Earthworm Jim HD Trailer

The trailer for Earthworm Jim HD (Xbox Live) is out today.
Overall it looks very nice and the original game is intact.
Bonus levels and characters have been included without Doug TenNapel’s approval – he has confirmed that. For anyone who is new to Earthworm Jim – he is the creator of the character and most of the core characters from the original games. I’m pretty sure that suggests he was entitled to some control over his own creation. 
I’m sure you can make your own mind up about it. This isn’t perfect – please get Doug involved 100% with anything else for crying out loud…but the Gameloft development team are good people and have tried their best under the circumstances. I am starting to wonder whether anyone is listening or cares about the original fans though. A “Lol Cat” has no place in this world or the next in any self respecting EWJ game.
Ah. I miss the original 1994 – 1996 Shiny team. They knew how to have a good time. When you see this, you are seeing their original work at its core and that’s what makes people nostalgic and happy. Not the “HD remake” thing.
If all of this “HD” stuff isn’t to your liking, the Whole Can o’ Worms PC version (Earthworm Jim 1 and 2) are available for download at Good Old Games. It also comes with lots of bonus stuff.
