Can I just say...
Lets cut to the chase. Worms started in 1983 with the game called worms. Here on the screen was worm 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and they were blue and red and they both hated each other and as a result decided to kill one another to death. with basic wepons and basicer movement, the game quickly caught on and everyone loved it.
Then a few years later (1995) came a PC version which was pretty much the same and everyone loved it. Then came worms 2 which had a couple more weapons and graphics which were a bit more modern as well as a slight comic touch to it with the entry of the holy hand grenade (originaly from monty python and the holy grail). And everyone still loved it.
Then came armagedon, which was more of the same but it was on everything and had the dreaded weapon aramagedon, which killed pretty much everything. And everyone loved it.
Then came pinball and it sucked. And everyone hated it. Great.
So this game had to repair a slightly damged reputation because of the playstations stupid pinball game. And so once again it was released on everything and all the new weapons and even newer weapons and game modes were chucked in. And you know what? Everyone Loved it.
See team 17 were doing what they do best, 2D platformers with stupidly powerful weapons and mass death creating. What could be more fun? Well apart from nothing, nothing. See this game is both simple, fun and a pass time. But it is also an art. There is a certain art to worms which makes you either brilliant or amazing. If you can master this art, nothing can stop you. If you can't well then your buggered to be honest but the game is still fun anyway.
Ok from the top this game has team creating, level designing, weapon buying, mission doing, onlineing and fun as standard. It's special needs are a keyboard and a person and if your lucky, a mouse. It feattures 3 great graphic modes 640*480, 800*600 and 1024*768 which will kill itself every now and then.
The best thing about this game however is the mass killing and stupidness of it. They have for instance a concrete donkey decend from the skies and kill everything. They have sheep strkies which will send masses of sheep down to kill the enemy below to the theme of military music and it has a random dancer run around and blow up sending tamborines everywhere.
This is a game that will either absorb you quickly or grow on you as it did with me and then the only way out is to play play PLAY!
