Take a team of heavily armed worms and obliterate any other worm that isn't yours. Sounds simple, right? Well, you'd never be more wrong. Worms plays out like an old game called Scorched Earth. In that game, both you and your opponent had tanks. With them, you would exchange shots with each other until someone was hit. The catch is that wind and gravity always affected your shots so you had to aim and shoot accordingly.
This holds true for Worms 2 also. The beauty of Worms 2 is that each worm under your command can employ many tools and weapons for maximum destruction. Are you stuck somewhere? Beam out. Are you right on top of someone?
Leave a stick of dynamite on their heads. Want to take out that worm from across the screen? Use a guided missile or airdrop a rain of death upon him. The strategic and tactical options are limitless. If you merely looked at the graphics, you might think this game to be in the vein of lemmings but, again, would be wrong. While the cartoon-like graphics are quite cute and the results of death and destruction hilarious, it's all shown with a tongue-in-cheek style.
If the graphics weren't enough, the sound will blow you away. The worms are very vocal and they won't hold back a single thought. Usually these comments range from unintelligible to hilarious, usually the latter. There are a range of sound banks for your use ranging from Americans to Scots and more may be added with the sound bank editor, a feature that offers a lot of customization.
Actually, overall, the game provides the chance for a huge amount of customization. The terrain, weapon effects, sound banks and many other options are completely adjustable. This allows for not only infinite replay value but scads of variations as well -- a very nice touch. This game is not bad in single-player but it's multi-player where the game shines. I've not played it over a network but Worms 2 and it's semi-sequel, Worms Armageddon is one of the best games to play with other people at the same computer -- hands down, bar none.
The look on a friend's face when you skip their Worm across the water to a watery grave is hilarious and nothing compares to the camaraderie of a multi-player worm deathmatch.
Overall, Worms 2 is definitely worth your gaming dollar. A sequel to Worms 2, Worms Armageddon expands upon its predecessor by enhancing a few facets of gameplay and including play over the Internet through Team17's WormNET service. Multiple new weapons have been added, as well as new singleplayer missions, challenges, and sound banks. Like the previous Worms installments, the game is an artillery variant. The player give an artillery piece a shot angle and shot power, and try to hit the opponent, taking into account wind effects.
The player and the opponent exchange these shots in a turn-based fashion. The game puts the player in command of a team of up to eight worms, which can move around the landscape one at a time , using many types of weapons to try to dispatch the enemy, from bazookas to mini-guns to exploding sheep.
In some situations, the worms can also jump, swing by rope, and descend with a parachute. The game includes an expansive editor that allows players to customize nearly every aspect of the game. Custom teams can be created, and players are able to edit their special weapons, grave markers, flags, victory fanfares, and voice sets, which can be imported into the game from outer sources.
But so as not to end on a bad note, Worms 2 is definitely a stable and, for the most part, bug-free game, that offers many, many hours of varied, humorous and frighteningly fun gameplay. It has a very wide appeal, all the addictive nature of the original game, and once you have an Internet game initiated, it's fast and smooth.
It's also probably one of the most enjoyable games that lets you gather four or even six people around a PC and each takes turns at blasting the hell out of one another. Download the demo, and you'll be hooked - this game definitely deserves to succeed. Screenshots from MobyGames. Spejson -1 point. Worm 0 point. Jokera 0 point.

Browse By Buy Game GOG. What's New The basic concept behind the gameplay of Worms 2 has pretty much remained completely stationary in the time between its and the original's release.
Presentation The graphics of Worms 2 aren't going to stun your friends, but then on the other hand, they are probably the best you could possible achieve for a game like this. Weapons Weapons are, without a doubt, the key highlight of both Worms games, and this sequel not only features the favorites from the original, but a huge variety of new ones, not to mention some fantastically outrageous 'secret' weapons that pop up from time to time or you can activate them with a cheat code.
Those without automatic guidance require precision aiming and power selection. The Bazooka's probably the Wormer's most popular basic weapon. Grenade, Cluster Bomb, Banana Bomb, Homing Cluster : Grenade weapons, suitable for lobbing, unaffected by wind, great to get through small areas. The Banana Bomb's an hilarious addition from the original Worms , which acts as a super powerful cluster bomb.
Shotgun, Handgun, Uzi, Minigun : These are the 'up close and personal' weapons. When you don't have much room to maneuver and the explosive weapons could potentially damage your own worm, there's nothing like pumping an enemy full of lead! Dynamite, Mine, Sheep, Super Sheep : The Dynamite and Mine are the ideal "plant and run" devices, so as long as you have an escape route planned, they'll usually do optimum damage.
The Sheep is a 'running' dynamite that can be detonated on command, while the Super Sheep dons a Superman cape and can be piloted to an enemy worm! For when the worm at your control has absolutely no way of getting close to an enemy, radio for reinforcements and watch your plane drop some destruction from the skies. The mail strike's nice pun! The Holy Hand Grenade, for example, provides over double the explosive force and damage than a regular grenade the quick choir chorus chanting "Halleluia!
The Mad Cows advantage are they can be released in herds, while the Old Woman can be sent on her mumbling, moaning way without having to worry she'll unreliably jump everywhere.
Blow Torch, Pneumatic Drill Girders, Baseball Bat : With the exception of the baseball bat, these are construction tools which allow your Worms to dig through scenery as well as place girders to help them traverse the landscape.
The BB is a very powerful 'punch' that'll usually send all but the most well-protected worm into the water. Ninja Rope, Bungee Parachute, Teleport : Perhaps the most important tools for the experienced wormer, these allow navigation around the playing area to better place your worm either for an attack or to protect him from enemies.
Modes of Play Worms 2 is really not at its best in single player mode. Final Words The beauty of Worms 2 as with the original is that its appeal is not just limited to hardcore gamers, but to pretty much anybody. Review By GamesDomain. Captures and Snapshots Windows. See older comments 5.
