Believe it or not, traditional platformers are kind of a rarity on the Xbox 360. Majority of what's available in the genre is either puzzle oriented or an artistic experience concerned with delivering some sort of evocative impact… but not Juju. While Juju blatantly borrows from the best in the biz, it's impressive how high the quality is in this indie adventure. By no means is it perfect or revolutionary, but what's here is highly enjoyable, easily recommendable, and darn good-looking. Because the entire game can be played in two-player co-op, and because there are difficulty options welcoming of all skill levels, Juju is a great purchase for kids and families that like to play together. It's one of the season's biggest downloadable surprises.
"Juju is a delightful platformer game, offering both single-player and local multi-player experiences. As Juju the panda and his companion Peyo, players embark on a journey to save Juju's father and the world, collecting mystic keys, magic ambers, and battling humongous bosses. The Deluxe Edition includes a digital artbook and original soundtrack."
