Include all the wespons missing from other great titles (Armageddon/World Party) or GTFO! As much as I missed the voice packs, I missed the weapons more (Where oh where is the Concrete Donkey?!).

Agreed.

We still play Worms on the PC regularly, so I bought the 360 version in the hope that we could play it there, instead of huddling around a PC.

But the game really is more like a demo without the extra weapons.

Yup, I agree completely with that. I heard it was going to be 'cut back' to a degree, but the amount that has gone walkabout is shocking! WWP was one of the few games that got major playtime whenever we got our PCs together for a LAN - Hell, I'd still be playing it over Hamatchi if it'd run on my current GFX card.

It just isn't anywhere near the same playing the XBLA 'cut' of Worms

Any more achievement points/single player game content (backgrounds don't count, I'm talking levels or challenges)?

The extra weapons would be cool but it was nice to play a stripped down version of the game. Made it more tactical and more of a challenge.

That's a nice way of dressing the limited content up, but you could still do the same thing if all the weapons were in there by making custom weapon sets.

I know, I know. It had to be cut down to fit in the (now extended) 50mb limit and all that, but I can't help missing the full Worms experience.
