
        yeah, that's the part i'm not fully following, I guess. does the game actually allow you that much flexibility? -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 18:13
