Wormux

Worms is one of the games I remember loving as a kid. The original game that is; the original original one on the Amiga where you could draw your own maps in 'Deluxe Paint'. Wormux thus came as a bit of disappointment to me.

Why? It's buggy - it crashed a few times just as I was getting into it. Additionally you can't make your own teams! One of the best parts of the original was naming your opposition after people you didn't like! Why not have that option in this rehash? Wormux to me also manages to somehow be considerably less responsive than the 16bit Amiga version of the original game - it's a tad clunky and I can't work out why.

It looks great... :/

The upsides? It looks great. It sounds great. They've gone to a lot of trouble to make it look really pretty, and you have to acknowledge it. It's very stylised and I do like that in a game.

Summary

If you liked worms a lot you will like this a bit. If you don't know what worms is you might like it just that little bit more, a playable, very pretty little game you can run in a window.
