Oh, how cool this game is. I rented this game for my Sega Genesis back when I was in 6th grade. There was somethin about this game, I don't know what it was, but for some reason I couldn't stop playing it. I don't mean I just played it a lot... I mean I played it from the time I got home from school 'til the time I went to bed, forgetting to eat, and even holding it in for uncomfortable lengths of time when I needed to pee. But this game is HARD! There's some insanely difficult parts in there, but luckily, the hardest parts are also the most creative... so even though you play the same parts over and over ten or twenty times, you still enjoy yourself, what a great concept. It took me four solid days of play to eventually beat this game, I had to pay late fees, but it was worth it!! The designers of this game are twisted. They're not just twisted, they're sick. Earthworm Jim is full of the oddest, most disgusting and extremely random humor I've ever seen in a video game. While this game is mainly a side-scroller, there are soooo many offbeat and off-course little suprises, such as fighting a giant hanging booger in some sort of canyon, launching a cow... and well, I don't wanna ruin it! Earthworm Jim is one of those games that just came out of nowhere and became a hit. I can't think of a game more deserving! Everything fits together so nicely, the music, the sound effects, the WEIRD levels and equally strange enemies. The graphics and level design are superb. Each level... each part of each level looks so unique, it stays fresh from start to finish. You couldn't ask for much more! Expect to laugh out loud at least once while playing, and if you're the laughing type, I suggest you get an oxygen tank ready or something, cuz you'll be having some trouble getting that breathing in. This game gets 9 / 10 stars.
