Back in the days Worms use to be one of my all time favorite game and still is.. especielly Armageddon(WA) and World Party(WWP).
When I download and played this game on XBLA, I didnt know what was wrong, but didnt enjoyed the game like I did with the old worms. It's kind the same feeling like when you finally get the final version of the SF2 on XBLA after months of waiting.
Yeah I find the word - DISAPPOINTING..
So I went back to the old worms and here is my answer.
Firstly - the singleplayer gamemode, okey the game does offer Training and Challange, but when you are looking closer, its not even close to the WA and WWP version of the game, what happened to the Missions? like the one to use the ninja rope and collecting the box, using the flying sheep to get stuff which drops from the sky and etc. those are the game mechanism which makes this game worms. But they are gone in the version, not mentions how poor the weapon collections are. I mean you dont need to give us kickass weapons like "Nuke" "Gramma" "Donkey" or whatever, but again dont take away the things which makes the gameplay.
Now lets talk about the graphics ingame, why are they called barrel and mark with fire? doesnt that means it should put fire around when you blow it? but that doesnt happens. also when you try to hit some worm, so it will flying to a direction, the accuracy and sensitivity are so bad in this one. things like when one worm is flying into another one after getting hits, it should be able to move the position of the other worm even just a little bit, its not totally broken in the one. but hey, goodluck with that.
The one thing I do like is the online multiplayer, which would been better with cooler leaderboards like how many worms get killed at once on ranked games, max dmg with 1 worm and stuff like that. more gameplay modes like teams vs teams or just a lot missions people can compete with eachother. but I guess this is what we get for the points. And dont come to me and say "hey, we only had 50mb thats why we couldnt done it better" because I rather wait 2 more month and pay 400points more and get a 150mb game which I am happy and satisfied with than a bad version of a good game. and I think most people'll agree with me.
This is the second game I paid for the full version before I tryout the demo version. I just want to point that I did it because trusted the guys who make this game. I didnt thought some could screw up a game like this. I probably would done the samething if this game happens to be a retail game for 60$. but from now on that wont happen again with games from Team17, thats what I had to say.
One last word, what makes a game fun to play, is not the 1080p or High Def.. its the small things which makes the gameplay..
The game'll join the club of disappointed version of the masterpiece.

I totally agree with you.
But Team 17 couldn't (as I think) made this game up to 150 MB in just two or three months. It takes some longer. But also that time, I would have wait.
The last sentence is ... just too nice ;)

This game was multiplayer-orientated. It's not a retail game, where you should have the full package.
And dont come to me and say "hey, we only had 50mb thats why we couldnt done it better" because I rather wait 2 more month and pay 400points more and get a 150mb game which I am happy and satisfied with than a bad version of a good game. and I think most people'll agree with me.
No, they really did have only 50mb! Microsoft put down that limit, and by the time they started making exceptions, it was too late for worms.
That's why Team17 will be releasing extra material separately. ;)
