Jun 7, 2008 - You could take any game in existence, strip it down, and then try to justify it by saying it's "just supposed to be fun" and "for new players". It's extremely lame in every case, though. Now if the Worms developers managed to satisfy both styles of fans, that would be impressive.

neverchris Says:

Jun 7, 2008 - You actually can. If I remember correctly, you have to make your profile fresh and not use the default one. Something like that. I did lose a few hours of initial progress to that though -_-

neverchris Says:

Jun 7, 2008 - A game with more weapons in which you need to be more strategically inclined with would be best. I'm not asking for a ton of overpowered extra weapons. This is kind of like saying original Starcraft is more challenging that Brood War. I disagree. They really could have easily included a few more levels too. I'm sure they have a level editor which could have easily spit them out. But they didn't.

neverchris Says:

Jun 7, 2008 - If you love the series, you'll still have fun. That doesn't mean it isn't watered down and lacking multiplayer though. Chill out next time bro :-)

Jun 8, 2008 - i guess... but the example made from space oddity was the fact that satisfyin both types of gamers atonce just cant be done. noobs wana gt an instruction manual on everything and have a step-by-step guide on the smallest things, and very slowly work their way up through a series of tutorial levels untill they've had enough.

stormtrooperjango Says:

Jun 8, 2008 - pros, however, wanna get thrown into the deep-end with all the games greatest features and take advantage of every one of them- customising it to make it their own, playing the story to kick some comp ass and to unlock more, and finaly play online to rank themselves against al the other pros and 'SHOW 'EM WHO'S BOSS, EH?'. i wouldn't call myself a proper full-on pro, but i beat my friends and win most of my online games

Jun 19, 2008 - Nice review. I was deciding whether to buy this or Open Warfare 2. Definitely buying Open Warfare 2.

Jun 24, 2008 - Can you review top spin 3? It's the first non casual tennis game on the wii and I'd like to hear your opinion on it. thnx

Jun 24, 2008 - You know that he did say 'space oddity' and even if he did say 'odyssey', who gives a crap anyway? Learn to listen and get some special help while your at it.

Dreedas Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - isn“t 3D?

SantuXD1 Says:

Jul 27, 2008 - so... ... you hate the game?

ballkirby1 Says:

Jul 30, 2008 - Open Warfare 2 is the best worms game.

minibeeper Says:

Aug 1, 2008 - U probably hate the game because maybe u suck shit at the game loser.

neverchris Says:

Aug 1, 2008 - Actually I dislike the game for the specific reasons mentioned in the video but then "U" are probably too dumb to realize that.

Matmax14 Says:

Aug 4, 2008 - i bought this game today...at first i hated this game but after 1 hour playing this it was really cool...

Squirp Says:

Aug 5, 2008 - I think its worm a space oddity much better contrls and cool ass minigames

Squirp Says:

Aug 5, 2008 - Yo I have this game for cellphone and it rocks so I will enjoy it even more for wii.

loopylouie101 Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - You're a mardy arse mate, you clearly hate Worms and only like to winge. The only reason Worms isn't online is because Nintendo have made the service impossible to set up for third party developers

neverchris Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - No, it's a review, so I reviewed the game and was honest and clear about how it came up short. Did you seriously expect this game to be a perfect 10? Third party companies have used the online service and really that doesn't even matter because regardless of whether it's Team 17's, THQ's, or Nintendo's fault, a missing feature is a missing feature. In this day and age, Worms is the kind of game that needs to be released with online play or else it is clearly gimped.

Squirp Says:

Aug 6, 2008 - No I expected a 8-9 score.

going2getya Says:

Aug 16, 2008 - Worms is rather like Bomberman(aka Dyne Blaster) it rocks, but as you said these games strengths are the multi-players in particular the online multi-player. In todays world online play is expected. I still favour Worms World Party, never liked these 2D versions.

going2getya Says:

Aug 16, 2008 - never liked these 3D versions*
