With the current discount on Worms I was seriously considering purchasing it. I have Snails but another variation seemed really cool. Well from what I can tell from the whopping 18 minutes or so that Hexacto let me play the demo, I would go for Snails. Here's why (MY OPINION)

-Snails has background music. Worms doesn't. In fact, Snails has amazing background music that ads to the atmosphere significantly. The sounds in Snails are much better too.

-Snails has background graphics. Worms doesn't. It feels like you're just playing in space in the Worms world whereas in Snails the backgrounds really add to the atmosphere (again).

-To add to that...the graphics are just better in Snails.

-Snails has a better frame rate. There is no slowdown in Snails. Worms frustrated me when a wimpy 10 pixel explosion brought my 400 to it's knees.

There is probably more but I just wasn't impressed with Worms. If you are having serious issues then just buy both. If you do it now you'll only be out $20 (Worms = $11.95 (till Nov. 1) + Snails = $9.95). Use that 15% discount from handango (floating around here somewhere) and you're in even better shape!
