First Impressions

What are your first impressions of the game? So far my opinion is divided somewhat. My main gripe is the lack of variety in the levels. There seems to be a rock one, a London one, a volcano one and an ice/Titanic one and that's it?

Also the physics seem slightly different to when I last played worms. Gravity seems to be stronger and the splash damage of explosions is nowhere near the extent to which I remember.

But there are some great points too. Even though it's only 4 players, a Live! game with your mates is great fun. There is a good variety of weapons on offer, the naming of your worms is fun. Plus it's simple to get into and get a game.

So I am reserving judgement at this moment in time. It's a good, solid game but perhaps I was expecting too much.

re: First Impressions

Love it, played a few times with jespomo and Celes Leonhart from neo, had some fun games. Played a 3 way ranked match and won that. Really awesome fun, especially with people you know.

re: First Impressions

I could forgive everything that may be wrong with it just for the fact that it's Worms. I'm pretty sure there is going to be more downloadable content for it so I'm not too bothered about anything that's missing.

re: First Impressions

Man I'm totally stuck on challenge 13. I just can't work out a decent strategy. Their aiming is ridiculous and I can't compete.

re: First Impressions

I've only played about half an hour of it, but I think it's amazing. Having not played Worms in about 7 years, it bring back a lot of memories. It doesn't feel different either, it plays pretty much the same as the old Worms games.

The only big flaw I have found is the AI. One turn they will fire a perfecly accurate shot at you from across the map, another turn they will throw a grenade at themselves, thus blowing themselves up. It's happened twice in my 30-odd minutes of play. But other than that, the game looks superb. ^-^

re: First Impressions

Pretty cool game. I never played a Worms game before. I usually hate turn based strategy games but I like this one. The first few games I played I sucked ASS, I couldn't even beat the CPU on Beginner. I've gotten a lot better though. I'm breezing through the challenges, on 19 now. I probably could've beat all 20 if it wasn't so late. My only gripe is you can't play 4v4 on Live, that would be awesome.

re: First Impressions

fun game, especially online.(as long as you play with people who speak a language you understand)

I admit I was expecting more weapons, but this game overall is fun

thumbs up!

You're up to 19 already? I first played Worms back in 1999 and I can't even beat the 5th challenge mission in this version.

re: First Impressions

Does anyone else keep pressing A to jump and killing themselves? I have done this so many times due to playing a lot of FPS's where A is jump

Yes, I used to do this all the time. Still do every now and then. Having X as the jump button is so unnatural.

re: First Impressions

I have the same problem, though for my it's pressing Y. I dunno why (I've never played a Xbox 360 game where Y is jump), but I always press it instead. It's got me killed loads of times. :\

I'm pretty much used to it now but I did it twice in the same online game. The other guys must have thought I was a total idiot

re: First Impressions

I like it. It's Worms!!! Haven't managed to have a multiplayer game yet, unfortunately, but I'm sure I can persuade jessypom to play - and lose to - me.
