I bought this game today, and after hours play, I'm glad to say that works surprisingly well. You shoot your weapon with B, jump with A, X reveals the equipment list, and by holding L or R you can scroll map with D-pad or stylus. By pressing start you can open map to the upper screen. Maybe I'm missing something, but I was surprised to notice that you can't scroll map with stylus on normal mode.This isn't real problem in my book, because controls have been given some serious thought, and mapped well to DS's layout.
AI is relatively good, but it does think in some rare cases for long time (around 10-15 seconds) before doing its move. It has been so long since I played Worms for last time, but I think that the AI is better than it was on Worms 2, and doesn't do blatantly stupid moves.
In addition of having quick play, game features local and online multiplayer, tutorials, puzzle mode, some minigames that I haven't tried yet, and campaign mode where you complete missions to gain credits. I don't really understand the idea behind having seperate puzzle and campaign mode, because both work practically in same way (i.e. you get progressively harder challenges).
What really surprised me was how much game gives you freedom to customize various things. You can create yourself new teams, draw banners, select your team's sound bank*, draw new battle maps using stylus, select what weapons will be used on match, save your settings into presets, and so on. Additional soundbanks, graphics and levels can be bought from the store with credits you have gained from the campaign mode. I haven't tried online yet, because DS doesn't want to work with my router.
My only gripes about the game so far are that some game's graphics are little fuzzy, and that it is sometimes little hard to read text. Furthermore, I don't really like idea of forcing the player to play campaign mode just to unlock stuff.
* There is around 15 sound banks, which mostly feature different languages. There is also few old fan favorites, like scottish accent.
