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

The NTSC-USA version of Earthworm Jim 3D reaches far higher than its PAL counterpart, with sealed copies nearing eight hundred euros. The game remains a notorious dud, yet its American run arrived at the very tail of the N64's life in tiny numbers, creating real scarcity among the last official carts. The gap between weak quality and soaring value makes it a textbook case of pure rarity.
