![]() ![]() The person who gets there in the quickest amount of time wins. ![]() You have to take turns using your Ninja Rope to get to the end and if you fall, it’s the other player’s turn. The only other difference between ranked and unranked or local is the Rope Racing mode, which can’t be played in a ranked lobby. Ranked modes are always two teams but unranked modes and local modes can be played with up to four teams. Other forts can be purchased from the shop, as mentioned, and it’s really up to you to work out which fort provides the best defence. Fort mode is very interesting, as you choose a fort for your team as you’re creating it, then you’ll have to fight – fort to fort – with the enemy team. Then there’s Pro mode, in which you have less time each turn and limited weapons, for people who enjoy playing Worms competitively. Standard mode is simply standard Worms gameplay. The best of these modes is the Crazy Crates, which is the standard Worms gameplay, but around four crates will drop between each turn, containing random weapons, tools, or just being a health pack. There’s several modes to play, with either ranked or unranked options. It’s a great alternative to the campaign, as the AI doesn’t make simple human errors, or take everything it can see into account (although it tries very well). The multiplayer brings the awesome gameplay of Worms to the online battlefield, or just to your room with some friends. Sadly, some of the weapons that you have to aim (such as the Homing Missile) are hard to get an accurate shot with, as the controls are very sensitive. This fires meteors and destroys everyone that isn’t right at the bottom of the level, so it can only be used when you feel the need to absolutely end the match, and it’s very rare to come across. The weapons themselves are fantastic, there’s the classic bazooka, grenade and shotgun the über powerful (and also hilarious) Holy Hand Grenade, Banana Bomb and Super Sheep then there’s Armageddon. You can buy new hats to customise your team and show off online, weapons such as the Holy Hand Grenade Concrete Donkey or the fabled Armageddon, different landscapes for fresh gameplay, forts for the Fort multiplayer mode and you’ll have to purchase the last five campaign levels to play them. Sadly, if you get stuck on any of the levels, there’s little variety in the way the enemy worms attack, as long as you’re sticking to the same tactics.Īfter completing a campaign level, you’ll be awarded with money which you can spend in the shop. There’s also levels where you have to race to the exit before the time runs out, using a Ninja Rope or a Jetpack. ![]() These need a good strategy, such as in the first one where you’re stuck to the spot and you actually have to use a mine to blast your worm to the exit. Puzzle levels are dotted around the campaign, in which you’ll have to get your worm to the exit point with limited weapons. You’ll encounter easy levels at first, where you’ve got much more health than the enemies but you’ll get to some extremely frustrating levels as you get closer to the end, where you’re outnumbered ten to one and you have to think tactically to defeat the opposing army of worms. The campaign is great there are 35 levels of mayhem to play through, which can be completed in a few hours, or it can end up taking several hours, depending on your skill level. Once you’ve assembled team of worms, you can either play through the campaign, some local multiplayer or jump online for a game or two but you’re probably better off playing the tutorial, unless you’re a Worms veteran. The voices are hilarious, with a great variety of voices to suit your teams’ needs. There’s tons of hats to choose from, some just plain funny and others that look simply awesome, such as the Helghast helmet or Sackboy head. The first thing that you’ll do when you start the game up is create your own team of worms, customising the team name, worms’ names, colours, hats, voices and even the fort that they’ll use in some modes. If you aren’t aware of what Worms actually is then… shame on you! It’s a turn-based game where you have to control a different member of your elite team of worms each turn, using the tools and weapons provided within the time limit to cause as much carnage at possible. This is still the same old Worms that we’re used to but it’s improved. Don’t be fooled by the fact that this is a downloadable title it’s the biggest Worms game yet. What could be more catastrophic than the ongoing battle between teams of Worms? The latest offering by Team17, Worms 2: Armageddon is now on PSN and it brings an array of modes, with a full campaign several multiplayer gametypes a shop with upgrades online leaderboards and hours of fun to be had. Armageddon: A decisive or catastrophic conflict. ![]()
