The sequel to one of the top selling Xbox LIVE titles arrives tomorrow! WORMS™ has been one of the most successful and consistent Xbox Live titles since its launch in March 2007 and now it’s back, bigger and better than ever for this stunning and feature packed new edition, launching on the 10th anniversary of the release of Worms Armageddon.

I never played the first Worms but I hear that it was quite enjoyable. Is it worth downloading in everyone's opinion?
I've never played the first one. Though looking at the picture posted it looks like its something simular to Pocket Tanks. Which was an amazing PC game that even worked great on laptop's and mini laptop's. I'll download the trial and see if I like it once released and then go from there before purchasing.
Sounds like a good idea there King. I think I'll give the trial a shot and see how it plays. 800 points for the sequel seems like quite a steal.
Yes worms is amazing, I was a massive fan of it on the PC before it went 3D (the 3d ones wernt that bad I enjoyed the 2d games more), Worms Armageddon was one of the best Worms games on the PC so I’m expecting this to be great. The first one on Xbox Live is basically a port of Worms Open Warfare from the PSP, which was basically a remake of Worms 1. Expect this one to be a lot more fun!
Hmmmm rope racing in bold text. Wonder why that is InsaneNutter I'll be buying this tonight, if anyone wants a go on XBL with me I should be on about 7:30 GMT+1 (British Summertime).
I’ve already purchased it, done the first 17 missions now I’m stuck on number 18. Best arcade game for a long time! It has a mode dedicated to ninja ropes, what more could you ask for
We could ask them to do a little testing before launching it? Your stats dont work on any other console even if your signed in. So you work your butt off unlocking weapons to then not be able to use them on another console. Oh and even worse, it deletes all your progress! Cheers Team 17, this is why your going bankrupt.
Maybe let them know on the Team 17 forum? a minor bug that I’m sure will be patched if they know about it.
Is the game put into dumbass mode when you only play the trial version? I don't even have to do anything the CPU team just teamkills. Its hard to enjoy a game where the way you beat it is just by doing nothing. Also if I hear "just say hi because hello is complicated enough" ONE MORE TIME, I'm gonna lose it! I though they say other things but NO, that would apperently be to much for them to do.
Its pretty much the same, though with new weapons and some game modes, more of an addon. If you didnt like the original worms I wouldnt touch this. However if you do like Worms I still wouldnt recommend getting this unless your a major fan because Team 17 failed to test the game, just once. Me and insanenutter have found three game killing bugs: 1) Online play with Forts or Rope Race doesn't work (Surely they tried it, just ONCE and would have found the bug) 2) Game crashes Xbox in lobby (if they played it for more than 5 minutes, it should have been noticed) 3) Save Game deletes itself when loaded on new console (You telling me not once did someone who's testing it didn't try it on another console?) This has to be one of the worst launches for an Xbox Live Arcade game, it needed testing before being put online to purchase!
