I have to say that the game is definately worth buying if you like the 2D Worms games. The game plays just like the computer versions, with a few less options.
Controls
The controls for the game are very good. You use the nub to control the camera. The left and right shoulder buttons are to zoom in and out. The Worms movement is controlled with the left and right directional buttons and the aiming is done with the up and down buttons. The triangle button sets the time for grenades and other explosives. The X button sets power and fires the weapons. The circle button brings up the weapon menu. The square button is jump, press once for forward and twice for the strong backflip. The controls actually work well and make the game easy to play.
Gameplay
The graphics are just what you would expect from a Worms game. The 2d board and Worms look good and the 3d background actually makes for a nice look. The load times are not too long. The sound is clear with the typical Worms music and Worms voices. You can set up your own teams and name your Worms. You can also set the game schemes, AI and weapons. It has most of the set up possibilities as the computer.
The game uses teams of four Worms for each game and you can use up to four teams in a game against the AI. The game does only have a limited number of the weapons available from the computer version. The biggest problem I found was that you can not tab to another worm, you have to use the Worm that is selected or lose your turn.
Overall
Overall the game is a great portable version of Worms. Anyone who is a fan of Worms and is looking for Worms on the go should get this game. For anyone who has not tried Worms this is a good version to start with, it represents the franchise well.
hey sleb thanks for the review. By the way i'm sure you can unlock more weapons and also the tab option must be available it was on the previous woms games.
The game does have ad-hoc, just no infrastructure. I have not found any way to unlock any other weapons or the tab function. As I said the game is still fun to play, just need to use a little more strategy without the tab function.
