INTRODUCTION
Hold onto your hats, space cowboys, and interstellar adventurers! “Worms: A Space Oddity” for the Wii is the sequel we’ve all been waiting for, bringing with it battles across six cosmic playgrounds chock-full of new artillery and gadgets. Now, let’s jump down this cosmic rabbit hole, shall we?
WORMS GO INTERPLANETARY
Remember the days when Worms simply tunneled through Earth, causing mayhem and destruction? Well, those Earth-bound days are behind us, folks! In “Worms: A Space Oddity,” the little wigglers have traded dirt for dark matter and are duking it out across SIX different planets. Each planet has its unique setting and events, so you’re not just hopping from one brown blob to another. Nope, you’re getting the whole cosmic smorgasbord here! Worms have gone from backyard bullies to universe conquerors, and there’s nothing like a bit of extraterrestrial extermination to spice things up.
MASTER THE WII REMOTE IN BATTLE
So you think you’ve mastered the Wii remote, huh? Well, think again. This game takes your typical swing-and-point gameplay and rockets it into outer space! Now, you can use that Wii remote to direct missiles toward enemy worms or even “squash” them by smashing the remote downward. A proper stroke of genius! The game has been explicitly tailored to capitalize on the unique capabilities of the Wii remote. So, say goodbye to button mashing and hello to what might be the most innovative use of the Wii remote since, well, Wii Sports!
ENGAGE IN TRADITIONAL WORM WARFARE WITH FRIENDS
Sick of beating your grandma at Wii Tennis? How about challenging her to some good ol’ Worm warfare? You can play against up to four human opponents in the game’s traditional mode. Grandma might make a mean apple pie, but can she command a squadron of spacefaring worms with the tactical acumen of Napoleon? It’s the perfect way to settle family disputes—just leave your squeamishness at the door because it’s worm-eat-worm out there!
MINIGAMES AND CUSTOM MAPS
But wait, there’s more! If decimating worm enemies across various planets becomes a little too “been there, done that,” you can dive into a delightful series of minigames. But let’s make it better: the game enables you to design up to sixteen unique maps. Yes, SIXTEEN! If you put your mind to it, you could become the Christopher Columbus of worm worlds. No two battles must be the same; creativity is the game’s name here.
NO ONLINE MULTIPLAYER? REALLY?
Here’s where we hit a little speed bump on our interstellar highway. In a move that may have fans scratching their heads, this game version doesn’t support online multiplayer. It’s like owning a spaceship but forgetting to install the hyperdrive! This absence can feel like a step back in today’s digital age, where even your fridge can connect to the Internet. We’ve gone from planetary explorers to space hermits, confined to local skirmishes. Look on the bright side: at least you can still whoop your friends in person!
So there you have it: your cosmic guide to “Worms: A Space Oddity.” Whether you’re a fan of the previous games or a newcomer just trying to squirm your way into the fandom, there’s much here to dig into (pun intended). Get ready to worm your way across the galaxy!
