THE GOOD: The wonderful Worms formula works in 3DTHE BAD: Except now it's hard as heck to aim some weapons SUMMARY: Worms don't kill worms. Worms with guns do. And these li'l buggers go out of their way to exercise their right to bear arms (despite not having actual arms) in this 3D update to the much-loved strategy series. Here, you control squads of cute-but-deadly worms who take turns blasting each other to hell with arsenals the Pentagon and Wile E. Coyote would love to have. But it's the intentionally fallible controls that turn this game from fun to hilarious. For example, before you toss that cluster bomb, you have to compensate for distance, wind, launch speed, arc, and momentum. And since you're probably not Rain Man, you'll get a lot of errant explosions that make for laughs-out-loud at your next party-game session. Not the multiplayer type? Try the billion single-player scenarios that are set up like missions, not just all-out deathmatches. Unfortunately, while the fantastic Worms formula stays intact here, it becomes infinitely more difficult to gauge distances, wind, and all that in 3D. For that reason alone, i can't reccomend this one over its 2D predecessors. |
