Just like the PC only worse.

The Good
It is very easy to sit down and play this game for an hour or two with some friends and blow most of an afternoon. It is so much easier to play this than to organize it infront of a computer screen because you can take advantage of the multiple controllers.

The Bad
Where to begin...

If you don't have a keyboard you will easily know exactly what I'm talking about here. So many features don't work without one. Grenades are stuck on 3 seconds minimum bouncing. You can't change that no matter what you do. Meanwhile a computer will land every grenade on top of your head with any of the 1-5 second times. That is assuming that they don't kick it in the wrong direction (which they seemed to do a lot.)

Girders are forever stuck in the vertical 2 section postition. Great for blocking horizontal shots but not much else. Computer players again can rotate and place them anywhere.

There are no saving and customizing features at all. You have a few preset weapon schemes and teams but you can't do much else with them because every time I tried to save a team it would be deleted. There wasn't even an option to change my weapons schemes as far as I could tell.

Missing weapons... sure this was an internet game but just because it's internet doesn't mean that you need to cut out some of the best weapons. All stuff involving napalm and animations of objects were missing. Things that didn't even need to be syncronized were missing. Crates didn't dance and barrels didn't shift. Everything seemed static.

The Bottom Line
Exactly like Worms World Party for the PC, only with less features and fewer weapons, and worse control. Go for the PC version if you are looking in the Worms franchise.
