I remember as a kid I couldn't handle plot twists well. So that silly joke of an ending gave me an actual existential crisis and made me really upset for several days. That's pretty hilarious.

the soundtrack is amazing

I just love how creative this game is, not only visually, but the gameplay in each level is different, with a very creative mechanic for each one (radically changing the way you play), so effective and so entertaining.

Oh....the bullets are houses because they're Home-ing Missles. :

... I miss you Earthworm Jim, one of the best heroes ever!

WHY AFTER 20 YEARS AM I JUST NOW DISCOVERING THIS WAS ALSO FOR THE PLAYSTATION?!

That Jim statue in Udderly abducted is actually an awesome touch

Wow, the music is insane. I'm used to the 16-32bit version on Sega but this is HD quality! WAY COOL!

man what a kick ass sound track

Wow! This is a blast from the past. I had Earthworm Jim 2 on PC, and the second level in this video was totally absent from it. No idea it even existed!

I'm still amazed by the creativity of this game. :D

My goodness, i had so much fun playing this game back in 1996 on the playstation. Brings back so many good memories from my childhood. Proud to say i still own it in my ps1 collection 23 years later. All i can say is-- TENDER

Way cool! In all seriousness I loved this game as a child. I can remember all of this like it was yesterday. Thanks for this video and great playing!

Girls: Boys don’t know what pain is. Boys: *PUPPY LOVE INTENSIFIES*

Ending makes total sense btw.

And so, having defeated the nefarious psy-crow, our hero, Earthworm Jim, wins back the heart of the lovely Princess What’s Her Name. And so, having defeated the nefarious psy-crow, our hero, Earthworm Jim, wins back the heart of the lovely COW And so, having defeated the nefarious COW, our hero, Earthworm Jim, wins back the heart of the lovely COW And so, having defeated the nefarious COW, our hero, COW, wins back the heart of the lovely COW What a great ending.

31:34 This level exists! For years I thought I just had a very vivid dream about a level like this, but now I remember when I saw it

This video reminded me my childhood.. It was one of my favorite games. Thank you very much for that video!!

I had this game on my megadrive when I was a kid, far too young to realise how good but bat shit crazy at the same time it is.

13:41 Puppy Love reminds me of Nintendo's Game & Watch "Fire" released around 1981 because the game play is similar.

This game was so far ahead of it's time. I remember when this use to frustrate the Hell out of me, couldn't quite beat the Game. These days I drill darksouls for fun. Truly a Gaming Icon. #EarthWormJimPS4Remaster

That Salamander level ... I remember being "What on God's green earth is going on?"

Did anyone notice Psycrow in the background of Inflated Head? Look at the moon.

18:55 That is one of the creepiest stages I've ever seen in video game history. And, that creepy piano music goes with it.

man i use to hate this level as a kid at 32:23

27:19 Anything But Tangerines fact: this soundtrack was used in "Iba-Balita", a news program of now-defunct Studio 23 (sister channel of ABS-CBN).

Best animation! Best graphics! Best gags! Best gameplay diversity! Best music! Best hardware optimization! Best game ever! I only dream those people made a game on modern hardware with the same passion!

BEST ENDING EVER...

Definitely do not miss the puppy love levels lol.

Holy shit you're good at this game...

Bravo! Excellent walkthrough!

I loved this game I wish I could play it again

Wow, you've certainly got some impressive chops with this game! Your showing for the last 'Puppy Love' was especially spectacular. It's my opinion (after playing this game), that it's impossble not to drop 1 or 2 of those puppies. You make playing it look so easy! Why does 'Porterhouse Cow' look like 'Joe Camel' smoking a cigarette? I think that the EWJ games where among the Best side-scrollers of all time. Great music/SE, funny characters, zaney story-lines, and graphics made them classics.

I find it funny that Peter tears you a new one if you drop too many puppies, but has no problem taking a bomb out and throwing it at Psycrow, who is holding his pups hostage.

I loved the quiz part even though I didn't knew a word in english.

*T E N D E R*

I wish they kept the Lorenzen's Soil music for ISO 9000

I learned so much about worms from this game.

I liked the first better, but this one had a great sound track. Excellent and classic games. I wish they would just make a modern 2D version of the game as they did for Rayman.

Never played this one yet. The levels and music are really creative! I'm starting to get hungry looking at those burgers on that grill! Poor cows! 😅😁

Wow so many changes on the background and specially the music, I love every version of this game! XD

I always felt this game, much like it's predecessor, had some odd pacing issues. It spends so much time focusing on ways to "spice up" the regular gameplay, that there isn't much "regular" gameplay left to be spiced up. So when it does have the regular gameplay, it has to cram in so many different things at once, that you can barely take it all in. Take Level 1 for example. Throughout this fairly short stage, you get a TON of different weapons, all in really quick succession. The weird thing is though, there are so few actual enemies around, that you can't make any good use of your gigantic arsenal. There are a few flying squids, but those aren't really good for experimenting. They fly around erratically, are often obscured by the edge of the screen, and they die so quickly that it's hard to see any difference between all your weapons. Then, in Level 2, you don't even HAVE any of those weapons, instead carrying that plasma drill the entire time. In level 3, since you have the salamander gimmick, there's once again no way to make use of those weapons. Level 4, the flying stage, another gimmick level. Level 5 finally has some regular gameplay again, but you still spend more time carrying cows than fighting anything. There are a couple of enemies, sure, but they seem more like a minor annoyance than a threat, so there's no real difference between shooting them with your standard gun and shooting them with a huge plasma shot. Level 6 has you floating the entire time, so there's not even any notable combat. Level 7's enemies are so weak that there's not even a difference between shooting them and whipping them. Level Ate finally offers a consistent threat that's worth fending off with all you got. And while the straw enemies once again go down in one hit, at least there are plenty of them. For Flamin' Yawn, I don't know if it matters how much damage you do, but it looks like he will always retreat as soon as you damage him. So all in all, it seems like they just developed a whole bunch of weapons, but didn't give much thought into how or when they should be used. Feels like they just went "I wanna be able to use a ton of cool weapons!" and so they programmed them in. All of them. And then had to find some way to include them all.

This is not a game. This is a mother-loving endurance test.

Ok, pause at 42:03 and then look to the left

Moonlight Sonata in that Villi People stage... Epic.

Huh, didn't know the Gen version did some things better, as did the Saturn. Gen had more of a 3D effect to the BG in puppy love and even the houses that Psycrow and Peter were in. Saturn had some better BG effects in stage one. Not to say the PS version is a slouch it obviously has advantages to the ol' Genny cart, better music and some extra animations and cow pics....what? Cow pics are a selling point!

The sequel is much easier than the first part, but more fun and varied. Thank you for the video.

So many memories. But hahaha awwww the cows are so cute when they go in to the cannon and their ears flop around and they stick out their tongue. Awwww haha. = )

27:07 HAHA,I love metalanguage

after two decades i'm just NOW getting that those are supposed to be HOME-ing missiles lmfao

Why is the soundtrack so epic!

One word for this version: *GROOVY!*

Crazy game , thx for people who made it . Good job . !

Omg, those quiz questions were so funny I couldn't stop laughing! XD

I have fnished the game now and WOW what a sequel very good PS1 game and rare and was very great levels;) thnxs

the music on lorenzo's soil ... jheeez

Haa buenos recuerdos Me sorprendes eres realmente bueno incluso en los capítulos de pupi love eres magnífico genial grandioso

omg i used to play this game whe i was a child! good memories!

That soundtrack...amazing...

so much remember with that game...

That music just kicks you in the teeth right away.

EWJ2 is much wackier and funnier than the the original EWJ, and I love how they bring back some of the good ol'characters from the first game

Clap-clap-clap-clap, amazing mate, amazing!

Você é o Cara! You Are THE ONE!

New Earthworm Jim confirmed

42:02 Look his statue, lol

Too bad this particular version was only released in Europe. The Sega Saturn version, was released in North America but not the PlayStaion version.

Best version of this game

I find it more beautiful, easier and funnier than the first one. I have it on PC, I don't know which is the best version.

The 90's - Earthworm Jim, X-Files, Nirvana, Mr. Show...those were the good old days.

The music is sublime

🎶Earthworm Jim, a hero for all time🎶 Love this game. So wacky and fun to play. Dudes on a stair lift FFS 🤣

12:20 R&Z actually got hit by something for the first time. :o

The 1st level's music reminds me of Depeche Modes's beats

Charming expressive visuals masking a whole lotta tedium

When is Jim's birthday? The day he was born. XD

great game, played this a lot

omg almost 30 years later and i just realized why the home-ing missles look like houses.....

I had this game for years, I never got passed that hot air balloon pretty sure. Looking at this now, whoever made it was on ALL the drugs.

Holy cow. This game got me in the mooooooo-d for some "Flamin Yawn" and a side of milk. Plenty of pun-ishment to go around for everyone. #groan #moonlightsonata

Man you're professional :)

i never knew it was on ps1 i loved the megadrive version but the music in the ps1 version is awesome

Level Ate is my most favorite level of this whole game.

Es el juego que tenía en el sega mega drive pero muy mejorado, se ve magnifico!

Out of all the Earth worms. Never heard of this

jeez, you beat that first level just as the music ended.

The pizza boss is noticeable easier than in the megadrive version

MASTERPIECE

The music in this game is fucking amazing!!!

This is a very hard game and you beasted it

Tommy Tallarico was given more freedom to work on the playstation version due to the memory. That guitar solo in Lorezen's Soil was crazy.

Now I really didn't know that the Playstation was out there!

beautiful game

I'd never seen the stage 2, is that something different playstation version from window version?

The most thing funny is the jumping closet in iso 9000 stage 🤣😅😂🤣👊

Fantastic Game!! hours, and Hours spent to play with it

PERFECT!

Love that puppies saving level.. would anyone know what kind of genre that type of gameplay would be listed under? I've played a couple of games like that.. one in LBP2 and a couple of cheap gameboy multi-games.. and I want to find more

Did the playstation version have the tommy tallarico versions on the soundtrack or was that little nugget of ur own doing. Sounds tight.

The music is what I'm searching for!
