Earthworm Jim is an action game that was also released in 8-bit form on the Sega Game Gear in 1995.
+ Pressing or holding the attack button to whip or fire isn't perfect, but it works okay given the lack of SMS face buttons.
- Missing several stages and bosses from the comparable 8-bit handheld version, making for a very incomplete port.
- Entire game feels like it's performing at a snails pace, and trying to accurately line up projectiles is a case of luck over skill.
- Andy Asteroids races scroll very slowly, yet bizarrely run fast and smooth once you manage to obtain a boost item.
- Even simple tasks like grabbing a ledge, or whipping a hook can be infuriatingly tough due to the sloppy collision detection.
- The drastically cut-down animation and lack of voice clips mean that a lot of Jim's charm and personality is lost.
