Earthwork Jim is one of my favorite games from the past and most rememerable when it comes to characters, on the Sega Genesis, and the Super Nes games video game era. This game has stuck with me through the years due to the amazing colored levels, the funny dialogue, and the amazing character designs. In this version of Earthwork Jim, they brought him back in HD and completely revamped for the new age of gamers in Earthworm Jim HD. This version of the game adds in a difficulty setting along with multiplayer, co-op o yea baby!
The same campaign is still here along with the same rooster of enemies like crows, angry dogs, pumped hamsters, and the bosses like psy-crowe and the evil queen pulsating ETC. You pick up different power-ups for your zapper like plasma, or you can still whip the baddies with your wormy body thanks to your space suit. As you work your way through the levels you get to do rocket races here and there in a 3D warp thing. In this place you can earn extra points by picking up orbs and also earn extra lives, which you will probably need.
The default difficulty of the game is a tad bit easier then the original, thank god if you want to play like the original all you have to do is change the level setting. Besides the story mode, you can play 4-player co-op levels, which can be played online, or locally on your 360. These stages are made from parts of the main game but add cool co-op elements like door switches and levers that people have to work together to operate. All players are on the same screen but the camera angles are awesome and the camera zooms way out. In the beginning the levels are well designed and the puzzles are fun.
At times you do get kinda lost on what to do in the beginning, but the bonus that you can acquire are amazing. As you progress through the levels, something happens. The levels don't look as good as they did in the beginning and the puzzles, well they don't even exist anymore. They are very easily beat.
All in all the remake is awesome, and there is a lot of extras for hardcore fans of the series. The game and the DLC is well worth the $10.
