Players who believe that variety is the spice of good games will be in nirvana here: one minute our hero is bungee jumping by a thread of mucus, the next he's riding a space-rocket through an asteroid belt. The game leans heavily on cockeyed humor, so steer clear if you've had it up to here with jokes about intestines, corporate lawyers and power-mad goldfish. Jim's arsenal is a bit on the skimpy side, although in the annals of video games the sight of an oversized annelid cracking his own head like a bullwhip is surely unique. The play control could use more polish, especially since most of the action involves running and jumping. On the whole, though, EWJ's legions of fans are far more interested in 'tude than gameplay mechanics.

Earthworm Jim isn't much, but with a newly discovered cybersuit, he's the world's lowliest superhero! In this platform-style adventure game, based on the Sega Genesis and Super NES installments of the series, EJ makes his way through all sorts of bizarre environments--places like New Junk City, Intestinal Distress, and Snot a Problem--to save a princess. Along the way, he'll add several weapons to his cybersuit and use them against level bosses along the likes of Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-Filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt, and Professor Monkey-for-a-Head.
