Mum never liked creepy crawlies. She'd complain about their effect on the roses.
She was keen on worms, though. Nature's good guys, they aerate the soil and break down rotting plants.But on that basis, we can only assume Team 17 – creator of the long-running Worms series – has never really gone in for herbaceous borders. Its take on the gardener's friend sees the little critters wielding Uzis and bazookas, as they take turns to fight through a war of never-ending cartoon capers.And it's this orgy of oligochaetan violence, combined with the simplicity of the gameplay, that's made Worms so successful.
After all, ten million game sales can't be wrong, can they? Well, sometimes, perhaps – we weren't convinced by last year's, after all. It just wasn't up to scratch, nor did it make much use of the DS's hardware features.Worms: Open Warfare 2 is a different beast, however.First up, are the sheer range of options. From a quick game to the ability to set up highly customised experiences, head into the single-player Campaign proper (there are also Puzzle, Laboratory and Training options) or delve into the multiplayer modes, there's loads to play with.
