The silliest, sickest, and most entertaining game ever!

If this game is anything like its PC counterpart, Worms2, then it will be well worth having. It is a one or two player game in which crews of worms use weapons such as a "banana grenade", exploding sheep, mad cows, and, of course, the "Holy Hand Grenade" to annihilate each other. It sounds silly and it is, and it is also extremely funny and quite addictive. I can't wait for this version to debut!

Worms are a BLAST!

If you have never played the original "Worms" which has been out of print for awhile, then you missed out! You control a team of 4 worms and you must use your arsenal of weapons to destroy the other teams. The graphics won't blow you away, but that's not the idea of the game. Gameplay is! Play this game with friends for a wild time with banana bombs and exploding sheep. "Worms Armageddon" takes the best of the first game and added on more whacky features. It is the must have multiplayer game for the playstation.

Bad version of a great game

I have been a big fan of the Worms games for years; it is fun, entertaining, and in every way a fantastic game. We just got the Playstation version, thinking that it would be faster than our computer, and it is just HORRIBLE. The game play is basically the same with some bad changes: you can only have 4 worms per team (with the PC version you get up to 8) and you have to choose a sound scheme per game, not per team. The graphics are a major step down from the PC version: several key animations (like the fire explosions from oil cans, the clouds and stuff in the background) are just not there, and the graphics that are there are just pathetic. The graphical quality is so poor that it's almost funny. So by all means get the PC version -in fact, I can't reccomend it enough- but save your money and don't get the Playstation version, because it's just terrible. I am very, very disappointed.

Addictive Fun

OK, I have a number of playstation games and nothing compares to this. The day I bought Worms I spent 8 hours playing and only got up for a bowl of cereal. I've never done that with another video game - ever!

This is the most addictive, strategic, and entertaining Playstation game I've played. However, I have to admit that the first two hours were very frustrating for me. There is a steep learning curve in getting some of the weapons down and understanding what to use in given situations.

Anyway..........I can't think of another Playstation game where you money would be this well spent.

Every game is so different......it just doesn't get boring.

Awesome PC Game Becomes Sad, Disappointing Playstation Game

I just got the Playstation version of Worms: Armageddon. I have a Mac and was running it on VPC but it was just a bit of a hassle, but now I'm going to definitely put it back because the Playstation version is HORRIBLE! Hands down 100% disappointing. First of all, the graphics are reminiscent of the Atari 2600. You know from the PC version that they have already created fantastic graphics- why would they have to downgrade it so enormously? The flowing water at the bottom is a bunch of jagged rectangles fluxuating, the worms are basically smears and the text is cheap and inconsistent. You can only have 4 worms per team instead of 8, and you cant choose a speech mode for them, only an overall one. It is so monstrously disappointing that I'm going to return it immediately.

Terrible

This was one of the worst games i've ever seen.The computer version was perfect but the play station version is a wreck.The graphics are horrible, you can hardly see th worms at all.The gameplay is okay but the makers killed it by taking out all of the cool features.Do not buy this game for the playstation, if your going to buy it,buy it for the computer.

DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT buy this game! If you want to buy it for a system buy it for N64 or the PC. This PSX version is terrible. The worms are super tiny and are very hard to see, the graphics are like atari, you only get 4 players a team instead of the 8 which you get on N64 and PC. If you want to buy it don't blame me when you see how bad it is. The N64 version is madd awesome! You get so much more stuff. Well thats it... Peace Out!

Hours of mass worm-carnage fun....

I totally enjoy this game...I own the first one and that one was cool to, but nothing in comparison to this one. I like the fact that it's different every time you play it. With thousands of different landscapes to choose from, it's an ever changing battlefield of worm exploding fun. I don't like to play games where the levels are all the same every time you play it...and the weapons are pretty cool, and even sometimes hilarious. A must play, for anyone.

Only buy this if you don't have a PC

I would have given this one star, but if you don't own a PC, Dreamcast, or N64 and have never played a Worms game before, then this would be a lot of fun.

The worst part is choosing weapons. On the PC, choosing your weapon is a two-second process. On the PlayStation it takes between 10 and 20 seconds, because the pointer moves so erratically. Time is carnage.

Almost as frustrating is backflipping. That can be a 20-second process, too. On the PC, you press the button twice to backflip. On this game, it can take try after try.

Moving the view of the screen, finely adjusting your angle, and selecting the exact position for overhead weapons can take a long time as well.

All of these things are very annoying; however, if you have never played this game before you won't know what you are missing, and it will be a lot of fun.
