    Level Design: Poor at best. Graphics: I've seen better from a cell-phone. Controls: Worked better with the PSP's analog nub.

    This is my favorite game I ever played! The levels are awesome, and I love going into the spirit world and shooting souls. Multiplayer isn't too bad but I love the single player that much more. It was either Pokemon or this, I picked this!

    A cross between Super Mario Bros. and God of War. Really fun platforming especially after you get the double jump.

    DJ: Science Fair of Doom is good messy 3D. [Apr 2007, p.54]
  2. DJ is a funny guy, but his games have yet to hook me. [June 2007, p.119]
  3. Imprecise controls, shoddy level design, and bland characters spell doom for Death Jr.'s latest adventure.
