Product Information

The strategically unpredictable, massively destructive combat of Team 17's Worms returns to Nintendo DS in this follow-up to 2006's Open Warfare. As in that predecessor, and earlier home computer versions of the internationally popular game, teams of heavily armed, anthropomorphic worms take time-limited turns, maneuvering around 2D battlefields and taking their best shots at the enemy, trying to take shifting winds, destructible terrain, and randomly placed explosives in to account as well.<br><br>Annelid armies are more customizable in this second handheld edition of the game, as players can choose their battle flags, tombstones, and victory dances, and pick from a selection of squeaky, cloyingly endearing voice banks. The series' most memorable super weapons are available, including the "Holy Hand Grenade" and the "Super Sheep," along with newer uber-armaments like the "Bunker Buster" and the "Buffalo of Lies." An included level editor lets players design their own battlefields.<br><br>In addition to the standard battles, Open Warfare 2 features "Puzzle," "Fort," and "Rope Race" modes. A "Firing Range" mode allows players to get a feel for the game's powerful and unpredictable weapons. Internet-connected gamers can download new content and challenge other players around the world. A pass-around-the-handheld "Hot Seat" mode is also available, to challenge players who aren't quite so far away.
