Ooo-oh! Those weapon wielding Worms are back, and unlike their less popular 3D titles of late, here on the NDS and PSP they are back where they belong; in 2D gameplay. Multiplayer was always the best way to enjoy the cult series, and here which ever system you have you can engage in wireless warfare with just one copy of the game between four players! With the DS's touch screen too, you can see a radar of the whole map down below, and of course quickly make your choice of weapons.

There's six landscapes to destruct, including London, Hawaii, a Jungle, an Iceberg, Hell and even Outer Space. Every level is randomly generated, but using a 10 digit code system you can save those you loved. As always there's plenty more to customize too, from the names and voices of your worms, to their gravestones, or one of five CPU controlled personalities. Beyond a quick match, regular game and multiplayer, challenge mode has you completing a series of tasks, which is great for newbies or those who want to hone their skills. With a unique sense of humor and clever mix of action and strategy, Worms is a classic that never gets old, and both the US and Euro editions will be in stock before the week is up.

Its good to see the game developers getting back to their roots. The 2D style games always had great appeal to me back then and they still do, so its good to see this.

i just hope it works with the umd emulator, if it does, ill buy it! im not upgradeing for anything. i liked both the 2d worms and the 3d games, camera problems aside. worms 3d wasnt the first game like it, Hogs Of War was a very rare title for playstation 1 and pc in like 1997, its still a pretty fun game, better than worms 3d IMHO.

Yes, Really polished 2D games like MegaMan, Lemmings, and now this work really well on the PSP. Won't be upgrading from 1.5 anytime soon so I really hope this works with the MPHGameLoader. If the UMD plays, great. If not and it has to be backed up to ISO, so be it.
