Light up the midsummer sky as WORMS 2: ARMAGEDDON hits Xbox Live Arcade!

WORMS™ has been one of the most successful and consistent Xbox Live titles since it’s launch in March 2007 and now it’s back, bigger and better than ever for this stunning and feature packed new edition.

Worms 2: Armageddon builds upon the fine heritage of the cult 1999 hit ‘Worms Armageddon’ by massively extending the feature set of the original, award-winning WORMS and including the majority of the cult WORMS ARMAGEDDON feature set as well as a raft of exciting new weapons and game content, modes and extensions (many of which featured in the highly rated ‘Open Warfare 2’ editions)

Offering hundreds of hours of replay value, engaging single player campaign, tons of player customisation, laugh-out-loud multiplayer escapades and leaderboard challenges, Worms 2: Armageddon should prove even more popular than the original WORMS for Live Arcade!
Team17 listened hard to the fans response and have delivered in spades, with cult weapons returning, amazing new weapons, incredible customisation of Worms teams (including around 60 voice sets, hats and more), tons of game options, totally new physics & more dynamic play, persistent fire and much, much more.

I installed it back on PC a year or two ago and there were still people playing it online! Timeless classic, kinda tempted by an xbox 360 for the ease and multiplayer community.

Been waiting a few months for the release date and I am glad it's so damn close! Instead of a few months away :)

It's a definate day one purchase for me considering the hundreds of hours I spent with Worms Armageddon on the PS1.
 
I really like worms but I bought the first one and after playing it and getting all the achievements never touched it again. Yet on the PS1 I used to play it all the time.

I love the game but probably would end up doing the same again so will save the points.:D
 
800 points though is a very good price. I will probably break and cave in as soon as I see whose got it and playing it. Last time though not many people got it from here.
 
Just bought an extra 2100 points for tommorow :)

I thought I had 800 already, but I was 100 short :rolleyes: I can't complain since they came through instantly and were fairly priced. Unlike the ones I found on Ebay where they wanted £10 for 800 =/
