Overall, Death Jr.: Root of Evil is another solid platform entry in this largely successful franchise. Although this title is technically a PSP port, it has a look and feel all its own. The graphics look great in 480p, and the gameplay benefits immensely from the Wii-specific controls. If you've already played the PSP version, the Wii version may still be worth checking out, just because the controls make for a whole new Death Jr. experience. Overall, this is a great port and a must-buy for fans of the series. It is also a great choice for platforming fans who may not be familiar with the series. Either way, you're bound to have some serious fun with Death Jr.!

Rating out of 5
Rating Description

4.0

Graphics
Character animations are remarkably smooth and cutscenes look great, but repetitive environmental texturing hinders this title from looking amazing.

4.5

Control
Standard controls work great, and Wii-specific motion controls feel great.

3.9

Music / Sound FX / Voice Acting
Voice acting is excellent. Level music is pretty good, but somewhat repetitive.

3.0

Play Value
While the ability to play co-op is a great feature, it doesn't do much to extend the gameplay past 10-15 hours.

4.1
