Team 17's classic Worms series is set to return: in the forms of Worms: Open Warfare 2 for PSP and Nintendo DS. Following in the footsteps (or wriggle-tracks?) of its legendary predecessors, Worms: Open Warfare 2 brings back the classic 2D gameplay with all sorts of extra features, and squeezes it all onto your favourite handhelds.
The first point of note is the enhanced online multiplayer mode for both systems, meaning not just local multiplayer games, but fully international deathmatches, stats and leaderboards. And to spice up the uniquely compelling multiplayer mode even further, there's a whole host of new customisation options. This time round you can create your own custom landscapes; as well as team flags, modified hats, tombstones, victory dances and more...
On top of the classic deathmatch, there are also new single and multiplayer modes in the form of Rope Race, Forts, Puzzle and Campaign modes. There's even a new Firing Range to try your hand at the 11 new weapons: such as the Bunker Buster, Buffalo of Lies, Super Sheep, Concrete Donkey and Holy Hand Grenades!
The new levels take our warmongering worms across battlefields past and present, from the Spanish Armada conquest in "Pirates" to the laser punctuated skies of "Space War."
Worms fans are in for a real treat here; it's no wonder Official Nintendo Magazine has already said "its hard to imagine this being anything other than the greatest Worms games yet."
