I had the (mis?)fortune of playing this game on holiday in America before it's UK release - so what's it all about?Death Jr. is the son of the Grim Reaper - Death himself. He goes to an awkward school of "special" kids like him. You'll have the pleasure of meeting all sorts of creatures that you'll find wandering around the school: there is, among others, Pandora - his ghostly girlfriend, the conjoined twins Smith and Wesson, and the international student who lives in an icky, juicy, glass container. This time around DJ and his friends participate in the Science Fair with original and grotesque projects that will later be rated by the teachers.The twins present a bizarre-looking rabbit with stitched demon parts that will give nothing but trouble. (That's the first boss battle you'll be facing)Sounds good so far doesn't it? Sadly, as appealing as Death Jr. and the other characters may be, Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom is just a mere, unsuccessful attempt to transport the theme to the DS. It wasn't a top of the line game for the PSP, and making a DS version turned out to be a downgrade, in spite of the higher expectations I had and the promising use of the stylus which, by the way, can be replaced with the awesome scythe stylus that comes with the game (at least in the USA anyway)Even though there are some funny moments and comments, you won't really find this game that humorous. It could have used a bit more of that to make the game more engaging and alluring. The bland story doesn't do much for the game, and the poor quality controls basically destroyed it. I can't believe a game that I was so ready to like, ended up disappointing me in so many different ways. I can't put my finger on what fails here; maybe it needed a better story or nicer graphics, maybe more accurate and likable controls, or maybe it just needed a bigger screen, avoiding portable gameplay. I think, most likely, it just needed all of it. You really have to like Death Jr. to be able to enjoy this game; otherwise you will just put it, as I did, in the "mediocre" pile. Who would have thought that purging a demonic school of evil by taking control of Death's son would be so bland, tedious, and frustrating?
