Worms Battle Island - Fun Multiplayer Game for Nintendo Wii | Family & Party Entertainment

Worms is a classic game series and Battle Island brings back the original gameplay to the Wii. If you were frustrated with Worms 3D or even A Space Oddity, worry not as this game is strictly "old school" gaming. There is not much new to this game since it's a new version of what we already love, aside from the many custom features. I find these to be more silly than interesting, and somewhat shocking since a lot of the customizations are now missing: less team voices, less hats, shorter character max for worm names, etc). Nothing to get too huffy about, but it's just odd that "Worms Special Edition" I downloaded for my Mac from the App Store still has these things. But what BATTLE ISLAND has that other versions dont (including Mac's "Special Edition") is online gameplay, which is fantastic.Probably the biggest complaint about this game is that you are forced to use the Wii motion controller on its side. This is not a problem, just the biggest problem of the small issues (which is a good thing). I would prefer to play this game using the classic controller but instead, you are basically using an old-school NES layout. The problem with this is that the directions to move your worm AND the camera are one and the same. Difference between the intention lies if you are holding down the back button or not. I don't like this and while I am sort of used to it, it would be nice to have two different toggles and it's surprising that they didn't work this in.This is a highly recommended game for anyone who likes the series or enjoys simple strategy games (Lemmings or Angry Birds fans must check this out!). I grew up addicted to Battle tank and Lemmings and Worms combines the two. Any complaints about this game are minimal and wont effect liking it more or less - just small issues. While you can download this for your computer and enjoy without CD loading time and with full HD graphics, you can't beat the multiplayer online option with Battle Island, which is more than worth it.PROS:*play online multiplayer*classic gameplay: this is the game you love*lots of training and random missions aside from deathmatchesCONS:*cant connect/play with classic controller*less game customizable options that earlier versions*Camera movement is more annoying than it should be*Needs a 3rd zoom option since its not full HD (compared to computer)*Teams have a max of 4 worms instead of 5*bad background music (not that you blast the music or anything)*no leaves falling to show wind (a better guide than the arrows)
