You know how I whould like Worms 5 to be? Have a 3d Base as a Menu. The base should be made form 4 buildings: Baracks, Academy, Shop and bedrooms. Each player should have only one team. You should access each building by clicking on it. The baracks should allow you to make your weapon, worms, dress each worm as you want ,buy his own ammo and speciality, and recruit up to 6 worms. There should be a total of 50 worms. Academy: Where you choose your mission and/or create your own game and schemes. You should be able to enter multiplayer from here. At the shop you should buy weapons, clothes, schemes, lands, etc. At the bedrooms you should be able too buy worm slots. At the beginning you should have ten, then buy 20, 30, 50. Won't that be cool?

This sort of thing tends to annoy me.

If I want to play a game, I don't want to have to walk to the right part of the menu and talk to the right NPC to do so any more than I want to watch an unskippable FMV sequence or wait five minutes while it loads. I want to go from sofa to action in the minimum time required for the machine to learn what settings I want.

Andrew's got my vote. Easy to navigate, non-gimmicky menus. When I want to play a game, I go to "Play". I want Options, I go to "Options".
