Each team takes turns picking off opposing team members using crazy weapons, tools and other utilities along with whatever foul strategies they can devise. The simple and cute appearance belies the deep strategy of a game that is easy to play but difficult to master. A mix of strategy and arcade action that, although simple to understand, contains real depth and massive re-playability. Turn-based multiplayer action for up to four players locally or over Xbox Live. An assortment of game options: Landscape on which to do battle, Turn and round times, Starting weapon arsenal for each team, Three detailed tutorials to introduce the mechanics to first-time players, Twenty increasingly difficult single-player challenges, Three graphical themes for play, A random landscape generator to ensure that no two landscapes are ever the same, Twenty-two weapons and utilities to deploy against your enemies, Many customisable elements, including what worms and teams are named, what worms say, and which gravestone they have when they die, Twelve achievements, Weekly, monthly and overall leaderboards.

    There are few better multiplayer games in existence, and no better ones on Xbox Live Arcade. If your gaming habits ever include playing with others, online or off, Worms is utterly essential.

    A crisp high definition version of a classic game and, with hardly any faults, can be considered one of the best Live Arcade purchases you'll make. [Issue 24, p.70]

    You’ll enjoy playing the game, but you won’t be able to stop wondering what the game could have been without the 50 MB limit.

    Team 17’s masterpiece is one of the funniest strategic games around. This new HD edition brings to today standards an immortal classic.

    It does right by the classic Worms gameplay, and it's probably the best-looking Worms game ever; but a shortness of features makes it feel a little bare-bones, not to mention a little overpriced.

    Worms feels more dumbed down than watered down, and 800 points is a lot for the novelty of playing an old game in HD. Still, if you buy it, people will most certainly come out to play, and ultimately the gameplay transcends the rather sparse contents.

    But for a few missing weapons, then (sorry - a few dozen missing weapons), this is as close to the series' peak as we've been since the days when the novelty hadn't worn off on the PC, and given the right company you'll find it quite approachable, with simple controls and the usual potential for comedy failure.

    CLASSIC! This game is one of the best. More weaponswould have made it better, but this is well worth the few bucks spent.

    The classic Worms is now available on xbox live arcade. They say simple ideas are often the best and this is definitely true in the case of The classic Worms is now available on xbox live arcade. They say simple ideas are often the best and this is definitely true in the case of this game. Forget the 3D updates which improved the graphics but lost the 'pick up and play' fun factor this is Worms as it was originally, 2D and brilliant fun. Now of course you don't have to wait for you mates to play this game the way it's meant to be played, multiplayer, you just play over xbox live. The best game yet on xbox live arcade easily.… Expand

Fewer weapons and settings than previous versions, buggy and some of the single player AI is too tough. (leading to overly defensive matches) I would have liked the buttons mapped differently as well, jump is assigned to the X button and fire weapon is A (the key that most programs use for jumping). The franchise should have been represented better than this.… Expand

    Very disappointed with this game. I expected a port of the brilliant Worms:Armageddon - but this is more like Worms 1.0 beta lite.

    This isn't the Worms I was expecting. It's like a cheap knockoff.
