A great multiplayer game that's tons better than the last one

User Rating: 7.5 | Worms: Open Warfare 2 DS
By Kenny789 | Review Date:
Worms Open Warfare 2 is the sequel to the disappointing Worms Open Warfare but thank goodness, the sequel fixes all the problems that were in the last game and has more features too. Online play is a welcome edition which makes use of the Nintendo Wi-FI connection. Almost all games are lag free and very enjoyable. It also has SIngle Card play but it only works for one on one matches so you can't send it to 3 friends unlike the last one which is kinda disappointing but not that big of a deal. New weapons are present in the game such as the Lightning Strike and Bunker Buster and old weapons such as Banana Bombs and Holy Hand Grenades. In short, Open Warfare 2 is one of the best worms games and a great handheld title.

Graphics are much better than the last game which had dead awful visuals. Worms actually look like worms and the terrain looks really smooth. Weapons are also better looking than the last game but due to the small screen size of the DS, some weapons look blurred at times. Graphics are good but not great

Sound is really great. The background music is really good and the voices of the worms still sounds as good as before. The sound effects of the weapons are also very nice and I'm glad that the Holy Hand Grenade goes "Halelujah!" unlike the last game which didn't have any sounds coming out.

If you're a huge worms fan then this game is perfect for you. If your a fan of strategy games and wacky fun then I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with this but I'd suggest finding one thats cheap. Have a look in bargain bins and if you do find one, then get it. It's one of those games you'll be picking up every once in a while when you're bored, not a game you'll be spending lots of time on.

Overall, this game is for worms fans and strategy lovers but if you're not one of them then this game may not be for you. However, if you're interested try finding a cheap one instead of paying the full price. Also, make sure you have online available since multiplayer is this game's strongest point.

    It’s A Worm-Eat-Worm World Out There!

    By GeekyDad | Review Date: Sep 08, 2007 | DS

    Hope you didn’t come for the story, because Worms games have never been big on that. However, there are some little text snippets, as well as high-quality FMVs, sprinkled throughout the single-player campaigns. But Worms... Read Full Review
