It's an old school arcade game slung into It shines in Hotseat multiplayer, but suffers from frustrating controls that hold it back from being as fun as its brethren on other platforms.Armagetron is a multiplayer game in 3d that attempts to emulate and expand on the Worms 2: Armageddon is an average port of an incredibly enjoyable game. Aside from the voices, the weapons have unique sounds that add texture to the experience. Worms glance around nervously, dance when they win, and blurt out comical lines in the midst of battle. Another staple of the series, the comedy, is also present in the game. The different landscapes of levels provide an enjoyable cartoon backdrop. Worms stays true to the original from which it was ported and looks sharp and colorful. It should be noted that you're less likely to have as many control issues on a tablet or large phone. Overall, the controls for the game are at best adequate, and at worst incredibly frustrating. Another nagging issue is that much of your limited turn time will be spent slowly dragging the reticle across the screen. Unfortunately, the game sometimes has trouble recognizing the commands and you'll find your worm accidentally jumping onto a mine when trying to zoom in. It takes awhile to get comfortable with the controls and going through the tutorial is highly recommended. After a target has been selected, hold the trigger button. For more advanced weaponry such as the airstrike, place your finger on the reticle and drag it across the screen to your target. Zooming in and out is done by pinching and stretching the screen.įiring a weapon is a bit trickier: For basic weaponry you hold your finger over the reticle and move it to your desired angle. To pan around the level, press two fingers and move them towards the area you'd like to see. Tap your worm to jump forwards and tap twice to do a back-flip. To move your worm, tap and hold either side of the screen. You control your team by a wide variety of gestures and motions. Unfortunately, there is no online multiplayer. It can be played via Hotseat: up to 4 players take turns passing the phone to one another, or hosting a game over a local WiFi connection. Like other Worms games, multiplayer is the most fun. These all add to the comedy, especially when choosing the voices which range from alien to President Bush. You can also create your own team and decide on customization such as names, voices, and tomb stones. These include the classics such as the holy hand grenade and banana bomb as well as additions such as the bunker buster and poison strike. One of the best parts about Worms 2 Armageddon is the plethora of weapons to choose from. The next turn they'll launch a grenade across the map, bank it off of three walls, and have it detonate on top of your worm. On the easiest setting, the computer controlled teams can take one turn where they blow themselves up firing a rocket into a wall directly in front of them.
Worms 2 Armageddon has trouble balancing the difficulty of the A.I.
