Charming visuals, genuinely funny, easy to pick up, hard to master. One of the best worms games ever!
I've always loved the worms games. From the memorable anthem, the few well made, truly funny cut-scenes, the crazy weapons and.. well... the fact that they're worms. And this is the definitive worms game.
If you've never played worms before, you basically create a team of worms (you can customise their names, voices, colour and clothing) and they are scattered randomly across a 2D map and you have to reduce the other teams health to zero. To do this you have a number of weapons a abilities. Some of the weapons include the usual bazooka, shotgun etc and then move onto sheep, a flying sheep, a concrete donkey, banana bombs, holy hand grenades and even a kamikaze... the list goes on. To get around the environments there are a number of tools such as blowtorches and drills. There is also a Ninja Rope, a Jetpack and a number of other handy items. The game is quite tactical, you must take wind into account when shooting and you have to be very skilful to score direct hits. And you'll need to think one or two steps ahead to win.
The game is very charming, has a long campaign and extra puzzle levels where you have limited tools to defeat an enemy or have to get from A to B in a really unorthodox way (like sitting on a cylinder of fuel and use a bazooka to blow it up... that'll send you flying). You can play online, both ad-hoc and infrastructure. The cut-scenes between each setting during the campaign are genuinely funny and had me actually laughing.
It's a great title, perfect for handheld play or for lengthier session and it's perfect for all ages. No matter what age you are you'll probably enjoy this game.
