2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, April 19, 2001

By 

Inda (South West, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Worms World Party (CD-ROM)

If you already own previous versions of the Worms series then you will be very disappointed with this latest reincarnation.

Apart from the many bug fixes there is nothing extra to justify the price. Contrary to popular belief, there are no new weapons and the WormPot mode is very similar to the cheat options from Worms Armageddon. The new front-end graphics are tailored for a younger audience with the exact same layout as Worms Armageddon too. Worms World Party also lacks league play and a world ranking system that made Worms Armageddon so popular. There is no mission editor as of yet, Team17 have made this as an extra download as they did with The Fiddler for Worms Armageddon.

Worms World party is a good game if you do not have Worms 2 or Worms Armageddon only because of the fact that Worms is a fantastic game in it's own right. Give this game a miss if you expect new features from a sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but Flawed, January 13, 2002

This review is from: Worms World Party (CD-ROM)

The Worms series of games has a dedicated following,
and for good reason. It's just darn cute,clever and
very fun to play, particularly over LAN with other
Worm fans.

Warning!
The US release has a very serious problem that stops
the game from even loading. That can be very disapointing
after waiting a week for the game, tearing of the
shrink wrap, installing and then, CRASH! "Illegal Operation".
Fortunately, there is a patch available from the developer's
Web Page that fixes the problem. Still, this sort of thing
should never happen. My experiance with these sorts of situations
is that a couple of years from now I'll go to reinstall the game
and the patch will no longer be available on the shifting
sands of the Internet. So if you buy Worms World Party in the
US, download the patch and burn it onto a CD for safe keeping.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Strategy Game, June 11, 2001

By 

Shmew (Sandy, UT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Worms World Party (CD-ROM)

Although no new weapons from Worms Armageddon, it is a a great improvement. All weapons are at your fingertips from the start. There are 20 multiplayer missions, on or off-line which are an absolute blast. You now have a mode of play for "Fort Games" which makes it a whole lot easier to play forts. Multiplayer games with the "Wormspot" is excellent, with options from "Super Rope Mode" to "David and Goliath" you can mix and mach to create more modes of play then you ever thought imaginable. Training is very challenging, even to a seasoned wormer. There are more missions and they are more challenging then ever. WormNet, as always still has problems, but seems to be going well. The worst part is they still have not restarted the rankings on WormNet. All in all it is a great game and very well put together.
