iPhone Review: Worms ($4.99)
1 Comment// Posted in Reviews, Video Games, iPhone by Sean on 08.05.09.
Let me start off by saying that I love the Worms games on PC and DS, but they’ve always sucked on any consoles really (even the XBLA isn’t great). But I was pretty excited to hear that the Worms franchise had made its way onto the iPhone gaming platform, and was very hopeful really, especially since the DS version (the DS also being a portable device) was great.
Well that was a dumb decision.
All of the typical worms features are in this game: sweet weapons, funny tiny worm voices, randomly generated maps; the usual. But the controls are just terrible. I kept going back to the game because I really wanted to figure out the controls to play this otherwise seemingly great game. But I couldn’t do it.
The controls are just unbearable. You tap and hold on the left or right side of the screen to move your worm in that direction and you have to tap the worm to jump, which makes it impossible to jump in a certain direction (ie jump while walking). You also have to put two fingers on the screen to move the view, which seems practical, but I just couldn’t get myself to do it. The way these controls are laid out just don’t click naturally with the human psyche (its not just me! I swear!).
So I personally would not get this game at all. And I love the Worms franchise.
