Anyone give this a go?

I like the cute graphics, just wondering if anyone else is buying so we can get some multiplayer games going...

The reviews said the single player mode sucked. Do you agree?

Multiplayer worms is always better than single player. The damn computer can always manage to pull off those backwards wind-blown rocket shots with perfect aim and that really takes the fun out of things.

That said, I haven't played the DS version ... I'm just talking about 2D Worms in general.

I haven't bought it yet, waiting for someone else here to do the same so we can play some multiplayer games instead.

Actually, I didn't realize it was out, but now that you've told me I'll probably pick it up after dinner tonight. I really like Worms, and playing it via wifi multiplayer would be sweet.

Great let me know afterwards so I can pick it up too.

Bought it and returned it.

You can't switch between worms on your team.

Roping controls are absurd and impossible.

The game looks and feels generally sloppy and unfinished.

Etc.

Don't pick this up.

Well that's disappointing. This had the potential to be the only decent portable Worms.

Then again, are you sure you didn't just need a specific item to switch? Also, rope controls have been horrible since the 3D stuff started ... I can't imaging them being much worse than that.

Maybe they based it on Worms 1 ... I dunno, I guess I'll have to try it out before I buy one.

I'm interested in this one because the graphics look kinda cool.

The 3-D styled worms back on a 2-D world.

If only they go back to the true 2-D worms.:(

Item huh? I suppose that's possible, was that the case in Worms 1? It really seems that I tried absolutely everything however, both my friend and I simultaneously.

Even so I wouldn't have kept the game.

Also the 2D is horrible, without a doubt not up to par with what the DS is capable of. The worm sprites are strikingly low res.

I installed Worms Armageddon to get the taste out of my mouth, and man I'll probably start playing it again. Such a quality game.

Sombody on the IGN message board who's a big Worms fan got it and had a giant thread on how bad it was. He didn't say how the multiplayer was but from all the bad comments he had about it, I'd stay far away from it.

If I find his post I'll re-post it here.

Actually, Worm-switching wasn't common (maybe not even possible) until Worms 2. It was on by default in W2, then they limited it a bit in the later ones. I think it's in a toolbox these days if you don't start with a few.

That's good to know. I'll definitely have to spend some time with it before I buy one.

Yeah, the original 2D worms (PC version for me) was where it was at.

A little OT: Does anybody know if there are plans for a Lemmings port/remake to the DS? I think it'd play quite well with the stylus and could make great use of the two screens.
