If you really like Beatmania, mashups, or turntablism in general it's a great pickup. It's about 2-8x harder than Frequency or Amplitude comparing expert to expert, but that's a first impression.
There's very little Guitar Hero in the game (yay!) except for the mandatory trek through career mode to unlock things (boo!) --- 10 songs have guitar tracks that you can have a guitarist play along with.
Ergonomics on the controller leave a little to be desired. The crossfader has to be moved to various positions almost instantly --- you have to do punch fades manually as well --- there are no slow fades.
Scratching feels a little janky. The platter is nicely sized but you have to hold down one of the three buttons --- scratching with the inner button is a royal pain.
Overall pleased to own it but it's by no means a good party game or a keeper.
