Annoying at first, but worth working on

Initially this game is a nuisance, or at least it was for me: I never played the earlier WORMS games. The controls are initially awkward, the computer plays decently even on "beginninger" setting (and finding that setting takes some exploration through the menus). The tutorials are not great. However, if you take an hour or two to fiddle with the tutorials and then play some "multiplayer" games alone (playing both teams), you can get the hang of it. The campaign mode is not bad, and single player is fine, but at first both of these can be frustrating since the computer will kill your worms while youre still trying to find out what button does what. The whole thing is, incidentally, very cute and violent, has lots of funny options, and is lots of fun. This is a great game thats resting on its laurels a bit, I suppose: but keep at it for a couple of hours to get the feel of it (in multiplayer!), and the fun opens up.
