Earthworm Jim 2

Platform:snes,megadrive,dos.
Developer:Shiny entertainment 
Year:1995





So Earthworm Jim's girlfriend was kidnapped by that damned phys-crow,and it is up to you to find her and win her back. The sequel to Earthworm Jim has a more diverse gameplay,from your normal platforming,to being a blind salamander and trying to guide a hot air balloon bomb to a tower of snot. The game comes with a slew of new weapons and power ups,from a cheese sandwich which gives you maximum health,to a barn gun which annihilates everything on the screen,which is mocking that saying "you can't hit the broad side of a barn. 


A few old characters are back like Major mucus and princess-whats-her name. You have a new "side kick" called snot,he acts as a parachute and a grapple hook that attaches it self to snot and flings Earthworm Jim.


All and all this game was a great addition to the Earthworm Jim franchise.
The music was great and the gameplay varied. It still has a great sense of humour and don't worry cows are involved. And the controls are very responsive.
