I am enjoying playing this game so far, but the menu system is kind of a hassle. Customizing your worms and formations is split into several completely different menus which you have to backtrack through the menu hierarchy to find, which makes me wary of wanting to make any changes.

Keep everything in the same place! Something like this would make life easier http://i.imgur.com/KPWb5.jpg (edit: I forgot to draw a pen icon indicating you can rename all worms on that screen)

It doesn't all have to be on the same screen, but at least make all the things a person would want to change at the same time close together.

I know it won't change for this game, but I'm simply voicing my opinion for the future.

Nice, but you need to have it so Worms can be named different throughout all your teams too.

Couldn't agree more, Xinos. The menus in Worms Armageddon/World Party were so intuitive and elegant. I know that they don't want to make all of their games feel too similar, but you know what they say about things that ain't broke.

They should just let you rename worms on every screen where you can see them. And when you buy worms, there should be a "Put this guy in your team" button, and doing so will let you pick the worm he replaces.

I like systems that let you do the same tasks in different places rather than following a strict logic of "no no, you have to go to the renaming menu or people will be confused!"

I agree Xinos. It's a pain to go through all these different menus when you could have had a lot of it in the very same menu.

In the same way that it's a pain to play with friends on PS3 because they would like to customize their own team, and we all know that if you want to use 2 controllers, you need 2 profiles. And if you want to customize your team again you have to log into the other profile, start up the game again, go through all these different menus if you wanted to change more things, then you have a third friend and a third controller, your third friend has to make a new profile so you exit the game, log into a new profile, customize the team, etc. You play for a while and your friend says "I like that soundbank, can I change it?" so you exit the game, log into his profile, go through the menus again, etc. You play for a while, but this time it's forts, your other friends says "Actually, your fort is really cool, I want to use that fort, can I change it?" so you exit the game, log into his profile, go through the menus again, etc. *Sigh*
