Death Jr. Wii Style!

Ever since I saw that there had been a a game made, starring the son of the Grim Reaper, I've been glued to the off beat series of Death Jr. Sadly, when it first came out, it existed solely on the PSP, a system which I had no intention of owning beforehand and I really didn't want to get it for only one game!

So for years I waited, knowing only that Death Jr. existed and I wanted to play it... And when Root of Evil came out, I longed even more to experience them... Until it eventually breached off into the Nintendo realm, with Science Fair of Doom for the Nintendo DS.

Finally experiencing the game, I fell in love. It was all the dark comedy I had expected and the game play was very entertaining... My only caveat was that a hand held system really couldn't contain the series to the best of it's capability, which I had always kind of assumed, since I saw it on the PSP, but sadly, I thought it would never reach main console... Until now!

Death Jr. Root of Evil, the second in the series, which I hope will go on much further has been re-released and revamped on the Wii. Finally, the only problem of the small screen was eliminated, not to mention with a lot of bonus material.

So, it is now that I rate the game. I'd say a solid 9, in my opinion.

As far as story, game play, graphics and humor. All great and a wonderful gaming experience. The greatest thing is that the game has a two-player option, which only makes the game that much more entertaining. You have the ability to select any previous level played and you're able to change the difficulty setting at any time, just in case you went in way over your head in the difficulty(much like I did!)

I guess difficulty is a small problem in this, but when considering it's intended to be two-player mostly, it's understandable, and there is a way to change the difficulty, so it's not a real problem. My main problem is that half way through th the game your melee skills become virtually useless, which sucks because as Death Jr. I prefer to use a trademark scythe to kill the forces of evil! Don't get me wrong, all the insane weapons you acquire are awesome and fun to use, but I did get a little sick of using them, that and all the special melee skills are far too difficult to actually use... But, I digress

As a whole it's a great game and I hope they stay, not only with Nintendo, but keep making major console games! I look forward to when Death Jr. can become playable in the next Smash Bros.!

Thanks for the fav!

Yeah, I'm the same way! Looking like them is one thing, but truly being them makes it. Which is why I got so ticked at my friend doing Sanji because he LOOKED just like Sanji, and after all the hours we spent and clips I hunted down for him to get in character, he was dull as dirt at the con, bleh... Just to ask(dunno if I asked at the con) but did you see Sogeking last year? If so, that was me, hehehe.

Well, I'd love to join the crew, but I don't know how often I could be around ^^; But, should we ever know each other are going to be at a con, we should plan it, hehe. I tend to be Usopp.

It makes me sad when people cosplay characters and then don't even bother to try to act in character while being dressed up. That is 95% of the fun to me and thats why I like meeting people cosplaying from the same show so that you can play off each other!

I love group cosplays myself and One Piece is awesome because it is the first show that I have cosplayed that I am actually getting a lot of people to join me. I am building my crew so to speak *laughs* We are taking CRAZY amounts of pictures at Animenext in June. I can't wait!

Indeed! There was another Brook there. His outfit wasn't as spot on as mine... Which normally I wouldn't hold against someone, but he wasn't in character at all, not even a single "Yohohohoho!" what a shame, hehe.

In any case; I'd love to be part of more group cosplays, they're fun if you get people all in character. I thought of a cool picture to take for a full Mugiwara cosplay. Get everyone to wear Straw Hats, not necessarily like Luffy's, just as long as they straw and take a big group shot, and have someone flying the flag in the back.

Good luck with your Blackbeard Pirates cosplay!

I am currently working on ending 14 Luffy and my next big group project is making the Mugiwaras movie 10 mafia outfits.

I was really happy to see someone already cosplaying Brooke! Always good to meet other One Piece fans!

Oh cool! Wow, I've been crossing paths with everyone from that con! Hehe, good to talk to you again and thanks ^^ Yours was good too, I was so happy to see people doing Thriller Bark outfits. My friend was doing Sanji from Thriller Bark, dunno if you saw him (I have his pic on here, but it's in another arc outfit) Anyways, my next project is the Blackbeard Pirates! ...If I can find a Burgess and Teach.

Turtles are cute XD my favorite though was always charmeleon. For some reason I always liked how he treated Ash in the series, I thought is was really funny. Dragonite is a fav. of mine as well though he's so fat and cute X3

Awww, hehe. I'm a big Pokemon fan, Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise have always been some of my favorites(Squirtle the most) mainly because I adore turtles.

Ive never cosplayed before but I really want to. I even bought the material and I was like "yea I'm going to get started on it right when I get home"......the material is still sitting in the same bag I got it in lol. I want to try to make a wartortle costume cuz I think that would be uber cute.

I always cosplay, hehe. Just trying to make up my mind right now. I hate reusing cosplays, but I may have to, given the time frame I have.
