Some more two-player Worms with my wife again this evening. It’s actually pretty much the only two-player game we can play on the 360. Anyway. I won all 5 games. Only just on at least one though, when a badly aimed banana bomb rebounded and killed two of my own worms leaving her totally unscathed. Tch.
I’ve been playing this a fair bit today, firstly in two-player with my wife, but then I went back to Challenge Mode and worked my way through the remaining few levels. And I completed them! None of those left were especially hard (compared to Level 13, at any rate), although I only won the final one because it went to Sudden Death and the two remaining Boffins got drowned… But that’s it complete – all single player modes and levels …
A friend of mine came round this evening and we played a few rounds of Worms in two-player mode. Needless to say, I WAS WINNER, as I’ve been playing it somewhat more than he has. Either that, or he was crap.
Hurrah! I’ve managed to beat Level 17 of Challenge Mode. I not only managed it, but I managed it with three worms remaining, one of which never took any damage at all. Ace. But then 18 went horribly wrong. I’d wiped out all of one team, just misjudged a fireball punch move thing, which put two of my worms on the edge of a cliff, where they were promptly shot off next go. I had a decent stab at clawing …
After many more tries at Level 13 (which Beck assures me is the hardest of them all), I finally managed it. I didn’t realise previously, but different teams have different personalities, and the Blue Team were way more deadly than the Green Team. Killing the Blues off first, then, was the way to go. After 13 was complete, reaching 17 was pretty simple. I only have one Achievement left to go now too – to complete Challenge Mode.
Played through more of Challenge Mode today, reaching Level 13, which is completely and utterly impossible. I also played a few more games with my wife, and then a few games online with random people. The online games weren’t particularly successful, as people kept quitting. In fact, in one game that I was hosting, some other guy left and I got a message telling me the game had ended because the host had quit. But I was the host. And …
Firstly, I played some more of Challenge Mode, and won two games with ease. Then, I played online. My first game against two other people didn’t last long, as one surrendered on his first go, and the other then quit. My second game, however, was much better. It was against three other people, and I won. Aces. Only just though, and mainly only because it went to sudden death just before my turn. I got a few achievements too, including …
So I bought it. I had to really, because it’s Worms. Yeah, so it’s a cut-down version of Worms, but it is still pretty ace and multiplayer is fantastic as always. But there’s no baseball bat. Pff. I played a few rounds with my wife, and won them all (only just on one though). It’s a shame there aren’t many sound schemes, and only (seemingly) three level graphic themes though. After two-player, I tried to join some online games but …
There was no way I was ever going to not buy a game called Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. It was even more likely I’d buy it when I saw the graphics, in their Zelda sort of way. And I’m glad I did get it because it was lovely. Bad things first though. It’s short. Very short. I was expecting a Zelda length epic, but got maybe two hours tops out of it. Swapping items requires pressing Y and then …
Still nothing to do with midnight, but at least due to the restricted colour palette some levels now seem to be set at night.
With just over 30 hours on the clock, and still lots of side missions, exploring, and so on to do, I completed Yakuza 3. It was really quite easy, but most excellent. I seem to have accumulated a massive pile of, well, stuff. Comfy soles. Platinum Nails. Assorted drinks, tools, bits of junk, and cuddly toys. Also some rare gems and what could be bits of weapons. Have I used any of them? No. In fact, apart from mission-based items and worms …
