It’s just instinctive to want to be the best when up against another individual who wants to blow your Worm to smithereens and laugh in your face…if you could see him! It goes without saying that despite having a lengthy campaign mode and varied puzzle modes in Single Player to keep you entertained and/or gritting your teeth in desperation for hours on end – the best game in any Worms is that of Xbox LIVE Multiplayer because there is nothing more satisfying than beating a real human player.

Other enhancements include the after effects of explosions and toxic items that poison worms after a close encounter, landscapes can burn, Telekinesis skills can allow you to move objects and pretty much the hazardous environments in Worms Revolution are more dangerous playgrounds than ever before. You can use water pistols, drop water balloons down trenches, and just blow away parts of the environment that will cause water to leak in and flush some Worms out into the sea. Reverting back to the new physics in Worms Revolution this takes effect mostly with the use of dynamic water and how it not only appears as background element as in past Worms games, but it’s now a major weapon. It may be a comedic, cartoony game – but it means some serious business, especially if you’re a bad loser and very competitive! You have to think about the environment, look at what equipment is readily available and weigh up the options of possibility if you have any chance of a means of survival. The clever effect of any Worms game is the window of opportunity available to you in taking down a Worm or two. It starts off pretty easy and lures you into a false sense of hope, then before you know – bang – and the Worm is gone! You’ve lost out and somehow, how the bloody hell did an enemy worm AI controlled just knock you off the face of the earth from a far-flung distance? Using imaginative weapons and a range of equipment collected from weapon drops you have just one chance per turn to beat the shit out of an enemy worm before it gets you. Single Player features a Campaign Mode that gets progressively difficult fast after completion of all the tutorials, but if you’ve played a game of Worms before – then you’ll already be aware that Campaign is a hard hitting battle between you and the AI enemy worms that have been carefully placed and set up to make you look like a bit of a cock. How you use your worms however, is entirely your decision! Soldiers are more or less the old classic Worms, Scouts can move around quicker and fall further before taking damage, Scientists can award other Worms health, but themselves have better equipment to use, and finally – Heavy Worms, as you’d expect are pretty slow moving, but can take more damage and attacks than all other worms.

Classes of Soldier, Scout, Scientist and Heavy Worms are at your disposal now.

Not some form of online learning, but different a different class of Worms can be customised. For the first time ever…yes ever…and possibly the best inclusion ever…yes ever…are Worms Classes. The game is presented as 2.5D style with 3D visuals and backgrounds running on a brand new engine. Worms Revolution does feature a nifty amount of new improvements to the series, but the standard gameplay is still the traditional turn-based elimination objectives to take down an opposing team of worms. For all the obvious reasons, Single Player is the best place to start out to get a feel for the new physics, weapons, loadouts and by the end of all the tutorials you’ll be confident at causing a mass of destruction over any gameplay mode, alone or with friends on Xbox LIVE. Starting out at the Main Menu, you can choose from a Single Player, Versus, and Xbox LIVE Modes with more options to enable you to choose your Worms Customisation or view the Leaderboards. New physics combined with more destructible environments ensure that this Worms outing will not let you down – these Worms are worth it! The comedic, passive-aggressive tube-shaped creatures are back, bigger and better than ever in a great top form. Team 17’s iconic franchise returns to the Xbox LIVE Arcade on October 10 th this year with Worms Revolution.
