The game was given mixed, but generally positive reviews. Detroit Free Press criticized the game's uninteresting combat and poor camera controls.[22] While Game Informer noted that "the original Death Jr. title, despite its clever characters and cool setting, was hamstrung by iffy level design and a poor camera. This sequel addresses both of those problems magnificently, and lets the off-beat tone and refreshingly unique universe reach their full potential. Though not without its problems, Death Jr. 2 successfully delivers on the unfulfilled promise of the first game."[23]
