App Review

EarthWorm Jim

This app is great, its a remake of the playstation 1 classic from many years ago, its retro gaming at its best.

Whats Jims Story?

Jim was an ordinary earthworm who did very normal earthworm things. One day, during a battle in outer space, a suit dropped to earth and landed on Jim, mutating him into a large and intelligent ( for an earthworm anyhow ) super hero. When Jim learned of the evil plans of Psy-Crow, and Queen Slug For A Butt, he decided to rescue Princess Whats Her Name.

This is a 2D side scrolling platform/action game. Graphics are pleasing and very much like the original playstation title. Controls can be tricky until you get used to them, which takes a level or two to achieve.

To move Jim around his environments there is a joypad in the bottom left corner of the screen. There are also 3 main buttons for his actions positioned on the right hand side ;

a) Jump - Jump up and down onto different platforms

b) Fire - Fires your currently equiped weapon at your enemies

c) Swing - Swing from hooks and ledges

Run, jump, shoot, launch cows, bungie, and rocket your way through up to 16 levels which increase in difficulty.

There are 12 types of enemies and 9 different bosses.

Choose between 4 different difficulty settings.

Play original classic tunes or your own ipod playlist during game play.

Overall, looks and plays great but can be quite challenging which should add to the games lifespan. A must have for any retro gamers among you, 9/10.
