DJ Hero 2 adds freestyle scratching and crossfading, as well as scored vocal gameplay.

New Features

 

Empire Mode 

This year's editions features a new single player career-based Empire Mode. Here players begin as an up-and-coming DJ who travels the road. If players are successful enough, they can eventually become the head of their own entertainment empire.  
 

Freestyle

 DJ Hero 2 introduces freestyle scratching and crossfading.  During these sections of the mixes the player will play through, he or she will be able to crossfade between the two tracks and/or scratch as they please.
 

Contextual Samples

Rather than simply having canned samples appropriate for all tracks, DJ Hero 2 will also have samples available to the player that have been extracted from the songs being mashed up. For example, in the "Regulate"/"Hot in Herre" mix, a sample of Warren G's voice is available.
 

Microphone Compatibility / Expanded Multiplayer 

DJ Hero 2 allows for vocalists to enter the fray more than ever. While the original game featured microphone support, players were only able to freestyle/talk/yell over the music. This year's rendition introduces on-screen vocals, allowing for players to sing and rap along to the lyrics.
 
Improved Microphone Support is just one of the ways multiplayer as been expanded In DJ Hero 2. DJ Battles return, but have unique mixes specially tuned for battle gameplay. Here, players perform alternating song sections, with the winner being the higher scorer of the two. Accumulator has players racing to fill an on screen bar by getting high note streaks. Party Play (as introduced in Guitar Hero 5) also makes a comeback, allowing players to build a custom setlist and both DJs and Vocalists to jump in or out of  song at anytime.
 

Soundtrack

DJ Hero 2's soundtrack is once again supporting mashups of "the hottest tracks" from "the biggest artists". This year's setlist sees over 70 new mashups that include over 85 artists.
