A new batch of images and videos on DJ Hero has surfaced online. As suspected the gameplay of DJ Hero looks very similar to Guitar Hero, the main difference being that there are only three buttons instead of five, to compensate this there are two "equalizers" on the side of the turntable.

Check out the images and video to see the game that will most likely be one of the hottest selling music game in stores.
