Bad version of a great game

I have been a big fan of the Worms games for years; it is fun, entertaining, and in every way a fantastic game. We just got the Playstation version, thinking that it would be faster than our computer, and it is just HORRIBLE. The game play is basically the same with some bad changes: you can only have 4 worms per team (with the PC version you get up to 8) and you have to choose a sound scheme per game, not per team. The graphics are a major step down from the PC version: several key animations (like the fire explosions from oil cans, the clouds and stuff in the background) are just not there, and the graphics that are there are just pathetic. The graphical quality is so poor that it's almost funny. So by all means get the PC version -in fact, I can't reccomend it enough- but save your money and don't get the Playstation version, because it's just terrible. I am very, very disappointed.

Awesome PC Game Becomes Sad, Disappointing Playstation Game

I just got the Playstation version of Worms: Armageddon. I have a Mac and was running it on VPC but it was just a bit of a hassle, but now I'm going to definitely put it back because the Playstation version is HORRIBLE! Hands down 100% disappointing. First of all, the graphics are reminiscent of the Atari 2600. You know from the PC version that they have already created fantastic graphics- why would they have to downgrade it so enormously? The flowing water at the bottom is a bunch of jagged rectangles fluxuating, the worms are basically smears and the text is cheap and inconsistent. You can only have 4 worms per team instead of 8, and you cant choose a speech mode for them, only an overall one. It is so monstrously disappointing that I'm going to return it immediately.

Terrible

This was one of the worst games i've ever seen.The computer version was perfect but the play station version is a wreck.The graphics are horrible, you can hardly see th worms at all.The gameplay is okay but the makers killed it by taking out all of the cool features.Do not buy this game for the playstation, if your going to buy it,buy it for the computer.

Terrible!

DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT buy this game! If you want to buy it for a system buy it for N64 or the PC. This PSX version is terrible. The worms are super tiny and are very hard to see, the graphics are like atari, you only get 4 players a team instead of the 8 which you get on N64 and PC. If you want to buy it don't blame me when you see how bad it is. The N64 version is madd awesome! You get so much more stuff. Well thats it... Peace Out!

worm is not off the hook

I would have given this one star, but if you don't own a PC, Dreamcast, or N64 and have never played a Worms game before, then this would be a lot of fun.

The worst part is choosing weapons. On the PC, choosing your weapon is a two-second process. On the PlayStation it takes between 10 and 20 seconds, because the pointer moves so erratically. Time is carnage.

Almost as frustrating is backflipping. That can be a 20-second process, too. On the PC, you press the button twice to backflip. On this game, it can take try after try.

Moving the view of the screen, finely adjusting your angle, and selecting the exact position for overhead weapons can take a long time as well.

All of these things are very annoying; however, if you have never played this game before you won't know what you are missing, and it will be a lot of fun.

i love this !

Okay, I have never played this game before on N64 or PC, so I'm a "virgin" Worms player. With this in mind, this game rocks, especially when up against another human player. There is nothing quite like using a well aimed exploding sheep to blast your best mate's last worm into the drink, where it sinks like stone (because, as everyone knows, worms can't swim). The single player missions are not quite as good, but especially the further you get the more challenging they become. However, the often dead-eye accuracy of the AI shooting a bazooka into a howling gale and sconing your worm dead on the noggin tends to get a bit frustrating, especially when you try the same thing and blast yourself to oblivion. All in all, though, a great game, especially with company.

Hilarious Gameplay

I am not going to claim to be a fan of turn-based strategy games, or for that matter, real-time strategy games either. They've never appealed to me. But one day I read a review of this game in Electronic Gaming Monthly, and I got curious. A good friend of mine had recently purchased it on PC, and after playing it at his house I quicklsy saw what the folks at EGM were so excited about.
This game is just brilliant. It's a turn-based strategy game in which two, three or four teams of worms wage a war on eachother on an unlimited supply of randomly generated terrain, and annihilate eachother using a wide array of clever and unique weapons. The gameplay doesn't get much funnier than in this game.
The only reason I took a star off is that I feel this game loses some of it's appeal if you don't play it with at least one friend.

fun and addictive
