The execution and presentation of EWJ and EWJ2 is brilliant. Such an interesting & surreal art style and weird ideas. Reminds me of Courage The Cowardly Dog, although EWJ came out first.

[@ZigealFaust]

I never thought about it but Jim could 100% exist in Nowhere and it would not seem out of place. Hell, Peter Puppy in the show is basicaly Courage with the ability to speak normal and hulk out when you think about it.

good game, but prequel was better. earthworm jim 2 is like a mini game collection rather than a action game. and those god damned puppy love levels..

[@sunshineandlolipops]

I agree that Earthworm Jim 1 was better, though some of the humour in Earthworm Jim 2 (like the "Villi People"/blind cave salamander level and the ending itself, were phenomenal). I personally enjoed the "Puppy Love: levels as a mechanic/ comedic story, but I agree with you thar there were far too many of them. On a side note, sorry for nitpicking but the first game is technically not a prequel. Yes it's story takes place before Earthworm 2, but for a work to be considered a prequel it must be a literary, dramatic, or filmic work whose story precedes that of a work made previously (like the infamous Star Wars prequels as example, their story takes place before the original trilogy, but the key point is that they came out after the original trilogy), since the Earthworm Jim (1994) game the was very first entry made in its franchise it can't be qualified as a prequel. Basically Earthworm Jim 2 is Earthworm Jim (1994)'s sequel, but that doesn't make Earthworm Jim (1994) Earthworm Jim 2's prequel, that's not how the word works.

[@phj9894]

sunshineandlolipops i always thought prequel means something released first.

[@sunshineandlolipops]

hijong park No no, it means something released later, but whose story takes place earlier than in a previusly released work within that ficional universe. Thus the Star Wars prequels, or Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom being a prequel to Raiders of the Last Ark, even though Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom came out 3 years later. That's the dictionary definition. You can look it up on Wikipedia to confirm. I'm not making this up.
