4.0 out of 5 stars A divergent yet entertaining take on Worms, March 28, 2005

This review is from: Worms Forts Under Siege (Video Game)

First thing I noticed while playing this game was that the designers seemed to be responding to half the complaints that generally arise amongst avid players of Worms. That said, there are generally two ways of playing previous Worms games. You had those players who went all out to FIND someone and beat them. These are the people who mastered the ninja rope. Then you have the defense oriented players. They would dig a hole and put some girders up and relied heavily on grenades. It seems that complaints about Ninja Rope masters have been heeded for this version of Worms. No more cheesy baseball bat homerun kills (drat!) and hardly any water kills.

So first off, this game has NO ninja rope.. (among quite a few other favorite weapons) so it becomes A LOT more about positioning and fortifications (duh!). With Worms3D, people expected the same old Worms with a 3D twist.. and for the most part it delivered (with some glitches).. This game is NOT that. There is a huge aspect of strategy devoted to which buildings you build and how you build them. This is all on top of trying to blow the crud out of the other guy with some of the craziest weapons ever created. (A moose in a slingshot?)

For 20 bucks, it's definitely worth it. But be advised that there is now a more level playing field amongst your friends. That guy who loves the Ninja rope is going to declare this game is horrible until.. of course... he gets the hang of it.

Other changes that may be worth noting are a lack of destructible environments, no random landscape generator and the ability to control the old woman. This, along with the Chili Con Carnage.. are two items that come in quite handy.

As for 1st player.. you had better master grenade type throws because the computer can be quite merciless with their unerring Refrigerator bombs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Twists to old Worms? Correct., June 8, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Worms Forts Under Siege (Video Game)

The game has a slight twist from regular Worms games, the fact that basically all the weapons have been changed. No more Super Sheep, dynamite, heck, even the Concrete Donkey is not in this game. All of the weapons (parring the Air Strike, Fire Punch, Bazooka & Grenade) need to be fire rooftops, which I find highly annoying. This game is supposed to be in the past, but some old guy called the Supreme Being has granted them with future technologies (or so I think). Also, many brand-new weapons have been added.

Pros:

All-new weapons.
In 3-d.
Some good twists.
New headdresses.
New voices.
Some pretty cool new weapons.
You can build buildings in 'squares' to fire things from them, but some buildings have special
powers (aka. weapon crate spawning). However, the buildings with uneven roofs have the special powers.
You can build buildings without ending the turn.
Huge map areas.

Cons:

Many of the old Worms weapons have not been spotted.
Almost all Worms weapons need to be fired from rooftops.
Lack of destructible environments.
No terrain editor.
Very little maps at beginning (4 maps). (One of the main reasons I rated it a 4.)
Gets boring after a while.
Not much different styles of playing.
More unpredictable 'tall falls.'
When a building is destroyed that makes a gap between other buildings and the Stronghold, all the other buildings fall down. However, Fortpot can change it.
Buildings need to be constructed next to each other.
Highly annoying against the computer sometimes.

Now that you get what I'm saying, think about if you want to buy this game or not. If you want something new, Worms Forts is the way to go. If not, leave it alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Game for Friends or Family, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Worms Forts Under Siege (Video Game)

My family has owned Worms Forts for two or three years now, and we STILL love playing it. It's fun to do the campaign missions or play against one person or four. Since my siblings and I are mostly in college or live away from home, we only get to play altogether during the holidays, but we can never wait to get together and blow each other up. It's like building forts out of sheets and using sock bombs when we were younger! Sometimes attacks get personal, but it's so worth it for the fun we have slinging moose in trebuchets and unleashing rhinos on our foes. My only complaint would be fickle camera angles (which you can somewhat amend with the right joystick) and the needless length of time sudden death takes between turns--there should be an option to skip through it and just view the damage. Sudden death only occurs after a set time of game play, but there is no option to turn it off. My sisters and I have deemed Nuke the best sudden death event since it destroys evenly. Also if you're playing with three players, you might want to add an AI team because one of the players will inevitably end up in between the other two (AKA extremely vulnerable to attack!)

I would recommend this game to any family with numerous siblings who like to play video games or played forts as children, but it's a great game for anyone.
