Earthworm Jim HD Playthrough
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING FROM INTERPLAY
Earthworm Jim HD is a high definition remake of the original Earthworm Jim video game. While the original was released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis and then ported to many other platforms, the remake was released digitally through XBLA on Xbox 360 on June 9, 2010, through the PSN on the PlayStation 3 on August 3, 2010, and for Windows Phone 7 alongside its launch in October and November of 2010. While critics had mixed feelings with regard to how well the game had aged, they generally praised the new content, mainly the cooperative multiplayer mode.
The game was removed from the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and Windows Phone stores in February 2018
Gameloft signed an agreement in 2009 with Interplay Entertainment to have the rights to develop, publish, and distribute games related to the Earthworm Jim series. This agreement lead to a port of the game, without new content, for the Nintendo Wii's WiiWare, and the high definition remake for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game does not use the original game's code, but rather, the remake was entirely recreated.None of the game's new content was approved by Doug TenNapel, original Earthworm Jim creator, nor was any of the original game's staff involved.In addition to the game's updated high definition graphics, the game's soundtrack was remastered and Jim's voice acting was re-recorded. As such, TenNapel no longer voices Jim as he did in the original. A short, comic book-style introduction was added to the game's introduction as well, which originally hailed from the game's strategy guide.
While levels are faithfully recreated in the remake, it does not feature the original's secret level "Who Turned Out the Light", or "Big Bruty" level that was only present in the special edition version of the game. It does feature three new levels and other extra content, such as a boss fight against Pitch the Cat, a reference to "Keyboard Cat". Achievements were also added to the game.New difficulty settings, both easier and harder than the original, were also included.
