THQ Inc. today announced Worms: A Space Oddity, the newest iteration of the popular turn-based strategy game scheduled for release on the Nintendo Wii in spring 2008. This time, however, players will be closer to the action than ever before, launching attacks through a wide range of gesture-based maneuvers only possible with the Wii Remote.
In Worms: A Space Oddity, players will enjoy the ultimate blend of classic Worms game modes and re-invented single-player missions, as well as multiplayer modes that include a host of all-new party games and even more customization options. The game takes advantage of the Wii’s intuitive controls, on-screen hints and the redesigned interface with an in-game help system. Worms: A Space Oddity demonstrates significant visual, technical and design advancement over its predecessors with a new visual style that abandons the traditional drawn approach and replaces it with a distinctive style inspired by classic Sci-Fi looks. The Worms battles take place across six planets, each with its own, unique environments and global events. The online multiplayer experience pits up to four Worms fiends from all over the world against each other.
When I read that Worms was coming to the Nintendo Wii I was really happy because I’ve many memories of Worms on the PC and they’re all superb. It might even be one of the few games that is actually better to play in 2D rather than 3D. Even now I still play it from time to time. Of course, it’s another story entirely when you consider the multiplayer mode where you can compete with people from all over the world. That’s when the party will really start with Worms on the Nintendo Wii games console.
