Worms: Open Warfare 2

Review by Skull_pro

"Beside the PC games, the Best worm Ever! And one of the Best game ever made on the DS!"

I've been a worm fan for a while now... about 4 years. I became addicted to the series when my friend llent me his Dreamcast with Worms Armaggedon. A while after I got my DS, I was almost going to buy the first Open Warfare. What kept me? Bad rating and Lack of Wifi capabilities. Last november 2007, me and my friend went to buy a game (One that would be online compatible so we can play together) We found the PSP version of this game. When we saw it was online compatible, we immediately bough it. And played a few online games with it. However, I sold the PSP version because I lack of a wireless router (I only have a Wi-Fi USB connector made by Nintendo.) And I bough the DS version. Like most of my other games rating I will rate each categories of this game separately.

Gameplay: 9/10

Almost flawless. Not as flawless as the the PC games, but awesome nontheless. I don't mind about not having as many weapon as the older games used to have, simply because they removed the weapons I didn't use before. (Glad they kept my favourite weapon, the Holy Hand Grenade, but they removed the funniest weapon, the Sheep Raid). Controls are very similar to the PC games, Only that the buttons replace the Keyboard and the Touch screen replace the Mouse.

Music: 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10

Lemme get this straight: this game (especially the PSP version due to it's better music quality) has among the best music ever made for any video games that doesn't use real music made by other people *points at the Grand Theft Auto series* The world War I Theme is awesome, so is the Space War theme. And the Pirate theme, which I beleive is the most popular music of the game is extremly addictive!!!!!!!! I'm listening to it the very moment I'm writing this review!

Graphics: 9/10

For a DS game, the Graphics are more than Decent. For a Worm game that is not 3D, the graphics are top-notch. Nothing more to say.

Online: 7/10

This is the only point that I dont really like. It's like if you played Mario Kart: You can only search for other people to play with, you can't like, select a game to join like in the PC. The PSP has MUCH better online capabilities than the DS plus, you can make clans in-games =). And unlike most DS games, you can actually become friend with someone you meet in a random match =).


Overall: 10/10

This game is among the Best DS/PSP games I played in a while. If you wanna fight againts me, just E-mail me! Baka_pink@hotmail.com
