www.nintendo.com - Game Boy Advance:
Old-school annelid antics appear awesomely animated on the Advance. Ah-ha!
Staying true to Majesco's re-release roots, Earthworm Jim is a faithful port of the zany - some would say tasteless - Super NES original.
A strong argument can be made that EWJ GBA game looks even better than the SNES original, mainly because the GBA can display 511 different colors in character mode, almost double the SNES's maximum of 256 colors. The hand-held Jimscapes take on a truly surreal, Day-Glo look.
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, slimy superhero and all around guh-roovey guy, was Shiny Entertainments' very first game. Jim has risen to superstar status as the star of several videogames, as well as his own cartoon series.
