Worms: A Space Oddity (Wii)

This game is rather poorly done. The visuals are very small and even on my 50" TV it is still rather small and unclear. The menu is quite awkward and there doesn't appear to be any team mode. The controls are VERY hard to learn, and work very awkwardly, I feel every time I go and play the game I have to relearn it all because it is so difficult. The weapons are a bit short in list but of themselves they are great worms style destruction. The terrain and landscapes are perfect and very lush and great alien worlds but the worms themselves are blurry and poorly modeled. It is nice to have it on a new game system but it could have been done much better. Hard to suggest this game, if you have never played Worms before and don't have a way to play Worm's 2 then this is a good choice. Die-hard Worms fans will be rather disappointed with the clarity and smooth action it is missing from the previous Worms games.

Everything about this worms is bad. The controls, the use of the weapons, the graphics. Don't buy it.

Having only just started playing, it plays just like all other worms games -- with the exception of having to use the Wiimote as a pointer for the homing weapons, a HUGE plus. Anyone who's played Worms knows how hard it is to use the homing weapons with a joystick. Still, the multiplayer weapon selection seems lacking at this point, so only a 4-star.
