Worms was one of the first games I owned, (actually it was worms 3 Armageddon.) I remember enjoying myself a ton when I played it and now it comes back in arcade form. Now the gameplay itself is rather fun, the AI is challenging and you can take it online for some less skilled (The AI is insane at throwing grenades and shooting rockets), but more decisive players. There is no story line other than worms killing worms, and instead of a campaign there is just a series of graduated challenges. (The last two are quasi-impossible.) However, it makes you feel good when you beat it all.

Another good thing about this game, like all Xbox arcade games, is the achievement system. The achievements are all pretty fun and well placed. The graphics may not seem very good at first, but there is an incredible amount of detail in the background and even the terrain and worms look defined in HD. The graphics are much better than the original so that is good.

Now for the downside. I had been used to playing worms 3 when I started to play the 360 version. And there are about 3 times as many weapons in worms 3 as in the 360 version. (Holy Hand Grenade, Supersheep, etc.) So i was very dissapointed when I realized there were almost none of my favorites for me to play with. In fact after about five hours of gameplay, all the weapons get really boring and I long for a nice napalm strike from Worms Armegeddon. However, probably the biggest downfall of the game is the price. 10$ for a game that probably barely give 15 hours of repetitive play is too much. In summary: Good game, but if you didn't play it back in the day, it really isn't worth your time, HD space, and money.
