Can't see it on the PSN store. Is it there yet? It is now (5.15pm).

And to answer your question. Is it worth it? Maybe not as I have umpteen versions of it already. Will I buy it? Definitely - I love Worms!

I love Worms, but I'm just not prepared to pay £7.99 for it.

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

Had a quick blast this morning. Basically, it is pretty similar to the 360 version, with sharper visuals and some new sound effects. The structure is the same with the challenges and option to set up a custom game. Haven't been online yet, so I can't comment on that bit.

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

Just downloading it now.

I wasn't prepared to pay £7.99 for it, so I've game shared with the mrs & her PS3, which makes the price more attractive

Does anyone know if the game has trophy support?

Also has some addition weapons as well. Flying sheep and holy hand grenade were not on the 360 version I dont think?...

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

Starting an online game is a bit tricky, and having to re-create a game at the end each time is also a PITA (why can it not just keep the lobby and allow friends to keep playing !!!)

Now I remember the days of playing late into the night (just to finish one more level).

Just missing the 50,000 damage for the final trophy .... now to get some sleep

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

Can anyone tell me how similar this game is to worms armaggedon? I think 7.99 is a bit pricey but if its anything like WA, it will be 7.99 well spent.

This trophy came on the 2nd run thru the single player game (plus a few retries on a few of the later levels) ... now at 100%

After the first run thru the single player you should have gotten (or be very close, depending on how times you retry some levels) the silver 25,000 trophy.

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

I LOVE WORMS!
I used to play it on the PC when I was real young and then my sister got it for her PSP.

So I don't know if it's worth getting it for the PS3 when I can play it on her PSP

But it's a good funny game lol

2D - it's an updated version of the classic game.

£7:99 IMO well worth it, spent more time on this over the weekend then some of my £39:99 games!!!
Very addictive classic game.

Looking forward to late night games with my mates after a few beers etc, online is Bluetooth enabled so sure to have some right lol moments!!!
Only bad thing I can think of is the ninja rope does not go al the way round, also once you get past beginner online the time is for each round is just 30 seconds no where near enough time to make your move. You need to advance to open up all weapons so this is a real shame as have to keep playing beginner as I like time for each move.

I hope there are updates in future?

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

I couldn't get the Ninja Rope to spin to a vertical 12 o'clock position whilst I've been playing it over the weekend - I used to be able to reach anywhere on the map in the classic PC versions, but not anymore

I don’t think that’s a bad thing though, may make it a little too easy if you could do 360.

Gameplay-wise it's the double to Worms 2\Armageddon\World Party. Concrete Donkeys et al. The only thing that differs is the menu options.

Is this game in 1080P? I really miss playing Worms & for £7.99 is has got to be worth a punt.

The core gameplay is the same but its more like the other modern versions of the game on the handhelds and the XBLA. Unfortumately many of the weapons and tools have been taken out in the modern games.

I would say it is worth the money. It is basically just the same as the DS and PSP games which sold for full price. I already own the game on the XBLA and still don't feel ripped off for buying this one despite it being near identical.

Only have two complaints:

1) The game keeps freezing my PS3 when searching for online games. This is really annoying as it requires a hard reset on the console. Seems to be happening to me quite often. Anyone else having this issue ro found a way round it?

2) Not a fault of the game but I have had bad luck with people I've been playing against quitting when it is obvious they have lost. did have a couple of really good games with honorable folk around my skill level.

I had that problem; the secret is to have the game type as ‘any’ works every time.

The headset will match automatically you don’t need to do anything there. When you host a game make sure you have all the options on ‘any’ when you join a game again make sure you have all option as ‘any’

There may be bugs I guess that why you cannot do a ranking game this is when it crashes I believe.

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

I played my missus online last night, & whooped her 2-0

She got her own back by beating me on EG-WT though

Online headset chat works a treat

I hope that Team 17 release future updates with new weapons.

That would be brill, customise worms Rambo style , new weapons would be good too although not sure what more you could add.

Has anyone used the donkey? Its too good!!!!

One thing that annoys me is that to use the banana bomb and donkey you have to go up a level, you go up a level you only get 30secs for each move!!! Way to short when your online trying to have a tactical game!!!

So a patch on that would be great!!!!!

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

What do I have to do to activate the banana bomb & donkey in offline play?

The challenges start getting tricky from around level 14 onwards - it's not fair playing two teams with full health, against my single team

I'm on level 18 and it well hard 2 teams on FULL energy the level you are on there on about 20 so one good hit should do the trick.

My advice is to set mines off with jet pack for free kills, and push as many as you can in the water, base ball bat works very well for that. I have a silver trophy for getting to level 18 not sure how you get gold.

Online you only get the banana bomb on advance play or something like that, 2 levels above beginner I believe. I donkey is stupid and kills many worms.

Re: Worms - Play and Help Thread

The sheep is very useful for inflicting lots of damage, but use it wisely when there are a group to attack, they usually get blown to the sides and set off more mines too.

Don't worry as you only have to cope with 3 teams of fully energised worms soon

The last challenge I complete had 3 teams I think, with 60 health on each Worm (I could be wrong though).

So is there no way of activating the banana bomb in offline play?
