Overall factor: 5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics for this game are bad, even for it's time. It's a
shooter type of game and the graphics are just plain bad. EWJ looks
blocky, as does everything else, and the mesh of dark and cartoony
graphics don't fit it at all. Even things that are supposed to look funny don't.
Sound: The sound is blah, though fitting for the game. The sound affects
are funny or cheesy depending on how you look at it and the catch phrases
are right from the show. The music could be better since it gets annoying
real fast, but it doesn't hinder the gameplay that much.
Gameplay: A 3rd person shooter where you play as a worm in a suit. You must
complete different tasks to beat a level, and at the end of a stage you must
go against a boss on a racer type thing where you dodge obstacles and try to
destroy the boss. Bosses are what make this game so hard. You'll end up
getting killed over and over until you finally get lucky and move on to the
next level; only to have to do it again. EWJ can shoot, jump, and whip his
head at people.
Hardness factor: Hard, mainly because of the bosses. Other than that, it's
only hard later in the game.
Overall: 5 out of 10, hard game, cheesy graphics, but it can be pretty fun at
times. A pretty normal game, though they could have made it much, much better.
