it's not. it is meant to fix everything that was wrong with the first and add lots and lots of good stuff to boot.

i think i will be getting it. not that i can really afford any DS games with all the PC ones that i want to buy... and the Wii that i should really get etc.

hmph.

bigdunc · 17 Aug 2007 at 11:39

31st August supposedly. Only 2 more weeks to wait.

The Running Man · 17 Aug 2007 at 11:52

excellent is it out in USa yet?

bigdunc · 17 Aug 2007 at 12:20

According to the web, they only get it September 17th.

Thought i should resurrect this thread rather than starting a new one.

So who has bought Worms: OW2 then? I'll be ordering it a little later and am gonna want to swap some friends codes and stuff if possible.
The reviews so far have been exceptionally positive (8.7 on IGN) and it seems like a huge improvement over the first (which i haven't played).

Just over 12k online connections this week so it is decently active. Will be released in the US tomorrow i believe.

Apparently it is, which is why i am getting it. I love worms and this seems like a real step in the series.

Hmm I got burned by the original DS version and the crap online 360 version.

Take a look at the IGN review. Aside from the lack of zoom (no idea why they didn't include this, it's supposedly not needed but still, it wouldn't have been hard) it gets almost total praise. 8.7 for a game in the Worms series is an amazing score.

I would just be happy with a handheld version of Worms armagedon

The Running Man · 4 Sep 2007 at 08:37

The Running Man · 7 Sep 2007 at 19:22

Kamakazie! · 7 Sep 2007 at 22:02

Cool. Mine should be here tomorrow or early next week. I will post my FC then. I look forward to giving you a match some time!

Just wondering. Been hearing problems with people disconnecting like they used to with older online DS games. Does this game not incorporate a system in to it which punishes people who disconnect if they are losing?
I'd have thought that that would be standard with any online game by this point. There should be severe punishments! disconnecters **** me off no end.

I wish disconnecters were banned from playing online for an hour as they obviously don;t want to play the game/have connections issues they need to sort out.
