i know that this game is bad compared to the previous ones, but how does it compare to other n64 games of the time? is it worth playing?

Pretty much my feelings. I played all the EWJ games when they were new and the first one is still the only one that's good.

Its not a bad game, but has picked up a bad reputation. I enjoyed it myself. Keep in mind it runs closer to the EWJ cartoon than it does the side scrollers. The level design is pretty creative, and it has a lot of variety. Most people probably never played it past the first level. The boss battles are hard and lots of people are mad at that.

Also worth noting that the PC version is broken and was never patched.

Had a fun time as a kid even though it filtered me. The janky pig surfing for every boss fight gets very old.

>decide to replay EWJ1 and 2
>the first game is fucking great, just hard enough that you need to game over once or twice until you learn the in and outs of each level, only the snot bungee jump levels are really bad and the two extra levels in the Sega CD version are kinda shitty but they have some extra lives so it evens out (not that it matters since you can farm them in For Pete's Sake)
>play EWJ2
>the first level is the only one that gets anywhere close to the quantity of hidden items of the first game and even then it's extremely linear
>goddamn Puppy Love is a third degree burn tier blemish on this game, not even the dynamite balloon one is this annoying and time wasting

>ISO9001 is mediocre but thank God for finally having a traditional level

If by variety you mean abhorrent minigames padding the shitty watered down levels together then I can see where you're coming from.

I've read a review of this game in a magazine at the time, it was first gaming mag I bought. It described environments in one level as 'neon vomit'. Final score was 2/6.
