Nothing like the smell of gunpowder in the air!

This light-hearted, war-simulator, strategy game deals with Worms packed to the brim with combat abilities and equipment from Dragon Punches (ala Street Fighter II) to Holy Hand Grenades (ala Monty Python and the Holy Grail).

This game allows the player to customize their own teams, from choosing team names and member names to even choosing the voices of the worms, from dialects, like Redneck, to foreign languages, like French. Unfortunately, the voice changes affect all team, and not just each one, but it's still fun to hear different voices whine or taunt.

Many of the missions in the game require time and patience, but the odds are in favor of the computer in this game. While you're struggling to try to aim your weapons precisely, the computer rarely ever has any problem trying to injure or kill you. This game is more fun to play with other players, for a grand total of four teams. There are a few missions that are extremely hard in this game, so remember to save your progress and reload your game often if you wish to get high medals in this game.

The options in the game vary from free play, which starts you right off to just kill the computer's worms, to training sessions with different weapons, customizable scenarios, and last, but not least, the missions. The missions often require you to do more than just kill the PC's worms, from retrieving specific items to just surviving the time limit, so that's where the strategy comes in the most.

The antics of the worms are humorous, but the graphics are very cartoonish, especially the backgrounds and landscapes in the game, which are usually destroyed as you play.

My main problem I had though, is the instruction booklet was vague on the abilities and directions of many weapons, so it took a lot of time to figure out how to utilize them most effectively.

The music is very simple, and after a while it just get's annoying, because it's so repetitive. There were times the game would freeze momentarily as the Dreamcast would load up the next soundtrack, so I found myself just turning off the music instead, replacing it with my own music from a stereo.

It can provide a lot of fun, especially for the younger demographic who isn't looking for any serious storyline! I primarily used it as a party game for friends, since the ability to allow four players to play, while others can be entertained by the antics is quite appealing.

Worms Armageddon = A Romp In Gaming Heaven

Have you ever played a game that keeps you coming back for more? A game that is humorous? A game that is filled with weapons? A game that, by some unfortunate event, is incredibly deep?

Have you ever played a game that involves worms at war?

That's what Worms Armageddon is. The sequel to Worms and Worms 2 and prequel to Worms World Party, the third installment is my favorite. Let me give a quick run-through.

The game is all about worms using weapons to screw each other over.

Simple enough for you there, Mister Game-Hating Politician?

The main objective is to strategically place your little dirt lovers around the battlefield, all in hopes that this location will cause the enemy to snuff it. Anyway, on to the standings.

Graphics-wise, this game is marvelous. The game is almost entirely 2D. The only 3D part is the little cinematic at the beginning. The 2D styling gives WA a retro feeling. Kudos to MicroProse. 5 out of 5.

Funny voices and war music (kinda) makes for an awesome and hilarious soundtrack. 5 out of 5.

Replay? It'll keep you coming back for more. 5 out of 5.

Buy Worms and blow up the little no-pods.

Fun Fun Fun till you die

This game cracks me up every time I play it! I love it. The game play is good but lack of modes is a turn off. But the few that are there are great. Sometimes game can be frustrating. Double teaming and your player doing stupid stuff is common. All in all I recomend buying it.

This Game Rules!

I have been hooked on this game for about 2 or 3 years now-ever since I first played it. It is very fun and takes a long time to beat everything. I recommend this game to everyone. It is a blast, though old women might not like it. Be sure you don't get skunked while playing it.

The Best Game

This game is one of the best I have played,the graphics are awesome the weapons are sweet and even the worms themselves are halarious. But, the only reason I did not give this game 5 stars is because it is so H-H HARD!!!! This game can get very frustrating most of the time. (If your'e a hacker don't bother going onto the internet for cheats because there aren't any). This game is very tricky and you lose a lot and losing frequently and 20-second loading periods don't mix.

This game is basically a re-hash of "scorched earth", it being a remake of "artillery".

That said this is the BEST version to date, if you EVER played scorch/artillery, you are gonna LOVE this game!!

THIS GAME IS SWEET

This game is awesome. The action the hysterics in this game make you want to play it over and over again.

First of all, I wish they had thought of this idea years ago. Secondly, its almost more fun than throwing actual worms at your sibling. Some of the voices and the names will make you laugh. This is a MUST BUY for Dreamcast users

super sweet
