Basically this is a bare effort Worms game that has enough of the core gameplay to make it worthwhile, but there was a lot of room for improvement. </p> <p>Taking out the napalm after blowing up barrels is disappointing, as is taking out many of the voices, but really the lack of the wide range of unique weapons hurts this a lot. No baseball bat, no Holy Hand Grenade, Super Sheep, homing pigeon, parachute, worm select, or mini gun. Also the gameplay from what I gathered wasn't all that customizable (is unlimited ropes changeable?), and I couldn't change the time limit per turn.   </p> <p>But still, it captures the essence of Worms games of old, and for that, it's still a lot of fun. It also looks great in HD, although the worms and barrels are a little small. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=200498" width="1" height="1">re: Arcade: Wormshttp://majornelson.com/archive/2007/03/07/arcade-worms.aspx#200490Thu, 08 Mar 2007 14:28:08 GMT055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:200490Jayme<p>I would perfer the 3d mini golf over anything else right now.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=200490" width="1" height="1">re: Arcade: Wormshttp://majornelson.com/archive/2007/03/07/arcade-worms.aspx#200461Thu, 08 Mar 2007 13:01:02 GMT055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:200461Velete<p>Been enjoying this a lot, dissapointed theirs so much missing but according to team17 they dont want to scare the n00bs away with loads of weapons:/ Im just spoiled by playing nearly all the worms games up to this one i guess (granted theirs been some dodgy ones)</p> <p>Guess this is a great intro to worms for those who havent played it before, ive not actually ran into anyone online yet who had played it before now:P</p> <p>If you check out the Team17 forum you can see the admins are already talking about a patch soon to fix the netplay issues, their also dropping some cryptic hints about additonal speechpacks/weapons coming at somepoint later ( not free though :P )</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=200461" width="1" height="1">
