Worms Armageddon
Editorial Review
Worms: Armageddon is one of those eerie titles that, despite its copious flaws, still keeps us coming back for another round. The premise is extremely unadorned: use your four worms to bombard your opponent’s four worms using a variety of heavy weaponry until no enemies are left standing to fire back. The execution is a small more complicated, as in fact hitting targets requires accurately gauging the wind, as well as applying just the right amount of potential to your shot. Of course, you’ll also benefit from some excellent ancient-fashioned luck.
Due to the inferior processing potential of the Game Boy Affect platform, this version of Worms: Armageddon does sacrifice some of the features found in the game on other systems. Most notably, the weapons are nowhere near as varied as those found on the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation versions. The excellent news is that there is a lot of instant gratification to be found in this game. Each match is moderately brief since a sudden death mode kicks in after awhile. In this mode, all remaining worms have their shape reduced to the point where a poorly timed sneeze will cause them to expire. This isn’t the sort of title you can play for hours on end, but it’s exact for a 10-minute gaming fix. –T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
- Skilled shots are extremely satisfying
- Need only 1 Game Boy Affect for a 2-player game
Cons:
- Bland weapons
- Small screen size hurts gameplay

worms is a splendid game. You control worms in more then 50 levels with 14 wepons including bazoka, grenade, fire punch, dynimite, telport, baseball bat, jet pack, shotgun, airstrike, battle axe, blow tourch, sheep, banna bomb, and armogeddon.
In the game ypu can control 1-4 worms in one game that can last 5 10 or 15 minutes, In each game you can have 1, 3, or 5 rounds.
I gave it 4 stars because the screen is too small in game boy affect. also in the nintendo 64 version you have about 60 wepons compared to 14 on gbc. The graphics are ok but the squeaky voices have been cut out. It is 5 stars if you have never played the pc or nintendo 64 version.I would recommend buying the pc or nintendo 64 version unless you are looking for a portable version.

Like the Amazon.com review says you just keep coming back. This game will give you hours and hours of play and you never get tired of it. There are always new ways to take out the other worms.

Written by the same minds that produced Lemmings, we have a game where Worms crawl, jump, glide (yes, glide), and throw grenades, bazooka missles, and exploding sheep (yes, exploding shee…er…just trust me on this) at each other trying to be the last one standing… er… slinking… er…. crawling. Oh, no matter what. It’s “King of the Hill” with a small dialogue box. I wish it was larger, but on a GameBoy you get what you can. It’s an even better game for the PC, so get that one too!
