Re: Review: Earthworm Jim 2 (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)

I remember beating this game as a kid. Yes, it was pretty damned hard, but honestly, if I can do it as a kid, adults can do it today. Few games have the personality this one does, and the challenge does not detract from the enjoyment of that.

Plus, I'm concerned that you graded the game down because it didn't meet the expectations you held from the first game: namely the platforming-oriented game play. That it strays from this formula shouldn't deduct points from it, as it is not the first game, and it should be graded, to a large degree, independently of it.

The "gimmicks" were done well. Just because they aren't of the platformer format, doesn't mean they sucked.
