*Fewer items - you have a good selection of weapons, but the most exotic items are the exploding sheep and banana bomb - no Holy Hand Grenade, Carpet Bomb or jet pack in this version.

And this version alone retains a great sense of fun and exploration that the many rehashes seem to replace with cynicism.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But as the precursor to one of the best (if a little tired) multiplayer series ever devised, it’s well worth giving a shot, no matter how familiar you are with other instalments.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its a lot of fun, but better being played with a friend.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The hand-drawn landscapes, expressive worm animations, and cheerful sound effects give the game a timeless feel.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

You might want to hunt down the SNES version though since it is a lot better in my opinion since it already didn't have online play and it's pretty much the same game but with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard which makes it a little bit easier to play once you get the controls down.
