THE GOOD: Well... it's funny. Gotta love the Elvis appearance. The humor is so corny it's actually pretty good.
THE BAD: Gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. The game itself is pretty hard. Not because of actual in-game challenge, but because of the crappy handling of your character. The boss battles are absolutely terrible. You ride a pig. I have yet to get past Fatty Roswell, only the second boss of the game. Not because it's hard, because the pig's handling is worse than that of a Model T driven by a blind geezer.
SUMMARY: It is everything you'd expect it to be. Cheesy, corny, and somewhat fun, if you can get past the handling troubles. Like I already mentioned, Elvis appears, along with a few other famous figures. If you're looking for gameplay, go somewhere else. If you're a long time fan of Earthworm Jim... try it out, see how you like it!
THE GOOD: The good thing about this game would probably and only be the graphics. And the controlling of the character.
THE BAD: The game lacks a good storyline cheezy game play and cheezy music is enough to make you go crazy!
SUMMARY: This game is about the worst earth worm jim title i ever played it may have better graphics than the first two games for sega and super nintendo but Earth worm jim 3D just sux it has problems with the camera angles, and the game play is about the worst. Id have a better time watching paint dry on a wall!!! SERIOUSLY This is not a game i recommend you buying you will be very disappointed with it. Rockstar could of done better in creating this game Earth worm jim 3D cannot compare with the previous 2 games they maybe be on a 16 bit system but the games are more entertaining than part 3 for the n64.
If you can handle the outdated trappings in this most obvious example of a cartridge-based game, and if you were a fan of Earthworm Jim when the folks over at Shiny first unleashed him on the world, then you might enjoy this game. It is, after all, a solid game, with excellent control and adequate graphics. The main thing to consider is that damn camera. A little more tweaking to this bothersome element would have made all the difference in the world. Rent before you buy.
