Review by Gruel

"The original multiplayer frenzy comes to Playstation!"

The game: Up to 4 teams for a total of 16 worms can battle on a certain terrain, and they use a variety of weapons to blast each other away.

Graphics: 4: Well, it's all in 2D and these graphics can be perfected on the Super Nintendo too(actually I think there is a SNES version of this game). Any ways, even though it's in 2D, it's good 2D!, all the little worms look great, and so do he variety of terrains, even though it's a lot on the simple side, but you do get some nice FMV's before battles, and replays of major attacks during battles.

Sound: 6: You got a great background music, that sounds great, and it was so good that it was used in the game's sequels, Worms 2, & Worms Armageddon. Your sound effects are pretty good with all the blasts and firing done nicely.

Gameplay: 8: You can have from 2 to 4 teams of 4 worms each battle on a terrain of your choice. You can create your own team and name all the members, and the game will keep track of all your stats for you on the memory card. There's a nice variety of weapons to use such as grenades and homing missles to blow up your opponents with.

Replay Value: 7: A total of 16 players can play this game with just 1 controller! This game is great multiplayer fun, and you'll be hooked on it good, the game does get a little boring if you're playing by yourself against the computer, but you'll have a blast going against your friends.

Overall: 6: This is the game that started it all, if you're looking for some multiplayer fun, then pick up this game, some say the original is still the best.
