luvmysoldier's Full Review: Worms: Armageddon for PlayStation 1
My husband and I purchased Worms Armageddon on a random trip to Toys R Us. We had some extra money to spend, and the game was relatively cheap ($20), so we decided to buy it. It was an impulse buy and definitely worth it!
We got home and popped the game into our game console. We named our teams and decided to play a two player game, me vs. him. Each team is composed of four worms. Each worm starts out with one hundred health points. The object of the game is to shoot/bomb/injure your opponent to the point where all of their health points are gone. There are many weapons from which to choose. A few examples are:
Banana Bomb When thrown, the banana bomb will explode (or split, if you prefer :P ) and send smaller banana bombs around the vicinity, blowing up anything in their path.
Earthquake The earthquake itself does not cause a loss of points, but the shaking ground can cause worms to be tossed into the water, resulting in their death. You have to be careful with this weapon, it's really easy to kill yourself on accident :)
Freeze Freezing allows you to freeze the worms on your team for one turn. Your worms are encased in ice blocks and cannot be injured.
Holy Hand Grenade The holy hand grenade is a powerful explosive that screams "Hallelujah" before exploding. Very destructive.
Homing Pigeon The homing pigeon is not totally reliable, but can be quite destructive if you manage to hit your target directly.
Ming Vase The ming vase sends china shards all around upon explosion. It isn't very powerful, but is fun to use.
Sheep Launcher The sheep launcher propels sheep (yes, the animal) bombs. When you are ready for the sheep to explode all you need to do is hit the X button and there will be a big explosion.
These are just a few of the many exciting weapons there are to use to play Worms Armageddon. This is a game of strategy and it may take several tries before you become a skilled player. But it is a great game nonetheless. I am not a fan of many video games but this is definitely one that my husband has a hard time prying me away from.
The only real con to this game is the graphics. They aren't exactly the greatest. The worms look more like little pink blobs than actual worms, but that isn't really a huge deal to me. The backdrops are pretty creative, and you can choose your own, which makes up for the less than average design quality of the worms.
I would definitely recommend Worms Armageddon to anyone who is looking for a unique, fun, strategy game.
