Worms: A Space Oddity

Worms: A Space Oddity is an upcoming Wii game. The game will be the latest in the long running Worms series of video games, and will use gesture based controls which will allow players to launch various attacks. The game has been confirmed to be in 2D and is expected to be released in March 2008. The name is a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey or possibly David Bowie's song "Space Oddity". It will be set in the final frontier, space itself, the combat theme will be Space combat. There will be 6 themes included, namely Cavernia, Tenticlia, Frostal, Kaputzol, Mechanopolis and Earth. There will also be new weapons. The worms are customizable in terms of skin color and helmet style, as in Worms Open Warfare 2. The weapons have been changed to fit the Space theme such as the change of the Sheep to the Robo-Sheep. When Worms: A Space Oddity first was announced, it was going to have Wi-Fi connection and even downloadable content. Team17 then later scrapped the idea of network play, with the publisher stating that it would be better if the players were able to taunt each other and play face-to-face.
