Death Jr. - August 16th - Pre-order for Awesome Goodies!

I checked out the website a bunch (www.deathjr.com) and read the reviews but I don't think they did it justice. I really like the game, it kinda feels like a Tim Burton 3D platformer. (Think Nightmare Before Christmas meets Super Mario 64.) It has some nifty features, like using your scythe to hook on to things to climb or swing, but it's pretty much an action platformer. This game feels like it's designed for the PSP, so the controls are easy to get the hang of, and control doesn't feel adapted from some other platform. I'm still trying to get the hang of the different weapons, and which enemies to use them against. I still get killed when there are a lot of enemies, mostly because I forget about the Pandora assist (charge up that kills all enemies on-screen.) The style of the game is funny, or at least a little twisted. There were some laugh-out-loud moments (like Stigmartha trying to cover her eyes when she was attacked by the demon.) And I still love the C4 hamsters.
 
I said to hell with it, went out and rented the damn game. I like the art style and the general direction of the game, but camera issues are deep and there is some balancing issues. I'd say worth a rent, but I'm not to sure how long it could last you. At 2:02 played, I have 29% of the game completed and was stuck on the mission "My House" for 20 minutes.
 
I don't think I even have played 2:02 yet, only been playing on the bus in fits and starts. As long as a portable game works well for that kind of thing and entertains me , I'm satisfied. And... C4 hamsters.
