Comments on: Snails Game Review

or Worms on the PC. Been out years.

I remember playing Worms on my Amiga, great game ;)

I've played Rifleslugs and I've played Snails. I've played Worms Armaggedon on the PC as well as Worms World Party, and I can clearly say that Snails matches up so much closer to the playability of the original PC games than Rifleslugs, which can be painfully slow at times. Rifleslugs also thoroughly enjoys crashing. Trust me, this game is worth the ten bucks you have to shell out since you'll want to be taking your PDA into the shower just so you don't miss a beat. It's lots of fun, and an equally favorable review.

Have to agree about RS crashing a lot. I just lanched it to compare graphics and got a fatal exception. The graphis are better in RifleSlugs, but landscape mode is not supported. The multiplayer options are nice, with BT, IR or network. Unfortunately, it's been several months since anyone has been online. I may give Worms a look once they come out with multiplayer.

Into the shower is funny.

Now all we need is for Jamdat to port Worms over to PalmOS.

The graphics are the same as on PocketPC but because of the higher resolution, you get more screen estate to view with. Because of the pixel density everything looks sharper. I assume the next version of Snails for PocketPC will take advantage of VGA by giving a larger view - not better graphics.

I've seen the same on other games that have both versions. We used to burn hours playing Warfare Inc with a pair ot T3's and my h2215. Each character will use the same number of pixels, so what you really get is more on the screen. It's a tradeoff either way; you see more of the action on the T3, but objects are larger and easier to see on the PPC. The kids did not care either way, but with games that have very detailed graphics and a high pixel density, you wind up with your nose on the screen and eyestrain.

Oh yes... A $9.95 game without multiplayer, unreal (NOT). Geez!

Cheers!

So when will multiplayer be implemented? ;)
