Earthworm Jim: Special Edition is an action game that was first released on the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo in 1994.
+ Exclusive Big Bruty stage is a worthy addition, as it throws in some mild puzzle elements to break up the action.
+ Combat features some awesome weaponry, and learning how to use each one effectively while conserving ammo is fun.
+ Enhanced sprite animation and clearer audio clips are fantastic, and the password system is a welcome inclusion.
- Relies heavily on trial-and-error and infrequent, yet obtuse game design which can artificially inflate overall play time.
- Later stages put too much onus on screwing the player with instant death traps and unwaveringly difficult bosses.
- Music is mostly ill-fitting and the tunes generally don't mirror or compliment the stage setting that they're wrapped around.
