Finally! Worms is coming to XBLA next Wednesday

     Does it suck?

We already knew that Worms made it through certification earlier this week, but now we know that it will be next week's Live Arcade game. If you haven't lost interest in Worms because you thought it was going to come out weeks ago, then scrounge up 800 Microsoft Points for next Wednesday.

Chances are you've played a Worms game before, but if you haven't, you can expect a turn-based game that involves worms killing each other with a variety of strange weapons.

Check out the game details after the break. 

 

 

·         A mix of strategy and arcade action that, although simple to understand, contains real depth and massive replayability

·         Turn-based multiplayer action for up to four players locally or over Xbox Live*

·         An assortment of game options:

o    Landscape on which to do battle

o    Turn and round times

o    Starting weapon arsenal for each team

·         Three detailed tutorials to introduce the mechanics to first-time players

·         Twenty increasingly difficult single-player challenges

·         Three graphical themes for play

·         A random landscape generator to ensure that no two landscapes are ever the same

·         Twenty-two weapons and utilities to deploy against your enemies

·         Many customizable elements, including what worms and teams are named, what worms say, and which gravestone they have when they die

·         High-definition visuals and many graphical improvements throughout the game

·         Twelve achievements

·         Weekly, monthly and overall leaderboards

no holy hand grenade is a bummer, but this game coming out is probably the best thing that will happen all March...unless God of War 2 actually comes out

I loved this game when I was younger. XD But, I'm personally waiting in a deep hope that SOTN actually does come to XBLA. ;_; I will cry tears of joy...

But yeah, I'll get it too.
