Nothing compared to Worms 2

This game is not as fun as its predecessor, Worms 2. I thought the user interface was too childlike and the gameplay didn't feel right (The Wep. and Opt. schemes are less editable). I highly recommend Worms 2 over this game.

Great Game - Beware XP Compatibility

As the other reviewers point out, this is an hillariously addicting little game. The game works find in the Windows 95/98/ME environment, but I've yet to get it to work in XP (I just use a dual boot system to play this game).

It's Worth It

This is an excellent game. I bought this after I had bought Worms 2 and I was a bit dissapointed with it. The added weapons are a blast and the added single-player training and missions are good. I only had a problem with the new roping method(it goes much slower than Worms 2) and the lessened options menu. Worms 2 was a hard game to top and I think that Team 17 felt they had to change some stuff around to make it feel like a sequel. This is too bad. Worms 2 had an almost perfect design and I suggest buying that before you buy this one. This is still a good game.

A great game, except...

This is a really cool game, except for the weapon editor. Worms 2 weapon editor was cool, you practilly made your own weapons. Also, I went to the officail site and it said that this is the last worms game. Since its the last, they shouldn't have made it easier. All in all, I think this is a great game to get if you've also played Worms 2.

One of the best games ever

This game is wonderful. It has some of the best graphics and the weapons are hularious. The only problem is that it cannot be minimized during gameplay. If another application does ANYTHING, then it minimizes itself and then closes. Because of that, AND THAT ONLY, it falls shy of 5 stars.

This game is a terrific investment. Because the whole point of the game is to play with other people, it doesn't get old. What makes Worms so great is that it can be played "hotseat", that is on one computer. I've introduced many of my friends to this game. Once they've made it past the cute exterior, they're hooked. This game is incredibly approachable and addicting. I've probably played well over a thousand games of it. This is one game that is fun to play, not just win.

I'd like to respond to two criticisms of this game:

1. The interface is too simple. It doesn't allow much customization.

The interface is designed to get you into a game as soon as possible. If you just want to have some fun games with your friends, there are more than enough custom settings. In fact, some of my friends complain about all of the settings that I play around with.

2. The rope is down-graded.

This is a pretty specific complaint. What I've seen in most of the changes from Worms2 to Worms:Armageddon is that the game has put new players on a more level playing field with veterans. The ability to handicap players is obvious. Reducing the utility of the rope, however, makes the game a better test of strategy rather than dexterity.

I beg you, if you want to have a good time with your friends on the computer, buy Worms. You have the immediate face-to-face interaction as well as a rediculously fun, simple, and deep computer game.

For those who want a fun and non-stressing game

Too many games are hyper button jittering stressful things. (kill kill kill - game over) This is not. With worms you can create teams, change options, and make your own ways to play the game as you go. Play with friends (with even odds) or by yourself, or over the net. This game is FULL OF HUMOR - it will keep you laughing throughout. The weapons are hilarious, and while you still "kill kill kill" these cute little worms, there really isn't the whole "I have to hurry or else." feel of other killing games. You'll laugh at your own demise and come back for more. (none of that sighing with relief when it's over) Only one warning - don't get offened by the British v/s American worms. The British honestly think we all sound like John Wayne, so all of the American worms sound like they belong in westerns. I've bought the original "Worms", "Worms 2" and now this one. They all keep me comeing back for more and are utterly charming.

Sleeper of the year!

I love this game! It's easy to learn but hard to master ! Customizing your own team of players makes it feel personal. The multiplayer play is great! Funny! Original! Simple (and yet really complex!) Play a quick game or go for a series of wins. Don't let the cute worms fool you! This is a great game!

Pure fun

The first time I played this game was on Nintendo 64 and I just loved it.Watching these little worms trying to kick each others butts was so funny and cool.I just got a Nintendo 64 and Worms Armageddon is one game I really need to buy.
