Worms Armageddon (PC)
Great Worming Fun

I first played this when I went to town into a gaming shop and came across this on the shelf. It was fairly old at the time but it cheap so I thought might as well give it ago. It looked good from the box, good pictures and good makers. It certainly had potential to be a great game. Got home and played it straight away. I was loving it. I went on the options and went on unlimited weapons and turned the cheat system on, so I could get a grip of the game. Such a good game to just play to beat boredom. I was so please I got it, as it wasn't planned and on any other day I might have missed this game in the shops.

This game is very popular and for any video gamer you would of heard of the series. I know a lot of people who have got this I they haven't been let down with the game. It is one of those addictive games and it is likely that if you have bought one in the series you will go on to buy the newest addition. Team 17 are the makers of this and never fail to produce the goods they have already made games such as Amiga Age which was such a good game at the time when I played it.

The aim of the game is you are a team of worms which you can make your own team name and names for each worm. There is a piece of land which all your worms and the opposing worms are on. The objective of the game to try and kill the other team worm. There are many ways you can kill them. There around 25 weapons for a start. So you can blast them to death, you could push them in the water (which will result in death) and you can go for a defence system at the same time so they can not get you. There are many defence systems one being the Digger. The digger digs underground for shelter from the opposing teams bombs and guns. Having one person defending is always a good option.

So its just a full on battle between two teams but there can be more. I would advise you if you have just started it to go on training mode first. There are a lot of aiming tasks to help you. You will need to do this first as you won't be very good in the real mission or battles with your friends. There are many missions to keep this game going for a long time. But it's all about the battles. You will get so much fun and laughs out of just one match.

Before you start the battles there are plenty of option to get a battle of your satisfaction. If you won't a long cold blooded battle you might want to make the starting HP (life) up to 200 as apposed to the standard 100. To all the weapons to start of with there will be a limit. But you can make the weapon count as many as want or unlimed. There are certain options like Sudden death which is after a certain amount of time all still surviving worms will all get the life of 1HP so it's a real race for the winners spot. One little prod from anything and the worm will die. You can also change the rate of how often the boxes fall from the air with special prizes in to win the battle. There are just so many things for you to do and play with. You will be having endless fun with your friends.

Worms Armageddon has a online feature now so your mates won't have to go to the bother of coming round they can just stay at home and still play each other. But you don't just have to play with your mates you can play with many people from several countries. You can make friends and make your team together sounds good doesn't it. This is possibly the best game ever to have online play on it. Just one of those perfect arcade video games which will never boar you. But the games come out regularly anyway. You might find network play a bit hard to start with but you shouldn't do it is all easy to use and pretty obvious.

For me this is my favourite worms. There are now worms which is 3-D instead of 2-D like this one. You might think that sounds good, well it probably is. But for me this is the best one. It is like sonic. The original 2-D one was so much better then that of the latest 3-D ones. Worms Armageddon was at its peak it wasn't going to get better than this. It loses its arcady effect when games turn 3-D unfortunately. But you can't blame the makers of the games because you have try and move on to bigger and better things.

I really love this game as I said my favourite weapon is the holy bomb as it gives off such a big explosion. Does so much that half the land blows up. Which result in ones falling in the sea and dying. It is quite funny as well because it you have the sound on you will hear the word 'Halleluiah' sung in a high pitched voice very quickly followed by the explosion. I would advise you to limit this weapon to around 3 at the most as they are just to good and will spoil the game.

So overall I would defiantly advise you to buy this as this still remains to be one of my best games on the PC obviously your not all going to like it so don't be surprise if you don't but for most gamers you should enjoy this extremely especially playing against your friends or on network play.

Buy this off www.amazon.co.uk

Summary: This is a good fun game worth a try
