Worms: Armageddon

The Good
This is a great, great game. A classic. The gameplay is ingenious in its simplicity. It's a turn-based strategy game in which you kill worms with various weapons in 2D. Sound fun? It is. On top of that the graphics are great. Very cartoony and vibrant. Also, the net play is a Godsend. It has a matching service included so you can just hop on and start the feeding frenzy. This is one of the best multiplayer games ever!

The Bad
Hmmm...sometimes I don't win. No, seriously, the worm's tiny voices can get old after the millionth game. Oh well, that's what the sound button is for. Also, the game is a little similar to Worms 2.

The Bottom Line
Probably the best net based, turn based strategy game ever made. While not a big step beyond Worms 2, it is better, and for a game this good that's all that matters.

The Good
I'm cringing while writing this - I LOVE the new features, including the new weapons, new utilities and the upgraded engine. Don't get me wrong, they are brilliant - but ...

The Bad
... MOST OF THEM ARE LOCKED AWAY UNTIL YOU COMPLETE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE SECTIONS OF THE GAME! Team17 have admitted that they locked a lot of features away in order to stop the interface cluttering - This I STRONGLY disagree with, as much of the ability to customize that was seen in Worms 2 is no longer present, and you have to be spoon-fed a lot of the features without any ability to edit them. This makes me rather annoyed, as I'm a Worms fan (not very good at the game though!) - I don't want to have to stick to Team17's preference to how I play the game!

The Bottom Line
In conclusion, it's a somewhat wasted game, as all of the nice features must be unlocked and this is pretty frustrating. Worms 2 with this games engine would be perfect - too bad it'll never happen.

The Good
An easy game to get into, and get the hang of, but hard to master. As a single player game, its very addictive, and the simple premise of killing round after round of worms surprisingly doesn't grow boring. The real fun starts though when you get a few friends around and have a few drinks.Its definitely better as a multiplayer game.

The Bad
Nothing really. To some, the levels may grow tedious, or the graphics may be too basic, but that doesn't bother me.

The Bottom Line
A good and simple multiplayer game for when the boys come over for a couple of drinks. Nothing spectacular in the graphics department or anything, and nothing ground-breakingly new over the previous Worms games, but still an awesome game that will give you plenty of hours of fun.
