Just wanted to make a post since I got the full game. Freaking great game if you like worms. All the weapons, tons of voices and graves. Great online. All kinda of game modes, normal, rope, crate drop and more. So if you like worms this is an easy keeper. Like the old one for the computer....

After playing this game more it still is freaking awsome. But it is buggy. It freezes up a lot. Kinda reminds me of the old one that always messed up on the computer. But still a game that I will play for a while

I have this a find it a great time killer with friends if were just cooling off from the sun or waiting for a 1 vs 100 to start.

Anyways hhaven't had it freeze yet

But I would have to disagree and say its missing some of the wepaons from the dreamcast verison (or my memorys gone) missing

The achievements are ridiculous, but I do really like all the customization options

I remember the nuke but not the super banana bomb. That will be for worms 3... lol. I had it freeze on me again last night. And one thing. You cant boot people from the party. So when you get that idiot who doesnt ready up you have to sit there or back out and restart. That might come with an update when they do one.

Anyone else experiencing lock ups? I want this game, but I rather wait until the problems are fixed if they are common.

Any way to not have it pop up your stupid avatar thing every time it's your turn?

Ok... For those who own the game. I am stuck on the last level of the 1 player game. Where you get 3 worms. 2 have 1 point and 1 has 30..... How do you beat this I tried like 30 times!!! Thanks

The crashing when selecting a new landscape is being widely reported, so no doubt they will fix it.

I've also noticed that backwards jumping is very unreliable. Often when you press the jump button twice, you'll jump forward and make yourself look like a idiot as your Worm commits suicide by jumping into the water and so on. Seen this mentioned at many forums so I hope its patched soon. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it happens. I'm only successfully doing it 50% of the time, and double tapping quickly or a little more slowly doesn't seem to matter.

Never had any troubles with backwards jumping in any other Worms game, including the first XBLA one.

There's some videos on Youtube. You have to be very good with the rope, which I'm not.

I made a custom mode and and whenever we pick it to play you can't move your worms. Anyone else had this problem?

And how do you get the rest of the weapons like the concrete donkey?

Like the banana bomb in the last XBLA release and all the special weapons in Worms titles over the years, generally you have to pick them up in a crate rather than starting out with them in your inventory.

I'm guessing your custom mode was done as a trick level or whatever the heck they're called? Theres some in single player where you can't move your Worm but have to use your inventory to get to a exit, etc.

You play the campaign to earn points and then buy them in the store - then you can enable them for custom games.

I don't think it was made as a trick level. Just made a game type on the main screen which was mainly moding weapon amounts and saved it as "crazy" and loaded teams, and then a level and tried to play.

Tried multliple loads, levels, turning on/off the xbox. Remaking the game type/mode

Yeah they really need a private game option or a kick feature. Other than that, liking it so far after only playing a few quick games against my buddy online.

Yes--this is driving me nuts. So much so that I have virtually given up the backflip any time there's danger in front of me. It's ruining the game, I don't know how they let this get past beta testing.

On another note, is there a way to regenerate the landscape if you don't like the one you're dealt, like there was in Worms 1?

That would be one of the landscape changing buttons on the left. You can't change for campaign or forts though, obviously.
