The first Earthworm Jim was loved by many mainly
due to it’s fresh approach to the world of platform games however the
2nd game is just a pile of steaming horse cack if you ask me and it
seems that I’m not the only one who thinks so.
You see, the main problem with this game is the level layouts. They are
just simply thrown together without any real thought. Many a time you
will have no idea where you are going or what platform you can or can’t
stand on. The “jokes” are dull, animation is poor when you consider it’s
meant to be fantastic fluid animation or so they told us when the game
was released. The collision detection could do with some work as well.
Oh, the aiming seems to have a mind of it’s own at times. You could be
pointing your weapon directly at an enemy with nothing at all happening
yet at other times it will kill them. Add the f*ing annoying one liners
that Jim says all the bloody time (Why did American programmers deem
that necessary in the 90’s?) and you have one game that will drive most
people around the bend So, at the end of the day, Earthworm Jim 2 is one
of those love it or hate it games. |
