This is "Ground Control to Major Worm!"
The Good
Fresh and fun weapon control
Huge list of options
Good visuals
The Bad
The same gameplay
No online multiplayer mode
Limited in terms of weaponry
The Bottom Line
Worms returns with a new game exclusive to the unique Nintendo Wii console. Unexpectedly, there are some new modes in the game. The story mode and a customizable mode where you make your own landscape are just two of them. The visuals are pretty good, and the weapon control system is decent enough, but there are some flaws which stab the game from its back. The impressive online multiplayer mode is gone, there aren't many weapons to choose from, and the gameplay is nothing new. Nevertheless, Worms: A Space Oddity is a great weekend rental. If you are a fan of Worms, then keep this game until Space Oddity 2 is released.
