Death Jr. II - Root of Evil - Review

Death Jr. II - Root of Evil
Ages: Teen

We don't do first person shooters (FPS) on this site, we don't even have a category for them, but this one is so clever and amusing that I had to get into it. The main characters are Death Jr. a scythe swinging entity and Pandora the whip wielder – pick either one to play solo or both in a duel game. Both whip and scythe have an all round useful functionality -- swinging from rafters, grabbing ledges, sliding down wires, and cutting through things, trees and enemies. Eventually you obtain weapons – guns that lob balls of ice and freeze enemies, guns that shoot shiny sparklies that explode, a hamster homing device that explodes on contact, and a flaming toilet paper launcher. The collection of enemies is weird enough to stop you in your tracks in awe – and you die. At least, I did. If you want to try out a FPS – at least this one will give you some laughs.
