What makes the title so engrossing is just how simple the interface is and how easy it is to bring friends, be they gamers or not, into a game. Teams can spend from ten minutes to ten hours marching their worms around a 2D map and attempting to annihilate each other. The turn-based gameplay doesn't slow the feel down at all, and the action is always fast and hilarious. It's not often that a game comes along that's as simple as it is satisfying, but here's Worms 2 with proof that it can be done. Like the original Worms, this is a turn-based strategy game that has an arcade feel to it, but it's wickedly intuitive, funny, and challenging. It's nothing fancy; just some worms, some weapons, and a sense of humor mingled with a classic contest of kill-or-be-killed. But these aren't your everyday, garden-variety worms: These are animated Rambo-style worms whose antics bring tons of charm to this cutesy little game. As you begin each game your worms (up to eight on a team) are randomly placed on the landscape along with the opposing teams, and during your turn, you simply try to destroy the other teams' worms using a multitude of inventive weapons. Last worm standing wins--that's all there is to it. Though the concept is amazingly simple, Worms 2 is consistently challenging. Each worm begins with 100 hit points, and the goal is to wear each enemy worm down to zero, killing them before they can do the same to you. During each turn, you select a worm, equip him with the weapon you want him to use, then aim and fire--but don't take too long; the clock is ticking. Luckily, the controls are kept simple; just use the cursor keys to move your worm around the map and target your opponent, then hit the spacebar to blast away. The weapons range from a simple shotgun to full-blown air strikes and hilarious killers like the super banana bomb, holy hand grenade, and homing sheep. But it isn't just point-and shoot-mayhem. You'll have to carefully select which weapons you want to use and when. Many of the advanced weapons are strictly rationed (you may only get one of each), and if used improperly can do as much damage to your own worms as to others. Some of the new weapons are pretty wild. There's the super sheep, a steerable flying ewe of destruction; a mad cow stampede; and--one of my favorites--the old woman who ambles around the map complaining about the price of tea and mumbling about the good old days, then explodes. There's an almost child-like appeal in blowing up these worms. It's such a basic, simplistic game: no complex strategies, a single mission doesn't take more than ten minutes, and there's an infinite variety of maps. But, most importantly, Worms 2 delivers a hearty dose of good old-fashioned fun, and for that it comes heartily recommended. -- From DailyRadar.com -- DailyRadar.com Manufacturer's Description We're all Worms.
