Worms

"Use the dragon punch!!!!!! Welcome to Worms."

Welcome to worms for your xbox 360. Prepare yourself for epic battles and comedic wars only the live arcade could handle.

Story

A long time ago a young . . . wait a second, wrong game. To be honest this game doesn't have much in the way of a story . . . well there is no story. This is a party game. Your squad of four worms will wage war with up to three other teams over xbox live and against a computer team in the challenges. The game offers up 20 challenges for players to go through in single player. If you feel you need something else to do, join xbox live and have a nice battle with some friends. The game offers up a large variety of weapons at your disposal, with some unique stages to add. My only complaint is that at times it may feel a little unfair starting off corned by three opposing worms and have to wait till they have beat on to try and even it out.

Control

Very easy and simple to use. The x button is your jump button. Tap it twice to perform a double jump. Be careful though, falling or jumping form to high will cause damage and cost you your turn with that worm. The a button is used to attack using the weapon you have chosen. Hold it to charge up the selected weapon. The b button is used to open the weapon select screen. To choose your weapon you simply push the a button. The left stick is used to move your worm around and to aim your weapon. The right stick moves the cursor around the map so you can see where your team is and all the other worms. The left and right triggers zoom the map in or out. Very simple controls and they are easy to master. Once again my only complaint with the control would be sometimes it's hard to judge your jump or double jump. Not that big a deal though as it does not take away from the game at all.

fun

Yes fun. This game is great fun. You'll have a blast playing with your friends or other people on live, and the single player if great too. The things the worms say as they get hit, attack, and dies are hilarious.

Graphics

Nothing mind blowing here in terms of graphics, just simple 2d animations and bright colors that look very nice. The death animations are nice as the worm will blow its self up and turn into a grave stone(which you can choose in the settings menu).

In the end this game offers good clean fun for everyone to enjoy. With the ability to make your own team, name them, and take them on live for an all out war, this game just screams good times at you. I really urge you to download this game now. Also be aware that more content for the game is on its way so there will be plenty of things to blow up and tons of worms to kill. Have fun and see you all online.
