All That Scratchin’ Is Making Us Itch: Ultimate DJ Preview Trailer

By Phillip Mlynar

Taking music rhythm games in a new direction, Scratch: The Ultimate DJ promises to let you live out those spinning and scratching fantasies to the full when it drops later this year on PS3 and Xbox360.

With input from the Beastie Boys’ DJ, Mixmaster Mike, the game’s turntable-shaped controller will soon have you pulling off ‘one click flares’ and the unfortunately-named ‘crab grab’ with ease. A bonus feature also lets you use a USB mic to record your own samples, while the 60 songs you get to play around with include classics from Kanye West and Run-DMC.

Check out more details – and a man with an impossibly large afro – here.
