Wild Woody
If THQ created Earthworm JimGenre: action - platform
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1995
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Plays like Earthworm Jim, if it was created by THQ. Truly awful, jerky controls. Terrible hot detection. Etc. etc.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Nothing terribly wrong with the level design, but far from good. Stages drag on far too long and have so many dead ends and useless branches that you'd think they were procedurally generated.
Theme Score: 0
Theme Notes:
Everything that's wrong with mid 90s sensibilities wrapped up in a neat little package. You are a pencil. Yes. A pencil. Once that has been animated by a mystic totem found by a modern Indiana Jones guy shown off screen. Woody is loud, edgy, talkative, and obnoxious. The opening cinematic is as cringey as they come.
Art Style Score: 1
Art Style Notes:
Backgrounds have some nice parallax but otherwise this is a late gen title drawn like an early gen rough draft. Hideous character design round out an ugly package.
Audio Score: 0
Audio Notes:
Easily one of the worst video game soundtracks of all time. The edgy 90s theme rears it's ugly head once again, with music that sounds more like a car crash than a man-made creative endeavor.
Overall Score: 22
