Lego Guitar Hero : DJ edition

I recently had an AIM conversation with a few friends of mine. Interestingly, one considers himself a rhythm game enthusiast. And given his recent purchases, it shows. Within the past two weeks he purchased DJ Hero, and Lego Rock Band. Interestingly, he seemed show a bit of a dislike towards both. Well, to be fair he enjoyed DJ Hero, he just described the set list itself as a "chore". And his displeasure of Lego Rock Band surprised me. He can be described easily as the biggest Harmonix fan-boy, blindly buying anything they release. We sort of began to make fun of this friends purchase of DJ Hero, with my casually mentioning that Activision will release "Lego Guitar Hero : DJ Edition".

Anyway, this little anecdote led me to begin pondering the state of the rhythm game genre. It seems as if it's on its last legs in terms of quality and innovation. From this point on it seems there will be nothing more than new release after new release of the same game with a different set list. I'd be willing to bet that, with the way Activision keeps churning these things out, we really WILL see "Lego Guitar Hero : DJ Edition". Which I'm sure my friend will buy, and even if he is literally the only person to purchase, will more than justify a "Lego Guitar Hero DJ Edition 2 : World tour" the next year.
