Summary

Earthworm Jim 2 on PlayStation feels like a time‑capsule of the mid‑90s’s experimental platforming. Screaming Pink, Inc. handled the port, keeping every original level but swapping in richer audio and a fresh set of background art that set the console version apart from its Sega Saturn sibling. The game’s variety shines through: an auto‑aiming gun, the quirky “Barn Blaster,” and power‑ups like the chip butty that pushes Jim’s suit to 200 % keep the combat feeling fresh. Snott returns as a versatile sidekick, letting you cling to walls, swing across gaps, or act as a parachute. Levels range from a blind‑cave salamander disguise to a game‑show trivia round, an inflated‑head balloon chase, and even an isometric shooter with a pocket rocket, culminating in a frantic obstacle‑course race against Psy‑Crow.

Storyline

Earthworm Jim 2 follows the titular worm as he sets out to rescue Princess What's‑Her‑Name from the nefarious Psy‑Crow. Along the way Jim encounters a series of bizarre challenges that test his platforming skills and sense of humor. The climax pits Jim in a frantic race against Psy‑Crow through a wild obstacle course. In the end Jim succeeds in saving the Princess, only for the three heroes to be unmasked as cows in disguise. The quirky twist caps off the game's off‑beat adventure.
