GutterTrash's review of Death Jr.

Abandoned

DJ's a cutie pie. I like him a lot. His friends are cool too, the Hot Topic poseur goth aesthetic goes pretty hard in the two cutscenes in the game. Game's an alright platformer with very bad combat mechanics! Gunplay sucks. Gunplay just straight blows ass. Rancid. Camera too. Why they made the PSP without a second stick is the greatest mystery in video game history

I think I heard somewhere that Death Jr started out as an OG Xbox game but then later down the pipeline was scrapped in favor of launching on PSP so the game would get more buzz as a pseudo mascot for the handheld.
I think there's old E3 demo disk of the Xbox version of it out there but don't quote me on it.

@STRM This is true, yes. They scrapped the Xbox version of this game so they could push it as the first PSP game for some reason. Presumably thats why the camera and gunplay suck so much ass, they were designed for a controller with two sticks
