Jake "DJ Cutmaster-XXXtreme" Gaskill recently took to the wheels of steel to give DJ Hero 2 a spin (get it? Spin?), and was very impressed with the improvements made over the first DJ Hero, including new, realistic record scratching action:

Rather than triggering prerecorded “scratches” by matching the onscreen instructions when a scratchable section is available, players can create their own custom scratches during these sections, and the effect is as satisfying as you’d expect. As well it should be since you’re directly manipulating the track, instead of just mimicking the game’s pre-rendered scratches, which you’ll still do, but not exclusively."
