Scratch Video Game

So Guy, Melissa, and myself headed out to the release of Genius' "Scratch" the Video Game- 
It was my first look at the game and we ran into a bunch of the folks out there... 
 
Virman and I testing it out...
  
Gunnar Bus was retarded...top level deck with full sound...sickest tour bus on the street right now...
Uncle Nu (DJ Nu-Mark) killin the 57.... 
 
Rona, Bri, and Viv
Jae doing a shameless plug for Coke...

 
Freeeeeze!!

I know you want my honest opinion on the game...
First of all, its a game...its not going to replace the dj...and its not going to help you get better as a dj- 
Its a bit more MPC based than anything else and the wheel and and "fader" (which is more of a transform switch) are really under utilized...

I literally played the game for 3 minutes so this isnt my full review- 
I am sure in the higher levels, there are other features, but so far, the game is fun and I can see it introducing a lot of folks into the world of "djing".  
Although, it makes what we do here at Scratch DJ Academy so much more important now...to continue to teach the history, culture, and artform and what it means to be a dj- so that people dont think it started with a video game...
