You might be wondering what, exactly, the point of the game is? Damn fine question. Earthworm Jim 3D plays exactly like its predecessors - only in 3D. Regardless of how we word it, though, all of the above is absolutely true. Perhaps nauseating press-release ready quotes like, 'Earthworm Jim 3D brings the classic 2D formula of the franchise screaming into the third dimension,' work better. Non-meanings such as 'tried-and-true,' and 'standard mechanics,' come to mind right off the bat, but let us dig even further. Gameplay In order to make you fully understand the gaming experience that is Earthworm Jim 3D, we're going to reach deep into our grand bag of cliche videogame review phrases for the terminology needed. By the way, we realize that we've used the words 'zany' and 'wacky' in the same paragraph and damn it, we just don't care.

That said, the wacky background story for the game is the perfect indication of things to come. The only way for the zany character to restore sanity to his own mind, it seems, is to 'seek out the golden udders of lucidity that lie deep within his cow struck cranium.' Make sense? Good. Jim awakens inside of his own mind to find, of course, that he has gone insane. This sends the superhero into a crazed coma. One day while doing whatever it is that he does, Earthworm Jim is hit by a flying cow.

Story It's fairly standard stuff, really.

Humorous 3D environments and level themes.

More than 15 hilarious weapons and item pick-ups.

Several huge worlds to explore inside Jim's mind.

The good news for Nintendo 64 platform fans is that, unlike so many oft-delayed games that teeter on the edge of becoming vaporware, Jim has arrived in relatively good form with only a few drawbacks for the nitpickers - us - to complain about.
