      ​​@@TrueClueTommy Tallarico, the music composer for this game, made a lot of false claims about projects that he was involved in or influenced.
      The "mother is very proud" became a meme of one of these claims because he supposedly stole credit for work that wasn't his.

      The OST is just royalty free music. Used, presumably, because they needed a fast sequel after the success of the first game. Minimal effort, both, in terms of gameplay and production. And it shows.

    @PTRF_One 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    If the devs had any self-control, these would still be considered good games from back in the day. Just way too difficult for the worst reasons. And if there isn't already a hack to eliminate all the Andy Asteroids (from EWJ) and the Puppy Love segments from this game, someone should do that.

    • @madams2239
      @madams2239 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That's because the Mario Party formula didn' exist.
      MP2 and onward had streamlined the games, and the genre, whereas EWJ has minigames that go on *forever* while having little narrative features to play off of.
      There wasn't a half life to compare to, and EWJ was feeding off the comic books and TV show that span off. The 90's were weird, everyone had ideas and nobody knew if they worked so they tried.

    Ewj 1 and 2 are so interesting and weird and cool but also 2 spends half the game making you do miserable shit and 1 isnt much better about that. Also two of the least likable people on earth have their names attatched to both games. Much to think about for a game where you play as a worm.

I think hes only in the credits for 2 but even that is kinda suspect any more, as it seems he may have straight up lifted some of his classical arrangements from elsewhere. Either way he's buddies with Doug and loves having his name attatched to the series.

    Man like the game looks amazing, this is something you'd see only on PC. But holy fuck the gameplay can be terrible and just not fun. They went full retard with earthworm jim 2 too, it looks great you can tell this was created by animators and not gamedevs. Plus the game was so god damn rushed, this could have been in the top 5 games in the generation if they spent more on gameplay&ideas. Also the music is just god damn terrible they put all the data towards impressive SFX instead.
    Sick TAS tho thats for sure.
