Since then the game has come a long way and added a level up kind of system where you earn 0.1 points per kill (I think) and you unlock different weapons/classes as you progress. The last unlock seemed to be at 500 points which puts that unlock at 50,000 kills if I did my math correctly. My first game gave me about 65 kills and it goes up a little bit each game I play. I did have some previous experience so I knew what I was doing from the start.
If you don't have a friend to play with there's a local mode where you kill drones that chase after you. I thought it was awesome (especially considering the game was going to be released as a multiplayer-only game at one point!) as it gets a little tougher as you go but you're always working towards that next unlock. I didn't have a chance to test multiplayer, either system link or on Xbox Live, but if it's anything like it was when I played with a friend long ago then it's definitely worth checking out!
The game has plenty of replayability if you're going for those unlocks but since some of the last unlocks are at a pretty ridiculous standard you might have to do some grinding to get those last few. If you have a friend to play against and you enjoy just jumping around, setting traps, tag, whatever floats your boat there's plenty to do with your imagination. My friend and I played king of the hill and used the anti-mater gun (which creates little circles of dirt that you must blow your way through or slowly dig through it) and that in itself was loads of fun.
The game plays super smooth and I only had one instance of a slight lag spike. I think the $3 price range is scaring off some of the initial buyers but you should at least check out the demo. Especially if you're a Worms fan!
