Worms on XBLA

[Bad^Hat]

It's up. Downloaded already, played for a bit and decided it was worth the points. It's still Worms, right? Not much they can mess up there, right?

Exceeeeeept for the small fact that it doesn't seem to want to work online ^_^

Every time I went to join a game, it'd let me into the lobby, I'd see and hear everyone fine, but then once the game launched it'd say "game no longer available" and everyone would leave. I got the same thing after trying atleast 5-6 different games, so either I smell or it's borked for now. Unless it's just me of course... anyone else with the game feel like confirming this?

Anyway, it all looks pretty good besides that hiccup, and if it is indeed a problem then one would hope a timely fix was in order. In the way of single-player diversions until then, there's a short tutorial (won't cover anything seasoned Worms players don't already know, except maybe controls), a quick match mode and a series of challenges. Oh, and the achievements of course, but none of them looked particularly challenging from what I could tell.

So, this is the original Worms, right ?

Man, I spent weeks convincing my dad to get it and he wouldn't than one day he goes "Hey, look in that draw" (On this piece of furniture in the hallway of our old house which was NEVER used) and bam, it was in there. It was expensive as hell back than.

I remember remembering the codes for the 'random' maps, so good.

I'll buy it when I get my 360 back in a few days.

LOL, it says something about Worms that my post hasn't put anyone off getting it.

Have been able to join a couple games since, though, and it is pretty fuggin fun. Still kicking me out of the vast majority of games... although it lets me host? Which leads me to believe it might just be me

Really appreciate if anyone can confirm/deny about the connectivity issues. Ta.
