I bought it and wasted my money. I love the gameplay. I like the graphics. Do any of you play these games in spurts of 15-30 minutes? I do. I don't want to play the same 15 minutes of a game over and over again. A battery save feature is essential in this type of game. Even a password feature would have helped. I can't play games for 10 hours in one sitting. I don't want to even if I could.

this is not the same earthworm jim

i love earthworm jim, but this game is a very poor port of the genisis/SNES original. VERY poor control and poor frame rate make this game very disappointing to any one who enjoyed genisis/snes version. if you've never played those, then you may enjoy this piece of poop, other wise stay away from this game.

DO NOT LISTIN TO THOSE RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The origanal earthworm jim is possibly the best game ever freak'in made.
But this port SUCKS!
Every one who gave THIS version of the game a score higher then a 2 is:
1.mental
2.saten
3.Georg Bush
4.some one who worked on the game
5.some desprite fan who would give a shovel of crap with EWJ on it
a perfect score.

Honestly, what the @$#*!

Graphics 1/5
First off, the sprites have less then 1/2 the frames of the origenal.
Seciond of all there is almoast no fx.
In level 2 (at the end when fighting a boss) you have to jump out of the
way of fire to make it hit and destroy the platform the boss is standing on in order to kill it. But in this version the retards at "Game titan"(I never herd of them eiver) did not even bother to animate the platform falling, it sits there in thin air, and the boss just flys across the screen!

Sound 2/5
Thay took out half the sound fx to add a "snot a problem" voice efect at the start of the 4th level.
Thay dident even get the music placement right!
(youed think thay would actilly play the game there porting)

There is soooo mutch more wrong with this game, but now my fingers hurt!

On one positive side the tube levels are a lot better!

In closing, if want to play EWJ on the GBA, you should consider buying one
of those carts that you can put games from other systems on (or even computer programs!)

BOARING.

This is probably the worst 2D sidescrolling game ever. the graphics stink and the game play is SOOO boaring. it is one of those games you get because your a fan of the series, play it once and never play it again. how do I know this? I played the demo at toys R us....

could have the potential to be a good game, but isnt!

The sad thing is that this is one of the more cooler games, but the people who produced it didnt bother to test it or whatever happened so the game actually bites. We purchased ours last night and it is the first game I bought for the GBA. I was very disappointed because of two things: visibility of game screen and lack of save. The visibility is horrible. You have to be in just the right light to be able to see and then usually by that time you are either at a weird angle or fighting a glare off the screen. The screen and graphics are so dark that it is very hard to see them. I tried playing for about a half hour or so and had a head ache from straining. The game save is an obvious one, it is a very large game and unless you sit for long periods of time to play you will never beat it. The first levels get tiresome playing over and over again.

I love the earthworm Jim series, but honestly wish I didnt have this stupid game, total waste of time.

waste of time

Entertaining, but colors too dark, and no saving

Earthworm Jim features some highly entertaining and freakish sprite animations, with weird activities like launching a cow into space, snot monsters, slugs, hyperactive poodles with fangs, and other fun oddities. The level designs are complex and challenging.

However, the very dark colors do not work well on the non-backlit GameBoy Advance screen. I have a number of other Game Boy Advance titles including Chu Chu Rocket and Rayman Advance. Earthworm Jim's levels and backgrounds, by comparison, are extremely dark, with very low contrast, frequently using browns, grays, dark shades of red, and black. This might work on a CRT screen but does not work well on the reflective LCD screen. Even in bright light, it is very hard to distinguish objects and see attackers coming to get you.

Rayman Advance is more attractive and it is much easier to see the action. Earthworm Jim's animation seems jerky by comparison. And Rayman Advance allows you to save your progress. (Yes, I'm aware there is a cheat to allow you to select a starting level; this is not a good workaround, in my opinion).

I recommend you buy Rayman Advance and avoid Earthworm Jim. Developers should be encouraged to optimize their titles better for usability on each platform.

Great Game Gone To Waste!!

This is a very good game exept for two Huge Problems!!! This game doesn't have a save feature, so the first levels get very BOORRING!!! So unless you cheat you wont get to the end. The graphics are horrible! You need to be in perfect lighting to see some of the stuff in this game. Other than that i think you should get this game. (yeah right)

When I borrowed this game, I didn't understand it at all. I suggest you spend your money on Rayman Advanced or F-Zero Maximum Velocity.

Not Worth It

This game might be fun if you could save. Not being able to save in a game is a quite an annoyance, the first couple levels get boring. Also, this game doesn't have a real good fun aspect. The only reason I'm awarding it with two stars is because of the nice graphics and sound.
