Average, very Average, not as good as the pc versions, good use of wii remote though. Not bad for a 'sit down' wii game.

I was really looking forward to this,having played and enjoyed all the others.For one,lack of weapons....I even found it rather confusing at times.Not the easiest game to play,either.A thumbs down on this one.It was not a patch on worms 3D.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars They're just not trying now...

As a long-time lover of the Worms franchise, i am saddened to say that this one simply doesnt make the grade. It seems very clear that this was a "rush-job", with many glaring omissions from successful previous worms titles.

There was such opportunity to make this game truly magnificent, but have been wasted either due to a lack of budget, or a lack of will. Either way, the disappointingly limited scope of this version has dashed my confidence in the future of Worms. If we take Worms 2 (probably the best in the series) as a benchmark for customisation and choice, then we can really see where A space oddity has failed. Fewer weapons, less choice, less scope etc.

Good for a few hours, i'll admit, but after that you'll be reaching for the TV remote control. I'm afraid the developers are going to have to try a little harder next time, for the sake of their future...
