Failed attempt to bring the legendary earthworm into 3D. Confused level design, finicky camera, sloppy controls, the original humour heavily watered down. A sad end for a brilliant 2D franchise. Skip it.

Collector interest

Earthworm Jim 3D in its multilingual PAL form carries a poor reputation, its clumsy jump from 2D to 3D having buried the franchise. Pricing reflects no in-game merit but a thin late-1999 European print run as the N64 wound down. Sealed copies hold most of the value while loose carts stay modest, the classic profile of a late misfire that turned scarce by accident rather than design.
