I’ve liked the Worms series for a long time now, though the spin-off games haven’t generally done too well.  So it was mostly out of curiosity that I checked out Worms Crazy Golf today.  The mechanics are pretty simple, just get to the hole on a 2D map, using standard direction-and-strength shooting.  And, as expected from a Worms game, there are some tools to adjust the gameplay (e.g., a parachute for your ball), and various ways to interact with the terrain, like destructible blocks or cannons you can fire out of.

There are some things like unlockable alternate clubs, hats, voice packs, etc., goals to meet, and challenge leaderboards to sustain longer-term gameplay…but the glaring omission is that there’s no online multiplayer, only local hot seat.  Worms is best when played with multiple people, and there isn’t even an AI to play against here, so I’m not really interested in doing much more with it.

(It is pretty generous with the achievements, at least; I got five on the first hole!)
