The belligerent invertebrates of Worms 2: Armageddon are ready to declare open hostilities today on PSN. Launching when the Tuesday service update goes live, the full 1080p title features a single-player campaign, along with online and couch multiplayer support. The opportunity to toss the Holy Hand Grenade across the PlayStation Network will cost $15.
The PSN version of Worms 2: Armageddon will also offer 27 Trophies to collect and Sony-specific hats for the little warriors. Unlockable helmets include: Sackboy-, Motorstorm-, Lemmings-, Buzz- and Helghast-themed variants. With all those Worms on the field wearing Helghast masks, we guess it'll be *puts on glasses* ... a Killzone. Yeeeaaahhhhhhhh.
Worms games are a lot of fun until you get in a multiplayer game with that guy who can do anything he wants with the ninja rope. Somehow I could never get that damn rope to do what I wanted it to. :(
Yeah, I've always felt that playing with someone who's mastered the rope more or less breaks the core gameplay, considering it practically acts as a teleport that doesn't end your turn. I haven't let it get me down on the series yet though. I specifically always play Pro match types since they start you off with only 2 ropes, and number of swings is capped at 3.
@ObiAlKenobi It starts with them being worms. Then, it's worms with explosive sheep and carnage. Finally, it's you controlling worms with explosive sheep and carnage using an explosive sheep to cause carnage.
Why would they release Worms 2: Armaggedon when there's this all new Worms Reloaded, which was released less than a month ago, and it's supposed to have everything from Armaggedon + a bunch of new stuff?
It's kind of a jumbled mess to explain, but here goes:
Worms 2: Armageddon is the sequel to the XBLA game that was just called Worms--it's not a sequel to Worms Armageddon. Worms Reloaded is the PC version of W2:A, which has a handful of extras like new hats, etc., but also stuff like a map editor which is PC exclusive for obvious reasons. Though W2:A for PSN has its exclusive additions as well.
So in summary, W2:A and WR are essentially the same game, with the only exception being some platform exclusives. Though unless you're a console-exclusive gamer, Reloaded is probably the best one to get, but not by too much.
Worms is one of my very favorite franchises. I have bought every version pretty much on day one, but I will have to wait for this one, as I will be busy for the next week or so with Reach.
If I have the other worms game that was released on PSN, is it worth getting this one as well?
