 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 are 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.

At the end of the day, Earthworm Jim 2 is one of those love it or hate it games.  For me it's a hate.  I liked the first Earthworm Jim outing mind you.
