    So, will I play Earthworm Jim more than a couple of times? Absolutely! The humor and sound effects alone keep me smirking and coming back for more.

    Earthworm Jim HD is the very definition of a remastered classic.

    Earthworm Jim HD is a brilliant example of how games should be remade and remixed on XBLA.

    If you've never played Earthworm Jim, definitely open your mind and have a sense of humor and try this title out as it contains some of the better gaming memories (and I loved the cartoon!) I have from the 90's. If you're an old Earthworm Jim vet like myself, pick it up again if only to appreciate for it's much sharper visuals and enjoy the nostalgia; hopefully you'll find enough new features and levels to make some new memories with Jim as well.

    Earthworm Jim HD is a great update, one that other developers who are considering tackling an update should all take notice of. If you played the original and enjoyed it in any capacity, this is not a game that you should pass up.

    It's a great HD version of a classic game, and I look forward to running through it again when the PSN version launches.

    Earthworm Jim HD is certainly short, but its amazing. This remake of the great Shiny Game shows that with great visuals and co-op add-ons these old classic gems really can stand the test of time.

    It's telling that Earthworm Jim HD is most fun when it's playing with ideas that go beyond its core gameplay mechanics. But it's also telling that this wide range of inventive ideas manage to elevate the game far above its obvious flaws.

    Earthworm Jim HD brings back one of the most fondly remembered platformers made in a far superior form.

    Gameloft shows us why this kind of classic games never dies. Extremely funny, with a perfect design and nice additions like the multiplayer support, this is a must have if you like the classic action platform games.

    Not the great many of us remember it as, but still looks fantastic and more so in high definition.

    The personality and surreal art style of Earthworm Jim HD win out over the fidgety controls, but they aren't capable of moving the title into the stratosphere of a must-buy.

    the 90's was a weird time, that's for sure. Probably due to the likes of Ren and Stimpy or Beavis and Butt-head. But the weirdest of 'em allthe 90's was a weird time, that's for sure. Probably due to the likes of Ren and Stimpy or Beavis and Butt-head. But the weirdest of 'em all was definitely Earthworm jim. Does this HD remake update the original for newer generations? in a word, f*ck yes. The graphics have been built from the ground up and might even rival the upcoming Sonic Mania in terms of looks. The music has been redone as well, and feels right at home on the old 360. As for new features, it has Xbox live trophies, two of which are PAINFULLY hard to obtain, and online multiplayer not unlike New Super Mario Bros. Wii's chaotic excuse for multiplayer. This remake is a solid update which those that played the original might wanna check out. But Completionists beware, two of the Xbox trophies are obscenely hard to get.… Full Review »
