Worth the Wait

Although I usually am let down with the initial quality of PSP titles, Death Jr was worth the wait. The controls are simple, and while there isn't technically a story line, who cares? It's a video game, not an episode of Entourage.

Levels are clear and the saving features let you answer the phone or shoot an email and then quickly resume playing.

And has anyone mentioned the awesome transtion between levels/sections? At first you think you're on a trip - the pixels blur and warp, showing the potential of the PSP's hardware ( I read somewhere that games are running at about 2/3 of the potential). It's a cool lil feature/detail.

So yeah - add Death Jr to your list of PSP titles - when the Starwars Battlefron Game comes out, your library will finally be complete (along with the fun and ever growing levels of Wipeout Pure)

For kids or not?

Sony must have thought people wouild buy any original platformer property to arrive on the completely non-original gaming console of the PSP. They were right. I bought it for that reason. This game is aweful. Terrible camera, Dumb premise, non-fun action, monotonous gameplay. Memo to Sony: Quit rushing games out the door. Take your time and put out at least an average game.

Bottom Line: Is it fun? If you like hacking and slashing in the most monotonous way possible. Will you keep it? Ebayed already. Is it for kids? Nope. Too hard of controls and tons of gore.

Death is great!

This game is good.In some parts its foggy and difficult.The monsters always revive again,you collect soul points for each kill.The camera is a bit crazy sometimes.Theres no story-line.This all seems very bad for the game but I find it enjoyble.The game is challenging and has 19(kinda short).But I tell you you'll keep on playing until you complete the game.And in each soul puzzle piece of your friends you collect,a new weapon appears.Its very cool.So,if you like killing,mix hack slash with third person shooting and challenging games this is one you'll like.

It's a little too hard and what's worse is that you can't save your progress during levels. You get 4 continues and you need to pass the whole level from start to finish with those 4 or it's game over and you start the level from the begining. Of course this gets frustrating. The biggest fault in the gameplay is the camera. Sometimes you need to be messing with the camera to get the right angle so you can jump onto a platform without falling into lava, but it's impossible to get a good camera view. Using your Grim Reaper knife to jump from hook to hook is also a nightmare.

The best way I found to attack most levels was to move foward slowly and shoot at enemies from a far. Overall it's not a bad game and some could actually find it more challanging than frustrating. Nothing like the thrill of old days when you came down to your final life and you had to come through or all your work was for nothing. I recommend you try it but it could of been better.

Death Jr. just an O.K. game

Death Jr. wasn't as fun as i thought it would be. The levels are hard and the graphics are bad. However the story line is funny and interesting. This game would not be good for kids under 10 or 11 because it has a lot of gore and it has a little bit of language. Death Jr. is an ok game if you r looking for a bad challenge. But if your looking for a fun and exiting game try somthing else.
