Death Jr / Game

Product Information

You can play as either Death Jr. or Pandora, whose move sets are almost identical. Cooperative play is also available through a split-screen mode, but you'll need a separate save file to play with a buddy. The multiplayer mode is really no different than playing by yourself because the story and gameplay are identical. The only advantage of playing with a friend is having an ally to help mow down the hordes of enemies that the game throws at you. Fishman, Brian (2008-06-13). "Death Jr.: Root of Evil Review".

Meaningful Name: Pandora Boxley is named after the legend of Pandora's Box. Stigmartha is a pun of "stigmata." Smith and Weston are named after a firearms manufacturer, as they're inventors who handle DJ's weapon upgrades. And while the story isn't anything special, the storytelling makes up a bit for the predictable and familiar feel of Death Jr. to any other "beat the boss, save the world" action/platformer. In-level story sequences are housed with VO – some of it charming and witty, others annoyingly spat - and you'll occasionally get CG sequences that show off a bit more beauty in the game. The general look of levels still remain pretty low poly though, and follow the same design often used on PSP: Drop the poly count, but put heavy attention on the texture work. It's not uncommon to find a perfectly cornered set of steps with a dirt-based texture – rather than being uneven in actual terrain morphing, it's just painted perfect angles – but it's never really a bother either. In the end the graphical offering is better than what you'll see on PSP, but there's no doubt that Death Jr. is still just an average graphical offering; there's just too much of the core PSP geometry still used in the Wii version.

There's no equivalent feature on Wii, which uses + and - for the camera.

Aiming in Death Jr. is now a breeze using the Wii Remote's pointer function: simply line-up your target and fire. The camera control benefits as a byproduct to the pointer control as well: moving the reticule off towards the left, right, up and down while using the range combat targeting will slide the camera around in that direction. Players can also re-center the camera behind the player at any time by tapping the C button on the remote, and they can also manually rotate the camera left or right by hitting the minus and plus buttons on the Wii Remote.

Pandora: A Death Jr. Manga— Predictably, this is A Day in the Limelight for Pandora, in which she must save Death Jr. from an evil Clingy Jealous Girl. These strings are leftovers from the ad-hoc wifi mode included in the PSP game; the Wii version has split-screen multiplayer instead. There are a massive number of related strings, e.g. for hosting and joining games, which aren't listed here. Take on the role of the Grim Reaper's teenage son Death Jr. after he unleashes an unspeakable horror from a box that Pandora herself couldn't open in a school field trip at the museum.

If you're not up on your Death Jr. history, listen up: DJ (as he's affectionately known around the playground) is the son of the Grim Reaper. He's now in school and has formed a clique with other gothic peers: you've got obsessive-compulsive Pandora and conjoined twins Smith and Wesson. Then you've got Stigmartha, a girl with a tendency to bleed from the palms. And let's not forget The Seep, an armless, legless, kid floating in a jar, as well as The Dead Guppy who is, well, a dead guppy. Linn, Demian (2006-11-07). "Death Jr. 2 Root of Evil". 1UP.com.

The title begins with Death Jr. and partner Pandora doing a project for their middle-school biology class. Their task was to find a cocoon specimen, but instead of finding a moth or a butterfly, they find evil! What unfolds is an entertaining tale that utilizes plenty of the series’ trademark humor. Even though the protagonists are both in middle-school, the situations are such that kids and adults will both be entertained by the story. There are several pop culture references, and the astute gamer will notice several references to sci-fi staples like Star Wars and Dune. Several sections are leftover from pre-release demonstration versions of the game, perhaps intended for one or more trade shows.Umfangreiches Upgrade System - Verbessere Waffen wie TP-Werfer und C4-Hamster mit coolen Upgrades und schwinge die Wii-Fernbedienung für Nahkampf Combos.

Death Jr. has always been just shy of reaching his potential. As one of the first games to debut for the PSP system, Death Jr.'s endearing character design and art style looked promising. Unfortunately, frustrating controls and a pesky camera system made the pint-sized son of the Grim Reaper fall short of expectations. The game's sequel improved on some of its predecessor's shortcomings by offering better camera control and weapon combat. Death Jr.: Root of Evil for the Wii is a port of the PSP sequel, and it, too, improves the formula. The new game suffers from a few poor design choices but it's still an able, entertaining platformer. Campbell, Craig (2006-12-02). "GAME REVIEW: 'Death Jr. II: Root of Evil' ". Detroit Free Press.
