Whether you're a devoted fan of the Worms series or have never heard of it, Worms: Armageddon is sure to be an eyeopener. Action, intrigue, strategy, suspense, and fun - Worms: Armageddon has it all! Worms Armageddon is a thrilling turn-based strategy game that anyone could enjoy. Teams of up to eight worms do battle with an array of devastating and outlandish weapons ranging from banana bombs to a concrete donkey.
Create the battle as you see fit by customizing weapons and levels. Great multiplayer support gives you a number of ways to take on friends or play against computer opponents suited to your skill level.
Campaign and Deathmatch modes pit you in challenging contests against computer opponents. This game is a whole lot of strategy, a whole lot of hilarity, and just plain fun. Worms Armageddon brings with it the fun and exciting battles of previous Worms games.
Battle takes place between two or more teams of worms. Each team can have anywhere from worms. These teams can either be player controlled or computer controlled. Once you've created the teams for your battle, you'll be able to select a level to play, choose a randomly generated one, or even create your own. You'll also be able to change options for the battle such as how powerful weapons are, how much health each worm has, etc.
Once you've finished setting up the battle, the action begins. The worms on each team will be randomly placed throughout the level and your goal is to eliminate as many other worms as possible and be the last team standing. The biggest difference between Worms Armageddon and previous Worms games like Worms 2 are the additions of Campaign and Deathmatch modes.
These modes pit you against the computer in increasingly difficult challenges that will have you outnumbered and outgunned. These new modes require you to think hard and conserve resources to complete. An excellent improvement to the offering for solo play. One great feature of the game is the level of control and customization available.
When creating or editing teams you can choose not only the team name, but the names of individual worms as well. You can even change the accents of the voice that your worms use. Of course, the options aren't limited to cosmetic changes. You have a huge array of choices and options to make when it comes to weapons as well. You can change the ammunition of a weapon, the damage a weapon will deal, the size of the explosion a weapon generates, and even more.
You can change how much health the worms have, how long the game will last before sudden death starts, the length of each turn, and a number of other options that give you an unbelievable amount of control over the battles.
As a result of the ability to customize and control nearly every aspect of battle, the difficulty can be adjusted in any number of ways to suit your skill or needs. Additionally, the computer controlled teams can have their difficulty level adjusted higher or lower to provide the right challenge. You can challenge yourself with tough and drawn out conflicts, or relax in a quick and easy game as you blow away your opponents.
Unfortunately, you don't have this level of control or difficulty settings for Campaign mode. The training missions required to start the campaign can be very difficult and failure on any one requires you to redo all of them.

Do you recommend it?
Worms Armageddon for Windows. Worms Armageddon for PC. The presentation is very similar to what we had with Worms 2, but I do feel that things are a bit sharper all around here. The Worms themselves have a bit more detail and they have as much personality as always. This is made even more so when you customize them the way you want, especially with the way they talk. The backgrounds and levels are nice and bright for the most part and have a kind of cartoon effect to them that I liked.
While I liked the amusing voice samples that Worms Armageddon offers, the music did start to get on my nerves after a while. I really like how packed with game modes this is.
You have a single-player campaign where you have to take on various missions. These usually have some kind of predetermined game mode or health situation for you to deal with.
If you really fancy yourself as a great player, you can take on the Deathmatch mode which pits you against wave after wave of Worm armies! You also have a tutorial which is great for showing you how to use some of the fun new weapons as well as giving you a better understanding of how the game works. For those new to the series, I highly recommend that you do this as it teaches you how to play, but it does it in a fun and amusing way.
You also have multiplayer! I cannot tell you how many hours I wasted during my college years playing this with my buddies the PlayStation 1 version. It is the kind of multiplayer game where you are always having fun, even if you are on a massive losing streak it is impossible not to have a good time playing this.
As you can tell, I love Worms Armageddon! I love the series in general, but I would probably rank this game at the very top or at least number 2. It is very, very well made, and while it does require you to think about what you are doing.
I love the fact that the developers never lost sight of the fun factor. It just oozes personality and even those that normally do not like strategy style games will enjoy this. Like the majority of her infuriatingly sensible sex, my girlfriend isn't into games. Nevertheless, every now and again she stumbles across one she likes For some inexplicable reason, she once became helplessly enchanted with Toe Jam And Earl on the Megadrive, and would force me to play it with her, from start to finish, for days on end, wailing like a wounded dog whenever I tried to get up and go for a piss or something.
Until Worms Armageddon turned up, that is. Getting this review written has proven difficult because she just won't stop playing the damn thing. I've had to wait till she's asleep, and if I type too loud she'll probably get up and demand another go. It's like living with a drug addict or something. If you're not familiar with the Worms phenomenon, it's a deceptively simple game in which two or more teams of cute cartoon maggots fire weapons at each other in an attempt to wipe out the opposing team.
It's turn-based; that is, first you take a shot at one of your girlfriend's worms, then one of hers takes a shot at one of yours. You can't move or shoot back during the other player's go, and this is one of the things that makes the game so tense and compelling. The other is the unpredictable nature of the armoury you're given: bazooka shells which get buffeted by the wind, grenades which ricochet in unforeseen ways, and downright ridiculous weapons such as exploding old ladies and flying sheep.
Murphy's Law comes to the fore time and time again during a round of Worms, with a fair proportion of the fatalities occurring by accident hey - just like a real war. To a sniffy ponce it might look like a 'little game', but it's a damn sight more impressive than most of the blockbusters out there.
In fact it's hard to convey just how intrinsically satisfying it is to play - it's as moreish as popping your way through a huge sheet of bubble wrap. Successfully scoring a direct hit at long range delivers a short jolt of pleasure on a par with that which accompanies a really good punchline. Playing against an eager companion, you'll find you just don't want to stop, and if they aren't around there's always single-player missions, CPU opponents or the Internet.
You can say goodbye to your social life, basically. What else? Well, if you've already got Worms 2 you might want to 'try before you buy'. The addition of WormNet the online play system is a big plus, but otherwise many of the changes in Worms Armageddon are cosmetic it does look a lot nicer, mind. If you've never played a Worms game before, or you've only tried the first one, you don't have anything to lose.
And before we go, a quick note about Worms Armageddorts superb visuals: this is one of the coolest looking games ever. The design is ingenious, the animation dazzling.
The worms are fantastic - full of character and humour - and should really be starring in their own TV cartoon series. Team 17's graphics department deserve a gigantic sack of awards.
Actually, make that two sacks. Each one twice the size of Mount Kilimanjaro. One of the many things the game enables you to tinker with is the landscape itself - you can ask the computer to randomly generate one to your specifications, or pick up your mouse and design it yourself.
If you're poncy enough to have a graphics tablet, so much the better; you can draw a forest of great big penlses and then laugh yourself III as the worms hop all over them. If you're that childish, that is. Worms Armageddon enables you to customise your team In all kinds of inconsequential but amusing ways. You can choose a name for each worm, for example, leading to endless hilarity as Posh Spice lobs a grenade at Dale Winton and Big Balls unloads a shotgun into Wet Arse's face.
The worms natter continually throughout each round, and their standard chirpy English voices can be replaced by different languages and dialects. There are cockney wide boys, grim Yorkshlremen, US sports commentators, worms who speak in German, Dutch, French, and so on. Fair enough.
