Another worms release plagued by bugs and option failures

User Rating: 1.5 | Worms 2: Armageddon PS3
Its too bad these guys at TEAM17 just can't get it right. Me and two friends all downloaded this version for $14.99 in the PSN store on 6/18/12. We all were excited to try out new weapons, see new visuals, new options etc. and upgrade from the original Worms on PSN.

The fun and excitement was short lived when we found out there was a MAJOR BUG that prevents an online hosted match with your buddies from being any longer than '1 round' to victory.

Sure, the options can be set in the 'Manage Custom Game Modes' area of the game menu, but as soon as you go online, it defaults back to '1 round'.

Those who are familiar with worms know that.. at the VERY LEAST you want to play '2 rounds' to a game victory.

The worst part of this horrific FAIL is; after the last opposing worm dies, the PSN chat audio ends, so you lose communication with your friends!!! AND THEN, to play again, you have to create a brand new lobby room, re-invite your friends, and reselect a new landscape!! To play another 1 round match!

All three of us played this for about an hour before we realized it was a software bug and we weren't making a mistake. All three of us felt like we were cheated out of $15.

What makes matters worse is searching the web on the topic shows others reporting this DIRECTLY TO TEAM17.... back in 2008!!!! There are many similar complaints on the TEAM 17 forums but no reply from the staff.

Its too bad an alternate company cant come up with a very similar game, except do it correctly and kill off this 2nd rate software company for good.

Bottom Line: These WORMS are for the birds
