Earthworm Jim

i really love earhworm jim franchise !but the port is broken and some of the soundtracks are missing and all of the sound effects from earthworm jim 2 ! earthworm jim2 only have music with no sound effect !

Glitchy and not fun 100% unplayable DONT BUY

It's fun* to read all these reviews by DOTA zombies who never tried DOS gaming. * not really

+ classic earthworm jim - DOS version which is inferior to Genesis SNES and especially SegaCD versions - barely runs out of the box (possible to run it decently with some configs from the forums)

I bought this Collection a long time ago before the though of refunds even be a thing,this trilogy is a compilation from the worst EWJ ports for PC. The first 2 games are butchered and lack the most basic levels that appear on every single version on the consols (including some of them that are on the pics show case leading to false advertisement) and uses an "outdated" DOSBOX emulation to play . And the third game is just the cherry on the bitter cake since it universally sucked on both platforms that released. If you want a modern port to EWJ look for EWJ HD on 360 or PS3 or just look for that Special Edition released on Windows 95/Sega CD that is better than this "thing",

A no-effort money grab. This is a hackneyed dosbox setup (even after applying the fan patch) of the DOS port complete with bugs and absent audio. Controller input is only possible through joy2key or similar. With this, you're effectively paying for an experience that's completely inferior to and vastly more inconvenient than that attainable with an emulator. To top it all off, this is absurdly overpriced even on sale. Absolutely shameless. Avoid this travesty of a cash-in attempt like the plague.

[h1]Earthworm Jim but anytime you release the jump button he drops faster than Gordon Freeman at sv_gravity 1000.[/h1] Cmon, everyone fooled around with sv_gravity command in Half-Life 2, I can't be the only one, can I? Obviously it's a hyperbole but boy, it's like they lost the code for original game controls and had to recreate a much worse version of it. You will be suffering in daily activities such as failing to whip fast enough after a small jump or just getting annoyed at your Jim's unwormly stiffness. I actually wanted to put some time into this Jim and analyse it for myself, wanting to see if Jim has aged well as a game. I mean, I doubt, maybe it wasn't much a good game to begin with in our post-scarity world. But as soon as I came across the situation where I was not able to grab on the ledge in order to grab 1 Life-Up in underground section in the middle of the first level, it became clear as a day to me: [b]This version is illegal. It doesn't count.[/b] But if you still want some details outside of playability like some kind of earthworms nerd, have at you! This is a DOS version of a game. You can install the fan patch which fixes up sounds. It's missing some sounds, like Plasma gun shot. Compared to SNES and Genesis it looks the best, making usage of richer color palette and having few small details, albeit missing the SNES special effects like lens flare. Well, backgrounds are based on Genesis version. It has same levels amount as SNES, so it doesn't have that boring looking level from Genesis. Well, actually, the second mecha chicken boss fight is missing as well. Sega CD (or maybe Win95) are still definite versions. Never tried HD version, so maybe it's the best one. DOS uses passwords to track your progress. Music is CD quality. This game is actually legal. But not in my book. PS: Actually went and beat the game. Mmmmm, yea. Turns out that you have easier time grabbing some ledges in this version when Jim is doing the standing jump animation instead of a running jump. I don't really like the game itself. Half of it is based on toughnut gimmicks. Like, Jim, get some normal action platforming, stop making me rage in underwater moondlanding section. And most of the game challenge depends on memorization, because camera sure often isn't there to show what is coming. Jim still controls too sluggish here as well so that ruins the mood. Otherwise eh, actually playable but get better versions.

Twenty Dollars? I don't remember paying that for this. I paid $2.99 for all three games. Would definitely recommend. . . on a different port. The xbox 360 had a good port, and the DSi had a good port. However here the controls are a bit wonky, and the gameplay is kind of poor. Honestly, I got it at a good price, don't get 90's tech for any more than what it's worth today. Which isn't much if anything at all.

Unplayable. I only paid a couple of dollars for this in the most recent Autumn 2020 sale, and want my money back. An extremely bad port of a game/world I adored on the SNES when I was 10 (maybe the aesthetic was funnier then, but it isn't very entertaining now that I'm 35). Don't waste your money on this. If you want to play this game, buy an SNES and a original cartridge instead. - Resolution is locked to 640x480 and does not scale. On a 32" 1440p display, the game window was around 4 inches (10.1cm) tall by 4 inches (10.1cm) wide. I may be missing something simple, but I couldn't stand the idea of wasting any more time trying to change it. - Xbox One controller support is minimal and extremely bad. For me, the game only registered inputs from the left thumbstick and the 4 ABXY buttons, but nothing else. No Dpad, bumpers, or triggers at all. It did not register consistent diagonal directional inputs from the left thumbstick, which made movement nearly impossible to manage. - Keyboard play isn't worth the time it would take to make the controls even remotely comfortable. Leave your memories of this one in the past. Save your money, or spend it on a much more recent and far superior pixelly platformer instead. There are plenty of them out there.

It's the worst version of Earthworm jim. Find the Genesis rom and play that one, this is just pathetic, bugs, broken gameplay mechanics and bad physics make this the worst version of EWJ. This is funny considering there was a windows version, but that would've taken 5 more minutes to port, so they didn't go with that version.
