Earthworm Jim: Special Edition has the same type of whip-cracking, gun-shooting, cow-launching action of the original game. It is special, though, as it sports a number of fresh features, including a homing missile weapon, several new levels, better graphics, opening screens for levels, new-and-improved sounds (hampered slightly by the occasional glitch), and a much-needed password for saving your progress. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
