GameSpy: Death Jr.: Root of Evil Review

GameSpy writes: "Our last couple of previews for Death Jr.: Root of Evil have been decidedly positive, so it was delightful to see the finished product incorporate all of our favorite things from the preview version, particularly the tight Wii controls. Backbone Entertainment has done a fantastic job of creating responsive Wii Remote and Nunchuck controls that don't rely too heavily on motion-sensing, but also provide accurate shooting mechanics. Throw in the kooky plot and characters, and you've got a classic formula for a nice mix of platforming and shooting action... and even split-screen co-op to get other members of your family on the Wii."

Pros:
-Perfectly executed control scheme
-Beautiful high-res textures
-Surprisingly funny story

Cons:
-Childish themes and puerile humor could be a turn-off
-Considerably more difficult than it looks (Death Jr. 2: Root of Evil, Wii) 4.5/5
