Earthworm Jim/CD Edition (MCD)
Graphics-8.5 Sound-7.5/8.5 Control-7.5 Challenge-8.5/7.5
Level Design-7.5/8 Frustration-9/8 Fun-7.5 Originality-7
Overall Score-7/7.5
+ Good variety, innovate gameplay, humorous, one extra level compared to SNES, less slowdown and more sprites on screen, smoother scrolling, 1/2 more levels than on SNES, more sound effects, faster animation leads to more intuitive control, password save in CD version
- Some very tedious levels (For Pete’s Sake, Down the Tubes), mini-game gets a bit repetitive, could’ve had better backgrounds, no password save, sometimes hard to tell what you can stand on, slow knockback, somewhat sloppy hit detection, somewhat loose scrolling (see Aladdin), can’t shoot while moving
