Game Overview

Worms: A Space Oddity is the “Worms” experience re-imagined for the Nintendo Wii. Retaining the classic turn based gameplay, stylized environments and humor synonymous with the brand, Worms: Wii brings players closer to the game than ever before! Taking advantage of the Wii controller with a redesigned control scheme, players will launch attacks with unique Worms weaponry via a wide range of gesture based maneuvers.

The Good

Creative use of the Wii Remote, Good variety of gameplay modes, Multiplayer battles are great fun.

The Bad

No online multiplayer, Limited selection of weapons, Camera control can be frustrating.

The Bottom Line

In Worms: A Space Oddity, players can enjoy the ultimate blend of classic Worms game modes and single-player missions, as well as multiplayer modes that include a host of all-new party games and even more customization options. The Worms battles take place across six planets, each with its own, unique environments and global events. The game takes advantage of the Wii's intuitive controls, on-screen hints and the redesigned interface with an in-game help system. The online multiplayer experience pits up to four Worms fiends from all over the world against each other.
