Despite newer worms versions added a lot of new weapons and boosted graphics, the first game is undesputedly my favorite. I think that mostly because of ninja rope - it can be mastered a lot more in this title. Playing with friends and family on "hot seat" mode is the most preferrable way of enjoying this title. Hardest AI always uses wind to its advantage and never misses. When playing with computer I strongly recommend limiting granades and bazookas, because those two are almost only weapons computer uses. When you leave them without those, it makes playing against CPU a lot more fun.
I consider this title the best of the whole franchise. It is definitely most RPG-like. Latter titles are more action packed and console-like. Origins has isometric view and great feeling of team combat, just like old classics - Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale. A bit more simplistic mechanics than old RPGs, but still the game can be challenging. The whole package is a lot of hours of gameplay. I'd say 150+ (for completionists like me it's probably 200-250h). It has a nice story and interesting characters. Not to mention epic battles with very well depicted dragons. It may be a few years old now, but I believe it's still fresh enough. I strongly recommend this to any RPG fan (especially to old-school players). That much content for this price is a hell of a bargain!
