''When you hear the words "third-party Wii game", you probably think immediately of trash like Nitrobike, Emergency Mayhem, and Obscure: The Aftermath. With more and more publishers shoveling out underwhelming games to try and cash in on the Wii's popularity, decent games for the system that don't feature Mario or Link are becoming a rarity. However, Death Jr.: Root of Evil is refreshing change of pace for the Wii: a fun game with an artistic style that's aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, its flaws are sometimes hard to overlook when they get in the way of the gameplay.
Death Jr. features the teenage son of the Grim Reaper, a middle-school student dealing with many of the same problems we all did at that age: girls, schoolwork, and parents. Of course, he's not exactly like us, since he's the skeletal son of Death himself and all of his friends are deformed freaks. The premise is interesting, although I'm not really sure why Eidos decided to port the second of the PSP Death Jr. games and not the first. I would have liked to hear a little more about DJ's origins, but despite this fact, the storyline isn't terribly hard to get into or follow.''
