I love this game! It's easy to learn but hard to master ! Customizing your own team of players makes it feel personal. The multiplayer play is great! Funny! Original! Simple (and yet really complex!) Play a quick game or go for a series of wins. Don't let the cute worms fool you! This is a great game!

Prepare to get hooked...

This game is so much fun! Getting the hang of the game is easy, but to be good at it takes much more time. The characters are hilarious, the backrounds colorful and fun. I really recommend this game. It is fun to set up your own team for your own liking, and play either against a friend, the computer, or on the internet. Go buy a copy!

It's Worth It

This is an excellent game. I bought this after I had bought Worms 2 and I was a bit dissapointed with it. The added weapons are a blast and the added single-player training and missions are good. I only had a problem with the new roping method(it goes much slower than Worms 2) and the lessened options menu. Worms 2 was a hard game to top and I think that Team 17 felt they had to change some stuff around to make it feel like a sequel. This is too bad. Worms 2 had an almost perfect design and I suggest buying that before you buy this one. This is still a good game.

Nothing compared to Worms 2

This game is not as fun as its predecessor, Worms 2. I thought the user interface was too childlike and the gameplay didn't feel right (The Wep. and Opt. schemes are less editable). I highly recommend Worms 2 over this game.

Best Multi-player there is...

This is one of only two games I can come back to again and again. Single-player is decent, but Worms is all about multi-player. It's turn-based, so you end up doing a lot of "switching chairs" with your friends while playing, but it means you can play 3 on 3, 4 on 4 [you're limited to total worms, not players; i.e., 10 on 10]

Well, the only way to equate the hours of laffs to be had -- I mean, the real fun comes in creatively dispatching a rival team OR from screwing up repeatedly -- is to give you an example:

This is a typical turn. Drop a holy hand grenade [the makers are British, yes, it's taken from Holy Grail fame] on your bestest buddy's worm. Huge explosion. Hit the "R" button for instant replay, then "S" for slow-motion, and laff as your pal's cartoon worm does his best slowwwwww-voiced Exorcist impession, then flies into a mine, then off the edge of a cliff into the drink, taking 2 other cute lil' worms with him. Problem is, those other 2 were on YOUR TEAM, not his! [So you just wasted 2 of your worms and one of his. D'OH!] To add to the hilarity, you can customize what the worms will say [using simple .wav's] as they're being hammered.

Totally addicting and worth every penny.

As far as Worms 2 vs. Worms 3, they're almost the same, buy either one. Armageddon has more options and is "harder" to play [i.e., Worms 2 let you get away with more "cheap" stuff].

A great game, except...

This is a really cool game, except for the weapon editor. Worms 2 weapon editor was cool, you practilly made your own weapons. Also, I went to the officail site and it said that this is the last worms game. Since its the last, they shouldn't have made it easier. All in all, I think this is a great game to get if you've also played Worms 2.

Ultimate Party Game

This game is a terrific investment. Because the whole point of the game is to play with other people, it doesn't get old. What makes Worms so great is that it can be played "hotseat", that is on one computer. I've introduced many of my friends to this game. Once they've made it past the cute exterior, they're hooked. This game is incredibly approachable and addicting. I've probably played well over a thousand games of it. This is one game that is fun to play, not just win.

I'd like to respond to two criticisms of this game:

1. The interface is too simple. It doesn't allow much customization.

The interface is designed to get you into a game as soon as possible. If you just want to have some fun games with your friends, there are more than enough custom settings. In fact, some of my friends complain about all of the settings that I play around with.

2. The rope is down-graded.

This is a pretty specific complaint. What I've seen in most of the changes from Worms2 to Worms:Armageddon is that the game has put new players on a more level playing field with veterans. The ability to handicap players is obvious. Reducing the utility of the rope, however, makes the game a better test of strategy rather than dexterity.

I beg you, if you want to have a good time with your friends on the computer, buy Worms. You have the immediate face-to-face interaction as well as a rediculously fun, simple, and deep computer game.

Worms Armageddon: The best worms games ever

I've been playing Worms since the original Worms game came out, they are great games. I really love this game though, it has so many improvements over Worms 2. Options for increased resolutions, inhanced single player support, and better Internet gaming! Some say it is less customizable but that can be easily remidied with a free program on the Internet. Don't pass this one by!

One of the Best Computer Games Ever!

When I first heard of the Worms series, I thought "What is so great?". It's like Scorch but focused towards kids. Well to my surprise, it is nothing like that. The gameplay is great, wanting you to come back for more. It's even better playing another opponent over the "WormNet". The music and voices are excellent too. There are some funny one-liners in this game. Do yourself a favor and buy this game! If you want to play over the WormNet, make sure you visit Team17's website for the necessary patch.
