Ratings and Reviews
Great developer A++ would download again.
I'm glad to see this game still receives updates. One thing I would like to see for Lion is more full screen support. This way i don't have to quit the game to view something on a different desktop (iTunes, Chrome etc..)
This game is almost perfect. It has that great classic worms fun with a few tweaks to make the items more balanced. Great having high quality worms upgraded from N64 graphics. It would be great is LAN support for multiple computers as crowding around a laptop is not quite ideal for more than 2 people. Also it really bothers me that you're stuck in full screen mode while the game is launched. That means if I want to get into iTunes or Chrome I have to quit my current game. Thats a big no no
Annoying at first, but worth working on
Initially this game is a nuisance, or at least it was for me: I never played the earlier WORMS games. The controls are initially awkward, the computer plays decently even on "beginninger" setting (and finding that setting takes some exploration through the menus). The tutorials are not great. However, if you take an hour or two to fiddle with the tutorials and then play some "multiplayer" games alone (playing both teams), you can get the hang of it. The campaign mode is not bad, and single player is fine, but at first both of these can be frustrating since the computer will kill your worms while you're still trying to find out what button does what. The whole thing is, incidentally, very cute and violent, has lots of funny options, and is lots of fun. This is a great game that's resting on its laurels a bit, I suppose: but keep at it for a couple of hours to get the feel of it (in multiplayer!), and the fun opens up.
Pretty good
I've been a Worms fan since Worms 2 for PC, and this game is almost comparable (though nothing will match Armageddon it seems). While I like a lot of the new features like persistent fire, Buffalo of Lies instead of Mad Cows, and the laser sighted shotgun, there are a few things it's missing that I think would make it better when compared to the other computer titles (some of these would be nice for the DS, and iOS versions too)
1. The older games had 8 worm teams, this game, and the portable versions, only allow 4. I undestand this limitation for portables, but on a computer you should get the full 8 worm team.
2. I miss my weapon shortcuts. in previous games you could select weapons by pressing, for example, f1 to get the bazooka family (bazooka, grenade, cluster bomb, etc.) f2 for the shotgun family and so on. Please bring this back, it would make the games where you have short time limits a lot more manageable.
3. The jetpack's fuel does not last long enough. Even in the portable versions it lasts almost twice as long. Currently it is almost useless, please fix this guys, seriously.
Great game in light of those things. I've long awaited a Worms game for Mac, and while this isn't perfect, it's certainly worth the $10 price tag
