Okay this game is insane and you need it
So my friend Dave gave me a copy of this last week and I have not stopped playing it. Like I’m serious. I stayed up until 3am just doing the training missions because I kept messing up the ninja rope and I REFUSE to let a rope beat me.
Okay so you have worms. Little worms with names. Mine are all named after wrestlers right now because I thought that was funny. You drop them on a map and you have to kill the other team’s worms before they kill yours. Sounds simple right. It is NOT simple. There’s wind. The terrain blows up and changes. You have like 50 different weapons and some of them I still don’t even know what they do. I accidentally used something called a Concrete Donkey yesterday and I don’t want to talk about what happened to Dave’s worms.
The weapons are so dumb and I love it. There’s a sheep that walks into people and explodes. There’s a banana bomb that splits into smaller bombs. There’s the Holy Hand Grenade and it plays the Monty Python sound and I lost it the first time we heard it.
We’ve been doing hot seat on my CRT and it is the best thing. You HAVE to play this with someone in the room. It doesn’t even matter if they’re good at games. My friend Benjamin beat me twice yesterday and I don’t want to talk about that either.
Single player is fine as well. There’s missions and training and stuff. I’ve been doing it to practice a lot, because everyone is getting really good with the bazooka and I need to step up. But honestly the second you have someone to play against hot seat this game becomes like a different thing entirely.
This runs fine on my Pentium II. Looks great on my monitor. The sound is hilarious, the worms react to everything with little voice clips and there’s different voice packs you can put on them. I gave my team the “Angry Scots” voice and now I can’t turn it off.
I don’t really have anything bad to say. Maybe that playing alone gets old faster? But why would you play alone when this exists. Get someone over and have some fun.
