It's only single-player or indeed Hotseat. No online multi-player, it's it also specific mentioned on the store page of Steam: Here are all features again.


EXTENSIVE SINGLE-PLAYER CONTENT:
Single-player career mode - x3 18-hole courses - Britannia, Pirate Cavern and Graveyard, with Steam Achievements.
Single-player challenge mode - x15 challenges with leaderboards.

LOCAL MULTI-PLAYER ACTION:
Hot-seat multi-player for up to 4 players.
HIGHLY RE-PLAYABLE PUZZLE-BASED GAMEPLAY:

Crazy golf! Navigate the hilarious, and increasingly challenging, holes in unique ways with interactive objects, utilities and ball spin.

WORMS™ HUMOUR AND CHARACTERS:
Worms™ humour! Exploding sheep, teleports, ball-whacking Old Women, ball-stealing moles, mines, magnets and even new bats!

CRAZY CUSTOMIZATION:
Customize the name, hat, club, speech and balls of your worm, and earn in game cash to unlock even more customization options.

It annoys me how everything has to play online these days.

I'm glad there are still games out there that don't rely on online play.

dont get me wrong i like the classic hot seat mode too
PRO couching aka splitscreen / seat mode and stuff like this ;)

but i got a live abroad the pc / console ;) (like everyone else i know)

that means couching is just an option @ weekends ;)

after a day in RL me and my friends play together via internet
(welcome to the future btw) we got family you know ;) ... so you cant play hot seat @ 12 pm or later ;)

How about passing time with your family then or going to bed :p

Online would be nice but they were probably planning on making this a much simpler casual game, we know how much flack the Reloaded online got. :p

I want my money back I will never play local I have been waiting to play this with all my w1 and w2 psn friends since it was announced. Lucky I was able to tell them before they wasted their money also.

It's not a "waste of money", it is obviously meant for single player.
It is your fault for not reading the description.

[Jona-Man]

"waste of money"... do you have a mental condition or what? Team17 really did a great job with this game. I would have understand that you have issues with the multi-player in Worms Reloaded or Worms Ultimate Mayhem (not every game can be perfect) but saying Worms Crazy Golf is a "waste of money" is just wrong in a every possible way!

Shadowgate said and I quote:
before they wasted their money

So first read the posts before posting, this way you're just stupid.

It is a waste of money I will only play this with my psn friends and now I can't. Noneof the news before the game came out said local only. Playing worms by yourself unless your a kid is sad.

Really not true at all. We never talked about online with this game, we have allways said that playing this game socially was the best way to play.

Also we know from figures on all Worms games that less than half of all Worms players play games online, which means that most Worms players prefer playing hotseat or against the AI.

All games tell you exactly how many players can play the game and exactly how you can play it offline or online.

You are lucky to even play the game, i may never get to.

Not long ago there was a time I didn't have access to the internet and we used to play games using splitscreens a lot. Today most games sadly don't feature offline multiplayer anymore, apart from exceptions like Worms, the Lego series or, another one of my favourite turn-based games, Heroes.

So on Bill's post, I sorta got hooked to play Worms online as well (encountering strangers with personal play style and strategies is fun as well) but I'd say I still only spend 1/4 of my Worms time playing online :)
