GameSpy writes: "Our initial preview of Death Jr.: Root of Evil was extremely positive, and after sinking an hour or two into the first six episodes, little of that original assessment has changed. The Wii controls are still nice and tight, providing an experience that is free to focus on the kooky comedy and surprisingly detailed and varied environments. While the platforming and melee combat components are the meat and potatoes of DJ, the shooting and weapon upgrade mechanics seem to be the delicious and savory garlic, adding just the right amount of spice o keep things palatable."
Spiffy:
-Excellent aiming and shooting mechanics
-Atmospheric and generally gorgeous graphics
Iffy:
-Not exactly what you'd call high-brow humor
-Easiest difficulty won't challenge a toddler
