Worms: Open Warfare

A genius concept thanks to exploding sheep, homing missiles, air strikes and Street Fighter special moves. [Issue 19, p.116]

Perfect multiplayer customisation. [May 2007, p.94]

You’ll enjoy playing the game, but you won’t be able to stop wondering what the game could have been without the 50 MB limit.

It’s a shame that some of the backgrounds and voice packs seem to have been limited for that trademarked MSP exploitation later on, but even in its most basic form, Worms is still highly recommended.

Worms may lack all of the bells and whistles that purists have come to expect, but the core game (especially when played online) still holds up – and that counts for a lot.

If you don't already own a version, or have done in the past but got rid if it, then Worms on XBLA is well worth a punt for the price. To get the most out of it though, Worms is best enjoyed with mates over Live.

But for a few missing weapons, then (sorry - a few dozen missing weapons), this is as close to the series' peak as we've been since the days when the novelty hadn't worn off on the PC, and given the right company you'll find it quite approachable, with simple controls and the usual potential for comedy failure.

Es un clásico, reeditado en HD que no falla y simplifica tiempos de carga a la par que corrige errores de físicas. No esperes gran cosa y saldrás contento.
