Worms DC: The Ultimate Party Game

The Good
Worms: The Director's Cut is the ultimate extension of the original Total Wormage idea. Stuffed chock-full of amazingly destructive weapons (the Ming Vase has to be seen to be believed, especially if you place it in a tunnel), in-jokes about the Concrete Donkey and the opportunity to blow up Jessica Fletcher. The graphics remain the same as the cutesy original (before the advent of the fat cartoon Worms of Worms: Armageddon) and there's a nearly infinite variation in levels.

The Bad
Occasionally the AI is far too intelligent, or far too dumb. There have been occasions when an AI worm has just walked off the edge of a cliff, or utilised a complex series of ricochets (accounting for gravity) to place a cluster bomb under your Worm's nuts...

The Bottom Line
There is simply no better game to play than Worms DC when drunk, and it's pretty fine sober... It's suitable for kids, adults, megalomaniacs, psychopaths and pyromaniacs alike (the last three usually ALSO being kids). Simply brilliant fun - and there hasn't been a game as much fun as this before or since.
