But at 70%, would they want it? The story of Worms, at least originally, is pretty interesting.
If
memory serves, nobody would publish it, so
the developer sent it in to a competition at the late lamented "Amiga Format", won, got picked up by Team 17, and got
published. The rest is proverbial.
The first "Worms" was good. The second "Worms" better still. "Worms Armageddon" was a riot. Since then it's gone a bit
awry, and now we have "Worms Forts: Under Siege". It's 3D. Yes, because 3D makes everything better. Unsurprising to
some, the game hasn't transitioned that well. I seem to recall an earlier 3D effort, but I tuned out after "Armageddon"
to be honest. Though I still hum the theme song.
The early bird gets the "Worms"

This game do not deserver a 70% but a 50. It's REALLY slow and worst of it, a LOT of people have a problem to play it online.. In fact all the people i asked have the same problem "Network problem". We tried everything with firewalls and etc... And still no patch or even explanations from Team17!.. Think twice before buying this game.

I didn't forget "World Party", I just didn't mention it. I seem to recall trying it once and thinking "This is just Armageddon pretty much" and giving up.
